its good, but i think it's a little bit too bright for me. kinda makes my eyes hurt.
 
I'm not entirely sure how you can ask that question yet. I mean, it looks great, but it's only the header. It doesn't expand to the rest of the forums.
 
Other, the first day I went on and I was different I was like "What? everything is all different and I'm confused" but I like the new look its cool.
 
I like it, given that it's winter and all, but when it's not winter I'm going to miss the colors.


So maybe keep the design but add back color once the winter season's over?


(Or just add the color back now for the Australians…)
 
While I do like it, there is only one complaint I have that isn't a huge deal for most...

The enter key being disabled for logging in.

I spent more time then I'd like to admit checking to make sure my enter key was working properly....
 
So, how about being able to switch to different designs? Was this mentioned before?
 
Although it is "state-of-the-art" to use simple, minimalistic icons for everything there are places where one shouldn't use icons.
This design is a good example:

Anybody who is new to eGO would find his way around website with a lot more easy if there was text too, not just icons (which aren't necessary self-explanatory).
Yes, I know there are tooltips, but those aren't of much help on mobile devices - which are quite common nowadays ;)

Personally I liked the old design better, but I'm just an old man :)

Totally agree on this. I am a webdesigner myself, and the usability is awefull right now. The style is called "flat-design", but this is a bad execution of that certain style.
It also doesn't fit the rest of the website. It doesn't fit the subject of this website. It needs text for new users. The color is a weird choice, grey has little personality. The margins around the icons are way too small, make the icons smaller (not the circle but the inner icon). The style has no color palette, except grey and white, which are no colours.

Conclusion: bring back the old style, or create a new one.
 
Meh. The old one felt more colorful and vivid, but this one is simple and organized.
Basically: Meh, whatever.
 
Its better looking now than last week. Last week it looked like minecraft blocks and now it has snow flakes which look great for the holidays. I think the icons thought still need some color or animation
