These may be things you're already aware of, but...
Many of the image links are invalid, including ones associated with forum titles and "Smilies."
I was unable to log in with my user name and password and was forced to reset it.
Messages with images throughout no longer display those images but, instead, display something like this: [attachmentid=1585]. (The attachments are still grouped at the end of the message.)
Also, I like the ability to click directly into a subforum (e.g. Kia Carnival & Sedona or 2006+ Kia Carnival & Sedona).
I'll post other problems if I come across them.

The new format does look much more fresh I have to say, but am missing the smilies and as mentioned by Inky, Many pictures dont work...
Forum is much faster now, Love the pictures down the side in the garage, but the descriptions seem to make no sense now as they do not seem to link to the mod's anymore and as such dont make much sense, It was quite useful when you could click on a Mod to find out what it was (I never knew what an airfilter breather was for example). I also cant seem to find a way to look at each type of vehicle. In short, the garage looks funky, but I cant seem to edit it and, some of my gallery picutres are missing.
I think you have done a great job overhalling it, I like the new format garage alot, but could do with mod title over description, Gallery images as the random ones (With others directly below) and mods below maybe?
Will all garages need to be redone? And is there anyway to link the mod description to the picture?
Do like the new look though... Keep up the good work!
I'm a very loyal member of a Jeep forum and enjoy it's layout. However, when I came across KIA-forums, I was even more impressed. Now, many of those features and layout concepts I liked are gone.
In short, I don't like the new layout much and the navigation seems to be more complicated. However, it does seem to be exponentially faster.

The old program has its limits. The upgrade was necessary in order for the forum to continue to grow.
There are going to be some minor bugs which we will find along the way and any help in catching these bugs is greatly appreciated.
VB is a good program and very user friendly but does take a little bit of playing around since it is not what you are used to. We are trying to make the functionality the same however there are some minor options the other program had that vb is just not cabable of doing or rather it works in a different way.

We are working on fixing this issue as I type.
I was unable to log in with my user name and password and was forced to reset it.
Passwords from the old site cannot be moved over to the new site because they cannot be decrypted.

vBulletin handles attachments differently than IPB does Therefore we have a little bit of configuring to do on this one

Thank you

I wouldnt go changing too much yet. As mentioned the images are handled differently with the new software and some edits are being made to try and duplicate the old program or as much as possible.
