I'm guessing, but I'm not sure.
I know the post in my signature works, but well, that link goes to the first post in the thread so maybe a no brainer there.
What do you mean by linking to individual posts? there is link to each post, click on the number in the green box on the right of each reply and you'll receive the direct link to that specific post. If you mean to the fact that a post is still presented in a thread flow, then yes, it's a smart SEO decision versus a bad, not productive, and old VB3 decision.
No. They all have 301 redirects. You will enter the old link and be automatically redirected to the new link of the same post.
Cleaner design, but it takes up so much browser space, is there a way to compact it. I am scrolling forever.
I should have been more clear. You can link to a post on the page and get there the way Xenforo is doing it.
But if you let a user determine the number of posts per page then that will throw the system off.
Not as nice to look at, not as easy to navigate, takes up more space, fresh new bright white theme....yeah it's much more of the times now.
A very much needed makeover. Took me massively by surprise!
I'd like to see a bit more shading of certain elements to help me differentiate between them. That's one of my absolute biggest gripes with the latest versions of OS X and iOS, and it's unfortunate it's been carried over here.
The (forum's) front page is also definitely a massive step backwards. Being able to quickly see the latest post in the latest thread was really helpful. And having each sub-forum in it's own 'square' as opposed to a slim block takes up unnecessary amounts of space.
The whole thing will take me a long time to re-learn, but, on the whole - looking good!

Thanks for the info.
Well, that's a bummer. I hate 25 posts per page and loved 100. This is a real downgrade.
You say that it's a much needed makeover and that it's looking good, but then you proceed to state why the old version was better in so many ways.
Wow. Just wow.
I go to MR and hit forums and am met with this new design.
I love it but I wasn't expecting it so fast.
Goos job guys.

That's what she said.
I do agree that I was not expecting the switch to happen this quickly.
It seems that it IS possible to link to a specific post using the path /posts/postnumber/, for example https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/21383771/ goes to an earlier post of mine. That means that it should be possible to make variable posts per page work; indeed as eyoungren said above, there's an addon that seems to do it.
By the way, I'm not trying to be overly negative; I just believe that issues should be brought to light

Too much white, honestly. it's kinda bright
I don't like that you can't see when someone replying to the thread is the thread starter. It used to be highlighted.
