Better, than the test site, blander than the past.

The site upgrade is a good opportunity to get rid off those images and replace them with actual text.
There is already more than enough menu text below those images.
huh? what is the advantage of having images of text, rather than using actual text?

It fits together with the images of the header.
couldn't you achieve the same with simply using text on a color gradient background? the only thing that warrants using an image are those black separators, and honestly, they don't fit very well

edit: or just use text on that very same background image (btn_bkgrnd.png), there is really no need to use poorly scaling text-as-image

Is it possible to create a button to close a spoiler after opening it? sometimes they're very long and bothersome to scroll through

I am not sure if this was intended but now both the "Discord" button and "Official Discord Server" link are gone.

"I Post News" is so far right it's bothering me..

I'd like if it was directly under name or further to the left.

Like this maybe:

The formatting is the least offensive part though?

New scroll buttons block part of the Reply button (I guess it's not a problem for peasants who use the fixed width theme). And frankly they're unnecessary on desktop. Can't you make them viewable only for mobile users?

Twiglard User title's need a 2 px margin increase at the top, and 1 px margin increase at the bottom of the field compared to what we have now. Look at Lady Error 's title to see why:

Also, with the rightful return of left-justification to the throne, you may want to consider moving the online status indicator from the bottom-right to the bottom-left. That should ensure that even avatars cropped in the X plane have a consistent visual with the indicator.

It's like this on the old forum too. If the title gets more padding then it looks as "important" as the username.

Can you compromise and try at least 1px on the top? right now it's unequal, more padding on the bottom than the top.

Are there any other affected posters beside Lady_Error?

The misalignment of the margins around the title is evident for all users, it's just most prominent for her's. Take a look at your own, notice how the emoji and title are snug up against your username with more padding above the 'PATRON' badge? That's why I say try adding 1 px at the top, it will help balance out everyones' titles, not just hers.

See if adjusting this:
CSS:
.message-user .message-userTitle:not(.user-monocled), .message-user .message-name {
    line-height: 14px;
}
from 14px to 15px does what you want.

There are keyboard shortcuts for a lot of things, but it's still a lot more convenient to have clickable buttons for them.
