Did they hide the drafts section or did the style sheet? Can't find it either way!
That would be the the forum itself, not the stylesheet, yep. I'm assuming that section will return shortly. Or not, if there's some sort of master plan behind not having a page where we can delete drafts. (The page actually still exists right now, but there's no way to access it through normal navigation of the forum.)
Hey @Jobastion I was using a Greasemonkey hack you posted awhile ago to restore full timestamps for posts. Have you updated that by any chance?
Hum... just gonna F5 this thread here and... welp, there go the eyes. Thank you @Suriko for the timely update. @ASimPerson Next day off is Thursday, so assuming it's not too difficult, I'll try to update it then.

Not sure if this is a stylesheet or forum problem, but read/unread are harder to tell apart in my bookmarks page. There's no more bar to the left of the thread that indicates 'unread', just bold/not bold.
The minimum height of posts has vanished. This is most obvious when the post itself is very short and the poster has no sig, so that it squashes up to the avatar instead. It's functional, but since the padding above the poster's username is larger than the padding below the Online/Offline bar, it looks a little odd.
I'm trying to enable the reaction avatars again so the functionality of reading who has agreed/awesomed a post is usable, but I'm not sure where would be good to put them... where would be best?

Oh what the FUCK, my god damned EYES. Seriously don't see why we can't have the good ol' shades of blue and orange as the default. Shit, my retina right in the morning.
I've wanted to say this for some time, but people who say things like this are suffering from some kind of debilitating eye disease, or worse - something in the brain unit.
Either you're viewing the forum on a device whose screen is powered by the ACTUAL SUN, or you're exaggerating. If its the former, you're on your own. Use a normal screen, or turn the brightness down a teeny bit from "178 - Furious Optical Rage" to "94 - Pleasing Glow". If its the latter, please stop. You sound like a child.
Titles & location are gone now? It's just not the same.
The old prompts for title and location don't seem to do anything. There's a new prompt that works, but it bleeds outside of the title space right now, so keep your title short.
See, I just gave you back your old title.

I did personally find the original form of the new forum style to be much more difficult to read for long periods of time than the old style (which Ye Olde Style imitates). I wouldn't say it seriously seared my eyes, but I personally didn't find it comfortable to read at all, and I definitely never have my monitor set to seem like I'm staring into the sun (because that would also give me a headache). I think it had something to do with the contrast, or lack thereof, between the different shades of very light blue used in the design, in my case. Now that I check the current forum style with Stylish off for a moment, it looks like the theme is more grey than I remember it being when things first changed over, and it seems much easier on the eyes in general than before, actually. I assume this may have been a change that actually happened (because I remember reading the discussion about 'light blue' from before) and isn't just me being delusional. So maybe nowadays using Ye Olde is now just a preference thing for me, which would be awesome because then we'd have two really good styles available. I'm just personally very glad I have the OPTION of Ye Olde Style because I do prefer it, and I'm similarly glad that you forum admins have been kind enough to sticky it on the forum so it's easy to find for the people who want/need it.

Maybe some of the changes were so gradual I didn't really notice, but the only major change to the color scheme that made a big difference in the overall appearance of the board was how quoted posts are shaded.
The only changes I've made to the default style is that acronyms are decorated (dotted border on the top and bottom) and the reactions (Agree/Awesome/Report/Quote) are always visible.

Thanks, I guess?
Anyway, the only thing I'm noticing is the comments box is running off the box when I'm sending PMs. It's minor and doesn't really bother me but I figured I'd bring attention to it.

It can also be of personal preference - I do not enjoy bright colors and much of my system is tooled to use darker or more muted colors just because I prefer it as such in many things. PA's forum was one of my favorites because, by default, it used a darker color scheme that has since been changed to use a color scheme that you'd see as default on pretty much any other forum out there.
I don't find the brightness enough to cause me great pain in reading the forums, but it is not a scheme I prefer when previously I found the color scheme to be superior and I continue to use it through the use of a third party plugin and Suriko's hard work. Which also fixes a ton of problems I have with the padding and white space usage of the default skin as well as other problems but that's a whole nother can of worms entirely.
I don't recall seeing this question asked/answered before so forgive me if it has, but why does the mobile site use the old color scheme while the regular version uses the blue and white scheme?
I wrote that one, also I added a bit later on to overflow extra-long names, so @skippydumptruck's full name would appear. It appears no longer necessary with the latest Vanilla update, though.

@ASimPerson and @Ubergeek, if you two could, get the page source, find a copy of "<div class="Meta CommentMeta CommentInfo">" (preferably not the first one in a thread, as it looks a bit different) and just copy and paste in a message to me everything between it and the next /div in the source, and I'll see if it's somehow giving you different html than I'm getting on this end. Dunno why it would, but ... eh.
Also, (and I highly doubt this would be the case, but check it anyway, as I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what I "broke" after I uninstalled it and uploaded a new version to see if formatting was an issue) make sure it has a check mark beside it in the Greasemonkey drop down. Using the install option from the page does not enable it by default apparently
oh hey Suriko, I might have missed this and you know about it, but jailed people are not showing up correctly. I don't know if that's fixable and it certainly isn't a big deal, they just aren't getting their additional bars across the icon.

Updated, fixed. Titles now wrap rather than having the overflow hidden.

Huh. Could you screenshot this? I'm not seeing it on my end.

There seems to be a bit of a large offset between the margins of the posts compared to the sigs, which looks a little odd
EDIT: also, another minor thing: if you look at lists of infractions, it alternates blue with white
