What do you miss about the old RF

I quite like the new format, it's pretty user friendly.

What can I add to this. I mean I'm in agreement with pretty much everyone here. I liked the simplicity of the old RF. Being able to find things or people in a thread or across the whole forum. No ads. I was able to see all my threads and all the ones I was involved in instead of having to select "watch" in order to keep up with my threads.
No matter how much you try and make it look like the old RF....it will never be that or anything close to it. I don't care for this social media style format. If I wanted that I'd just hangout on facebook. Right now this format is a structual convoluted mess (IMHO)

Ah so! Had to look around a bit, but eventually found the right spot. Thanks
Now if only more people would post theirs.

Much like others stated, the color scheme back then was significantly easier on the eyes.
Lack of multiple thumbnails of the same picture, over and over.
Lack of notifications and alerts to things other than what I specifically am following.
"Latest Posts"
Frubal structure. If you guys remember pre-Frubal explosion old RF, I miss the meaningless of the number of frubals. Now I can see in exact detail how many times have been fruballed. I guess now on RF, you don't see that number, but you see everyone anyone "likes" one another post, which make me too uncomfortable to use, and makes me uncomfortable when people use it on my post.
And obviously the fact comments are missing, though it's my understanding these will all be back.
Lack of a side message board where every profile message is displayed for anyone to see. I feel more particularly uncomfortable about profile messaging on anyone's page, or having anyone say anything to me.
I tend to agree with DP.
I probably would have donated what I could to old RF if I was even aware donations were needed, and that probably has to do with not being strong-armed with ads into doing so.
The chances of me donating to RF anytime soon are virtually zero. I'm satisfied with the hundreds of hours of content I produced to attract new users to look at ads.
The religion field, so that I could be informed as to where people are coming from, or getting an idea of how they identify religiously.
General lack of media.
Trivially, I miss when user info for a post was above a post, as opposed to the right of it.
And, of course, tons of people...
Couple new things I like... uploading function, new chatroom, new personal messaging system.
I don't mean to sound whiny. I understand how difficult it is to code new stuff and all that mess. I just don't understand the attempted fixing at something that isn't broken. I've been on here for 7 years. What was the problem?

Activeness of the forum.
I don't know why I feel like that old-RF was more active than this new one.
Is it only me, or someone else also feel like.. that number of active members have decreased due of this new cover ?

It does. I can't name names, but the number of participants does seem lower.

I don't like how, when you want to use the search function, you're not able to select only those posts "since your last visit." You have to actually specify a date and, unless you're on the forum every single day, you may not know what date to use to pick up all of the relevant new posts. And the words "newer than" really seem crazy to me. When is "newer than" today, anyway? Tomorrow?
My biggest complaint is that you can no longer tell people what you liked about their posts when you frubal them, and you never know what it was about your posts that someone liked enough to frubal them.

It seems all the threads from the previous forum are gone. Are they gone? If they are still here where can they be found? Old forurm had a complete list of threads started by a certain poster. But this forum lists only 10 pages of posts.
It's speed.

No script kills java that you don't approve of, which helps a lot with ad trackers and other crap that bogs down your computer. Adblockplus has the goal of blocking intrusive marketing while allowing non-intrusive ads (which you have to enable).
