Each time the "look/skin" is updated (once in a while and not all the time, thankfully), it just gets uglier and uglier. This time is no exception.

I too would like an option to revert to the old style. It's impossible to see which threads have been read and there's so. much. wasted. space. Everything's spread out, and my eyes already hurt from all the white.
I wish I had something nice to say...

******* AWFUL !
Seriously, have you guys learned NOTHING about making changes? It looks abject crap, like someone has stretched out the characters.
It is absolutely unfathomable to me is this approach. Pure bloody arrogance and shows, once again, you couldn't care less about the users.

Not sure if something was changed post update or if it took some time. But, any thread I'd previously read in the old version isn't distinguished from threads that are unread or have new content. As I've opened some threads in the new version they are now showing in regular type rather than bold. I also noticed that "moved" threads aren't in bold.

The font size in the "My FlyerTalk" section for the posts is waaaay too small. I'm not that old, and my eyes aren't that bad. But it is a bit on the too small side. I'm normally a fan of sans serif fonts, but the size of this relative to the rest of the fonts on the screen, it just seems off. It would be nice to have the ability to increase it a notch or two. Just a bit too much eye strain.
Also, with the light grey being predominant in the theme, a couple different "dark modes" would be helpful. Or just go back to a white background. It just feels like someone finally started using IOS 9 and thought "Flat is good."

It is just so crap. you have undone all the work that you had fixed from the last disastrous roll-out - if I can call it that. The OP is now some insipid color, overlaps other parts of the profile, too much white space, too much grayscale. just turn it back to what it was as this is back into the days of Netscape Navigator. Seriously.
