I liked the old Your Discussions tab much better.  It grouped all of my Discussions together regardless of which forum the thread was located on.  Under this awful new fomat, Your Discussions is grouped under each forum.  Now I have to look around ten times instead of once.

After reading these offerings of wisdom above and trying things out. This version seems to do every thing i need of it. I find it, other then the look of the pages the same as the other version.

But, that just shows my replies to threads.

Your Discussions shows others replies to threads that I have participated in.

Whereas all of those other replies used to appear under Your Discussions, no matter which forum, now Your Discussions is grouped per forum instead of all in one place.

Set 'Rich Formatting' to default and uncheck that danged 'Email me messages' box. And where's the post count?

[richhotrain]

Please unclick "Email Me Replies to this Post".

It's just fine.  As Murray said, the larger font is good for tired eyes, too.  The colors also brighten the look.

1. Is it possible to have the "EMAIL ME REPLIES TO THIS POST" check box un-checked as the default rather than the other way around?  I prefer not have reply notices sent to my e-mail address if I forget to un-check the box.  There also doesn't appear to be a way to change that in edit mode once you've posted.
   
2. Is it possible to have the Use rich formatting option as the default?  It is for a new post but not for a reply.
3. It would be nice if I could delete a post once it's posted.  Currently, all I can do is edit it.
4. Thanks for making the numbering format available again.

What happened to the username's location?  Like "Denver, CO. Please enable this back, with post count and join date.

OK this is not that great, I prefered the denser topics listings, l now have to scroll and scroll and scroll just to readd whatever is in the forum topics listing, it was easier before to read a bunch and see what I was interested in

Other than that Meh, I'm not surprised, techies always jerk you around when they change things, this is the exact same format now on the Finescale Modeler website, and the end result of those changes was me posting even less. I thought when changes were made is was for the better, not just changes for changes sake or this new Bang Pow format is sooo superior, its often soooo much more confusing also. We'll grunt grumblegnash our teeth but we'll figure it out.

Let see

Pics work OK

smilies OK

I think I'll survive

Found the "Location" that but in a non obvious place.  Click on your/my avatar and scroll down looking on the Right Side for the "About" section box

 Yes I saw that. I was talking about the way it showed up before. Along with Post Count, Join Date, Location.

 And could they please have the Username and this info stated, listed on the left? Like every other forum on the internet? I've never even seen or used a forum, where the Usernames are in the middle of each post.

Your not in Kansas anymore.

Yeah, when you get comfortable with something the IT guys gotta upset the apple cart.  You know how it is with us old farts - change is a PITA.  My work computer gets upgraded to Window 7 tomorrow - grrrr....
