I'm using the old style. To be quite honest, I dislike the new look intensely. I could use stronger words than that, but I see no reason to be combative.
My first specific complaint is the less clear demarkation between posts. The subsilver theme has each complete post in one large box, that is much more clearly sectioned off. The new style does not do this at all and that makes it somewhat harder to read.
The next complaint I have, which goes rather well with the first, is the lack of clarity in something that is being quoted. The old style has quoted text in a rather obvious white box; the new style surrounds quoted text with dash-lines and does not change the color at all. In my opinion, the new way is clearly inferior. It might be even worse with nested quotes, but as those are prohibited in this forum that is a moot point. Signatures are also not as clearly demarked in this new style.
That's all for now, but since I don't exactly post here much it probably doesn't matter a whole lot. In any event, I am using the old style and will not switch to the new unless the above problems (well, they're problems in my opinion) are cleared up.
Da.
