If that is the new forum, I'd be just as mad as you!
The UI looks crap, and to be honest, it just isn't worth the months and months we've been waiting for a new layout.
Too bad tho, it's not up to us.
A forum isn't just the layout and interface. It's all that goes on behind the scenes as well. I would give more importance to all that working well. Besides, like they said, that layout is just for testing, not the final version yet.

It has been said before. The design is not final, it is a placeholder. Come on guys/gals, read up on the subject before you reply!
