1. Can no longer use Firefox here, my default browser, since with NoScript, which I use, the number of scripts needing to be allowed in order to login now is just silly. This time, I took a chance and kept allowing or temporarily allowing all, which I don't like to do unless I've first checked out each one of them--just too many of them to do that properly. Besides that, have to pause Ghostery blocking, thereby allowing in several trackers (WTF is DoubleClick, one of the worst, doing here?). Have to use Safari instead, without any script filtering, which I'm not very happy with.
2. Looks like not all the data has been migrated across from the old format. E.g. not seeing any of my posts in the 9.4.0 thread, where there's a big hole between 8/8 and 8/16.
3. The new format is not very intuitive. The old one was far easier to navigate in and post.
4. If needing to subscribe to post to a group is now necessary, that is a big PITA.
5. The "Related Content" popup is very annoying.
6. My overall assessment: not very good. The old format was much more user friendly. Will see how this plays out, but don't think I'll be here all that often anymore.

Some good news: might encounter some other issues in the future, but at least for now looks like I can login and post from Firefox running NoScript after all. Don't need to allow anything in Ghostery, can leave Adblock Plus enabled, and only need to allow the main domain, community.sophos.com, in NoScript.
Already said that no posts to the 9.4 beta thread between 8/8 and 8/16 are showing up. I posted several times there during that interval with replies from bobcook, so it couldn't have been read only.
I am seeing that there has been a post from bobcook, dated today 8/20 to that 9.4 thread, but its content doesn't show up--just that there was a post.
Posted to that thread today, which I can see in my activity (and in bobcook's activity as well--just that there was post, but no content0--neither post is actually displaying.
