Well as you can all see, the New Board Experience has launched!
If for some reason you're still seeing old graphics, simply press Ctrl + F5, because you're browser is probably caching the old graphics. You may need to do this for multiple pages.
What's new on the New Experience?
-Chat Bar
At the bottom of every page, you'll see a chat bar which lets you chat with your friends, tells you which friends are online and also lets you either create or enter a user created chat room and chat with others (this is based on the cometchat plugin I purchased but spent an entire day alone modifying and working on). You can disable the plugin in the edit profile page, or you can simply make it so that it appears on the index only.
-All new graphics and scheme
Completely updated graphics and a new design which makes navigating the site easier and quicker
-Friends list
You can add users to your friends list but either going to the Control Panel and than to Friends List, or you can add them from their profile
-Status Bar
Below the banner you will see a status bar which now shows who is also on that page for every single page
-You now get 100
Viz for coming to vizzed board each day (before it was 50)
-Help Links
This isn't finished yet but I plan to make terminology that users are unfamiliar with clickable links (as you can see, the word 'viz' is a clickable link in most areas which now takes you to a page telling you how to earn it and what it is
-Optimization
Many pages have been optimized so that they put less strain on the server and also make the page load faster
-About Us page
Gives detailed information about vizzed from general information, credits, privacy policy, disclaimer and some history
-Updated Index
Gives a little more information, has a google search and also encourages users to bookmark the page
-
Viz Center
Gives you your referral link (like before) but also shows your
Viz count, has a donation button and has a link you can click for more information
-Etc
Please report any problems you may have with the new experience in this thread:

but PLEASE be specific and detailed. It's not quite finished but I figured it was far enough along to go live.
