This beta seems like it'll be a very good update for the forum in terms of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The ability to select titles is nice, the posting box works great, and the ability to see threads a user started is helpful in many ways.
I do have a few complaints, though.
For one, I don't like how hitting the enter key once doesn't create a single new line and instead starts a new paragraph entirely. I'd like it to function like it does on the normal forum.
The poll results don't seem to show the number of votes for each option, only percentages. I would prefer it if polls also showed the number of votes each option received.
There isn't a button to insert BB code.
Spoilers can't be named.
There's no "My Content" button. This was a very helpful feature.
There isn't a way to select new text fonts. Only headings and font sizes.
Aside from these, this new forum update looks very promising. The layout is nice and clear, and the edit function isn't glitched out 90% of the time. I look forward to the day the forum is updated.
One thing I'd like to have added, though, is thread descriptions from the version of the forum before the current non-beta one.

Admin2. If you hover over the results percentage it will give you the number of votes (eg: 5 out of 15 votes).
3. That's noted, I'm not sure if we'll have the "special bbcode" option at launch but it's on the list to be added!
4. Noted!
5. Have you tried to "new content" option from the tools drop down on the forum index?
6. Fonts are disabled at the moment but the option exists, I'll look at enabling it
7. This feature is on the list to be added in the future.
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated
