Seems slower and slightly more bloated, am I the only one noticing a delay when typing?
Got a tip for us?

Keep crying. Flat is a million times better, come into the 21st century with the rest of us.
I'm hoping for the return of posters' locations below their avatar. Don't care much about post count there, but it'd be nice to have location.
As someone who previously ran a large forum I know how much the griping about a new design can wear on you. Just want to say that I LOVE the new design and appreciate all of the hard work that went into it.
The one suggestion I would make, that would appease a lot of people, is to offer a slightly modified version of this theme with a light to medium grey background.

Change is hard to get used to. But we will get used to it I'm sure.
Personally I like it. Change is good. Security is good.

Good Job! Xenforo is the evolution of Vbulletin. The design is comfortable to look at and tasteful.

They were there yesterday. That's odd they are gone now.
Looks like there is some duck tape and glue at work.
New design looks okay. Took me a while to work out how to search within the current thread, and it takes up to four clicks now before you can type your search, but not a huge deal. Do we really need the 'REPORT' button to be as big as the 'REPLY' button though? It's just screaming out to be pressed!
Not a big fan of the new look (too much dead space makes it seem bloated) but definitely a fan of the new/added functionality and security.
Painful to look at, like the new ESPN website (though not quite as bad as that monstrosity). It's a shame that this is the current trend in website (and OS) design.
iCloud Keychain worked just fine for my account credentials on the old forum.
With this new software, I will say the page-to-page navigation is much more functional.
There's one change I'd make. I'd rather just see an upvote/like number which you click to see the names of people vs the current "Name1, Name2, Name3, and # others like this."
I think just showing the number was more straightforward and less cluttered.

I am still getting used to the new format but I think I like this better. The real question is how this will look like on the watch and why do you not have a watch app MR? 
I like the look, but information density seems very low. Minimum post size seems to be about 240 pixels tall, which is *very* large when you're looking at a 1-line post. Just scanning a page full of posts, the contents are hard to see among all the other visual noise. I'd shrink everything apart from the contents: the buttons screaming at the bottom of each post, the avatars, etc.
I like the update for the most part. I miss the post number. Unless I'm missing it. I only come here from my iPhone. I don't see how to post a reply either without quoting someone first. Maybe I missed it.

This! I couldn't have said it better myself. @arn please read this post!
After about 20 minutes on here, my eyes are hurting.
Don't hold your breath. We've been waiting on this since 2008.
I've looked at Yosemite for almost a year now. It still feels the same old ugly piece of junk... This new MacRumors theme ain't different...
