lemme see
 

  • oh dear god what is this facebook stuff?
  • White site, that took a while. 
  • Looks like there are some design changes here and there
  • New "online now" tab, it's really green
  • Looks like we have a "followed blogs" and "follow feed" options at the online friends thing
  • Profile page look the same
  • When creating a thread it asks if you want to link it on your facebook account (eh?)
  • no site achievements
  • i think that there is a new tab in the "users" tab on the top but i'm not sure. 
  • The search feature is overhauled, not for the better i'm under the impression
  • new bombcast background
  • Search feature is completely busted. It auto completes your entry which makes it impossible to search for the thing you need. 
  • Wiki pages look the same
  • When you edit a wiki page a huge bar that will burn your eyes replaces the old dark bar in which you could leave a comment for a mod
  • The window that pops up to add a new page has been redesigned but it has the same features
  • very frequent error 500
  • Featured user review is removed from the frontpage
  • new graphs on xbox achievement page
  • the "online" button on the forums new sends you to a paged list of all the online users instead of showing all the icons of those online

New graphs on achievement page.  BTW, there's a lot of empty space between the graph and the below individual games listings.
 
Top poll option is highlighted.  History icon above ^ looks different.  "Online Now" looks different.
 
Facebook something or other...

The white site messes up the search and login bars. But apart from that, it looks awesome.

Haha yeah, agreed. I can barely see your name because it's a certain shade of grey against another shade of grey background.

Any facebookers that have linked their accounts yet? What are the differences?
 
Also, no achievement graphs for Steam? :(

If you guys look at the view and reply counts of each new thread, the newest ones (This one, Daves 2 threads) don't have a view count, but they do have a reply count. haha

What happened to the reply to topic box? It's microscopic. I'm going to assume this is only a temporary thing.

Some nice new features make it have a cleaner look.  I will say this, the Facebook stuff isn't good.  The new Facebook icon on the top of the screen should be moved to the profile page and stop asking me to publish my posts to Facebook.

If you go to your profile and then forums, it now lists all your posts instead of just the topics you've started.

Found another bummer:
 

 The page numbers isn't at the top of the page anymore.   (Taken from Anime Vice)

@Rallier: Oh thanks =).
The white doesn't look that bad imo. I guess it's because my screen brightness is turned down a bit.
Still I wont be using the white design.

There are still some cosmetic changes left for the White mode to be complete, such as some parts of a site are still black, with black text on them, but other than that, it has a bright future.
