I like the current design although i am not an old user, I begin using Daniweb as my programming forum since 1 years only, since I was vfp programmer.
The design is good to the eyes (my eyes at least) and the navigation is simple.
I liked the new rating system. I guess it will take it is effect and it will show up the important of it when there is a discussion and 2 people expressing there ideas about one subject, they can see which opinion is getting more approval.
I just had one problem with the current design.
I am not able to see the Hybird style of the sheet, where I was using it to post an answer to specific user. I am not saying that you should return it back, but what is the good way to post to specific person after -let say 2 days- where there is many posts already there. Quote his entire post in my response?

I'm liking the new profile page 
I really like the new statistics that you are including. If you made every stat clickable that would be nice but just another feature request. For example on the "Community" tab page you have "Total Posts: N", then you could click on the "Statistics" tab and click "Find all posts by ____" to locate those N posts. With the upgrade you also hid the users "Favorite Forum" list because of "privacy issues" but that feature is basically back by seeing which forums they regularly post in.
As far as the rest of the sight i'm glad to see all of the bold 0's on the forum indexes for unvoted posts.
I am also glad to see the christmas tree colors gone on the vote up/down -- and their new position so it isn't easily confused with rep.
At this point I think i'm out of points to complain about
Good job Dani!

I'm talking about the color scheme, the main navigation, the aesthetics, if it's pleasing to the eye to look at for a long time, etc.
Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

> If you are using Firefox, try the NoScript extension to block the 'addthis' domain and your problem should go away.
jephthah, even though you don't use them, we do track how many people do, and a lot of people do use them. So we need to cater to the masses Plus they are good traffic boosters.
sos, do you think that blocking addthis with an adblocker would work?

Yes, it does work. Plus, NoScript isn't exactly an adblocker. See attached.

No, I mean for people who don't want to install another FF plugin (b/c low resources for so many plugins, etc) but who already have an adblocker installed.

Yes again. If you already have an adblocker like 'Ad Blocker Plus' installed, you can block the entire 'addthis' domain. But I'm pretty sure it isn't something much to worry about since it requires creating custom rules to block the 'addthis' domain, which I know 99% of the people won't bother doing / won't know of.

I disagree, I never even notice those things.
@ Dani - I like the overall layout of the site. It has one of the cleaner, nicer looking interfaces I've seen on a forum without being overly complex.
