I miss the colour scheme. It was much easier on the eyes.

Is there a setting to increase the number of posts per page that I am missing?
I think the problem is that it isn't all that evident to most users that that changes the style (as you have to actually mouse over it to realize that is the style chooser).On the bottom of the screen in the dark blue bar, on the left side of the bar is a button to choose your style. @wdwmagic added several different style options, including WDWMAGIC Classic which has the powdered blue colors like the old forum.
The "Live" new post feature makes me sea sick. I also can't find the "quick reply" /post feature. To post to the thread I had to "reply" to a poster and then take the quote out. I am sure I will get used to the "improved" Magic but liked the old better. It was much more user friendly.

Not sure what a "internet award" is, but I think awards for member of the day/week/month might be cool. Or most helpful, friendly, knowledgable, etc awards.No, like a internet award.
Having played around some more....
-WDWMagic Classic Liquid style is PERFECT on the eyes.
-I love everything about replying to a message. The ease of switching between rich text and plain text. The always-available editing tools. The simplicity of uploading attachments.
-I like how you can customize your alerts and choose what you want to be in your face and what you don't care about. For example, I prefer to go to "watched threads" to see who has replied to threads I've participated in, and I didn't like that I was getting alerts as well, so I turned them off. Now I'm only getting alerts when someone quotes me or likes me, which is perfect.
-Love the Facebook integration. No more starting threads saying "what is your Facebook?"
-I like the uniformity of the avatars on the side.
-Speaking of things I like, I like the likes. It's nice to acknowledge that you appreciate a comment without having to actually interrupt the flow of a conversation. And seeing how many likes each person has under their avatar is fun and makes me want to be more liked.
-Trophies are fun too.
-The search is SO much better. Boy was it ever brutal on vbulletin.
-I like the little links up in the top right to easily view Steve's youtube videos, twitter feed, etc.
-Seeing the list of top posters off to the side is neat, even though I will never be able to beat the news robot.
-The announcements at the top are great.
-I used to get really lost with all of the information on the old forum. It seemed like there was too much to take in and I was missing a lot just because of how it was arranged. It's so much easier to find what I'm looking for here.
-Mainly, the load speed is what does it for me. This sucker is fast. I used to give up on trying to read on my iPhone or iPad when I wasn't on Wi-fi, and forget being able to post coherently from those devices because the editing functionality was so terrible. This works so much better. I wonder how many minutes of my life have been wasted waiting for pages on WDWMagic to load?
Now that I have my beautiful WDWMagic Classic Liquid style, I am down to one single complaint. There is no way to LOL at people anymore. None of the emoticons convey laughter and I hate saying "LOL". It's so 90's AOL chat-roomish. Maybe I'll just have to say "haha that's very funny" all the time.
PS - I have officially decided that is a good replacement for :lookaroun
One thing I'm having trouble with is the pop up box for inserting images. Sometimes it loads slowly or not at all, so I went back to using plain text and image tags. I would prefer to use the image pop-up box in rich text mode because then I could see what image I'm actually posting. Is it just my computer?

The speed is incredible. @wdwmagic, the new hardware is incredible. Hope us PMers help offset the bill.
