I hope you understand that this new layout lacks design elements that apart from their aesthetic purpose have a clear technical purpose to visually make the things stick out and make the reading experience less frustrating.
This is just a bunch of unsorted text on the page that makes no visual sense. This version of forum lacks graphic elements to make it contemporary looking, so my suggestion is to aim for as close visuals to the old layout as possible, that includes the more sophisticated background, better banner, more visible quote windows, FC official posts having different colored background and the list goes on what elements are missing comparing to previous layout.
So, I really hope as you say that this is "unfinished product", as it is quite obvious that this not an upgrade but a bunch of elements with no serious design behind it.

Yes the new store still blows
Why not update all the ancient forum rules and stickies and make them relevant to the current state of the game/forum.
How many people are seeing ads? You definitely shouldn't be, we are not showing any ads on our forums (I've seen a couple of posts)
1. The color combinations are hard on my eyes now. Its a brighter "orangish" background.
2. Its not as intuitive, and I liked it better when I didn't have to chose which 'new posts' I wanted to see (plus putting new posts on the left side now makes more cumbersome to have to pull the mouse to the left to see new posts).
3. If the font was bigger and the background less 'bright' that would be nice. Do forums have a way of choosing font size for reading?
4. I would rather see the New Posts on the right side again. With the 'basics' on the left, such as FAQ, Community, Forum actions, Quick links.
Not me but I'm one of those asshats using adblock.
Can you change the Dev tracker to display individual posts rather than the full thread? Can I change it myself? I want to read the post rather than having to look through an entire thread. Easier to miss out posts this way.
