I just got home from work, and, I got to say, the site looks a lot better. I do prefer seeing the newest posts below. Reading the thread in reverse feels weird.
All in all, we've waited a long time. It's nice to see the new site finally here.
Now to see what else is going on here.
Testing edit: Made post on Rekonq. After it saved, it logged me out and the site went from English to German, but, that's Rekonq, I'm having no problems using Firefox/Iceweasel.
BTW - You can change in what order the posts show up in the user profile. I changed mine and the most recent posts are on the bottom.
