I just noticed when looking at the new profile stuff, that there's some fudgery going on when there's a topic listed with no replies (or at least that seems to be the culprit).

Have a look at http://channel9.msdn.com/Niners/prencher/ - Notice how every item below 'new visitmix' is off and link doesn't work.

Aside: Forum doesn't automatically pick up raw links like the above. Seems silly not to.

New visitmix [New visitmix]

Anybody else seen the new v4 based visitmix? Pretty spiffy looking.

Very nice design, quite clean and not full of barf worthy chrome like edge or ch8.

On further look though.. Where did the session viewer thingi go? Is it still there somewhere, or where have those videos gone?

Also the pagination seems to break randomly, after a couple of clicks, it updates the pane with the page you were already on, and then the button stops working.

Search on v4? [Search on v4?]

Am I blind or is there no search on the new site - will it be coming back?

The current search functionality seems pretty useless to me, get better results googling with site:, will this be improved? Some live search integration perhaps?

viewstate still on the beta? [viewstate still on the beta?]

I was under the impression that you'd eliminated viewstate on the new site, yet there's still a whole bunch of viewstate being generated.

Did you drop it? Or what's going on?

First of all, I really really don't like the design; But this has been discussed to death in several other threads already, so lets it at that and get down to business.

The layout has some odd spacing just below the menu when viewing in firefox; it's not there in IE. Don't pull another v3 and make it only work half the time in firefox please.
Login with passport/live works weird in the current ch9, in firefox.. Shows "Logged in as: foo" in the title, but menu shows login, and can't accees profile; Posting does work however. Please fix this in v4.
You can't link to pages easily in the forums, just like currently. Sucks. If you want to be all ajaxy at least don't break the browser; Append #page2 or something and have the js hook into that so you can copy-paste the urls (or even just bookmark them).
The frontpage looks very dull, the data is very busy, and the columned layout of it is just bad.
Threads don't read well at all in the new. A lot of this, and the previous point comes down to the design issues however. Lack of contrasts.
