This post is my first since logging into the new forum a couple minutes ago. It definitely looks more modern with large windows and stone floors and walls. I have been in the old format so long that I felt that to be more like a cozy cabin in comparison.
I’m sure that I will adjust, given time.

Well, I’m glad you still have the “like” rating; where’s the “funny”, “informative”, and “creative” ratings?
You have to mouse over the like button for other alternatives, though there are different options than in the previous iteration.
The previous version was severely outdated by about ten years, rendering it irreparable. Nonetheless, we have recently commenced work on the new version that will endeavor to reinstate the much-admired features to the fullest extent possible and incorporate new ones that align with the current era and streamline the user experience.
Kind of comfortable with the older format but makes its easier to add personal pictures.
At present, we are in the process of rebuilding all the old features and styles from scratch, as the upgrade remains incomplete. We are diligently working on restoring the missing options while simultaneously enhancing the existing ones to the best of our abilities.
Here are three things I'm having difficulty with. (Apologies if others have already mentioned these and I missed explanations!)
1. We no longer seem to have our religion included in the profile that shows up with our postings. I kind of liked being able to see all the different religions (as well as non-religion) that people have. It gave some perspective to what they were saying in their posts.
2. I've seen a few mentions of this already: That our previously earned reputation points have mostly been trimmed down somehow. I know for certain that I had nearly twice as many positive reactions as there were messages of mine recorded. It's not a big deal -- I was just wondering how those reputation points were trimmed down. Were the points received before for "friendly," "informative," "useful," etc. the ones that got deleted, leaving only the "like" points?
3. When looking through the posts in a thread, I can't tell which page I'm currently on. The pagination at the bottom doesn't seem to highlight the current page that one is reading. It would be nice to know what page I'm on, so I could guess how long it might take to get to the end of the entire thread.
I just want to say for the record that these aren't complaints. I'll gratefully go along with whatever we get here at Religious Forums. RF is still a way better place than some other places on the Interwebs. Thank you for that, mods and members both!

I do think it's dumb that even on PC that on a religious forum people's religion doesn't just show up.

Yep. When I come on the new thread list was where I always went to.

Not sure yet. To early to give a good opinion.
Thank you for your effort.
This has already been identified, given the theme of the forum, as problematic. I'm confident the site owners are working on a resolution as I type this.
As much as I dislike all the blue combined with orange in the default style, I've opted to use that for now because it's easier on the eyes when looking at quoted posts and the hyperlinks are highlighted in blue (they are the default color in the RF style and you can't tell they're hyperlinks unless you mouse over them).
I have made use of the profile banner feature and set mine to something completely unpredictable and shocking!
Didn't even know this was an option until I moused over your username and saw it. I set mine up as well. It happens to be the background image on my laptop, tablet, and phone.
