"A little different"? Try "completely hosed". The style chooser no longer has the original Classic option. Try going to an advanced reply page. The text box is NARROWER than it used to be, rather than wider. It's only about 1/3 the width of how you'd typically open a browser window. Makes for a LOT of vertical scrolling. (Hint: computer monitors are getting BIGGER, with more pixels wide, NOT smaller. Styles should take advantage of that.)
And the new style takes up a lot more real estate, generally. More useless whitespace between objects. Once again, more vertical scrolling.

The old classic template was disabled a long time ago. The template before the update was named "FTE_Updated" which was a style that was revised about two years ago.

Give me a screenshot of your text reply box. My text editor is full screen.
EDIT: We are working to update the text editor sometime tonight.
Mixed bag, actually. Here's the forum home page, once you've collapsed a bunch of irrelevant sections, old version + new version. New version, less real estate used on banners, notices, welcome, etc. on top. Good. But the collapsed sections have big whitespaces in between, pretty-much blowing all the real estate saved above.
I noticed that all the fonts are different, everything displays in an odd way, and there are advertisements EVERYWHERE even when I'm signed in. Sigh.........

In the editor its the default font.
