None. But if you get one of them to work the wait is so much easier!!!
Honestly, I kicked myself for not just trying a different browser earlier, would have been better for my blood pressure.

The upgrade is great, but since it happened I haven't been able to start a new post. I can reply to an existing post, but not start a new one. Help?????

Lack of effective word-wrap on posts is incredibly annoying and this interferes with some functions such as quidk reply and/or reply to thread.

I wasn't aware that you were asking a question. Word wrap is working fine for the majority of users.
It is for me across 4 test platforms - Win7/IE9, Win7/Chrome, WinXP/IE8 and WinXP/Chrome (4 different machines). This post was written using my Win7/IE9 machine and word wrapped correctly.
What browser/version are you using? Windows/Mac? IE7 conflicts with the new .vBulletin - our recommendation is to upgrade to IE8, Firefox 3.x.x. or Chrome - seems to resolve many issues.
We can't address backward functionaliy with IE7, we didn't write the .vBulletin software.
If you can post a screenshot here it may help diagnose the problem.

I find the new site much slower, more difficult to navigate because the quick navigation pull down menu is clunkier and sometimes positioned too far to the right (partially off-screen) and in general I don't think it looks any better, worse actually. Not much of an "upgrade" IMO. Sure, I'm not using the latest computer in the world, but why should I have to for a simple internet forum?
So, what are the benefits of the new site?

It might be not-quite-as-slow today as it was a few days ago, but still much slower, clunkier, and less overall user-friendly IMO than the old site. Again, there must be benefits I'm unaware of, anyone want to fill me in? I have not read this entire thread, the way things are loading it would take a lot of extra time.
