[Another Comment from Telltale Staff]
The majority of changes that we've made have been back-end; we completely overhauled the way that we create and deliver content. Additionally as most of you have noticed, most of the site got a complete face lift as well. The full visual improvement we want to make to the Community hasn't happened yet, but I assure all of you that it will be soon. And it will not be entirely white. 
The biggest reason for all of this work is to allow us the ability to make consistent improvements throughout all areas of the site; community, company, jobs, game pages, news, PR posts, etc. We needed the ability to iterate and change and add content quickly, which just wasn't possible in the past.
All of that essentially states that "We did a whole bunch of stuff that you guys can't actually see." I know that can be frustrating, so the best I can say is please be patient, work with our dedicated mods for communication, feedback and suggestions, and watch as we continue to make improvements and add features and functionality to your home here.
Can't give specifics of course, but the fans in our community are VERY important to us and we want to grow the connection we have between Telltale and you. For example, we've started pulling popular threads from the forums onto the games pages themselves, to highlight the contributions that you are all making.
I may reply fairly infrequently, but I assure you all that I'm here, reading and working with our web devs and moderators.

Hey all! Tamir from Telltale here!
We're getting a TON of feedback right now. You guys are hitting the site and exploring it, and giving us issues and suggestions and improvements; I absolutely appreciate it! I've been making a list of the top priority bugs, and other features/improvements we want to make in the coming days.
Currently, we want to make sure that functionality works across all platforms, and that people can edit their posts. After that the plan is to fix notifications, and to then go down the list of the other suggestions given out. Old games will also be added back soon; making sure we have all the content for each of these titles is in progress.
I promise that we're here, listening, and we want this site to be a welcome place for everyone to enjoy. Our engineers are diligently coding away, fixing and improving this new site as we speak.
Please continue to share your thoughts! I'll be monitoring the thread, and updating our lists and priorities based on what I see. Just keep it respectful, ya know?
Things to note:
Formatting is now a little different; you no longer have to press enter or space twice for a new line. Instead, posts will look just like they do when you type them in.
YouTube videos are now displayed just by typing the URL directly; you don't need to use the link tool anymore.
New posts are now displayed in your local timezone, but old posts will not reflect this.

Seriously though I had problems logging back in.

I'll just pop up and mention that I still can't unfollow a thread that got closed and hidden two years ago.
So, I guess this is the new look for the forums and site! It looks pretty nice, but kinda empty. Kinda curious to see everyone's opinion on the new look!
Well time to adapt and get used to something new again...
Although I hate changes, I know I will love the new look eventually.
For a second I honestly thought that the site failed to load or something.
We have our choices in our profiles now. Neat!
I thought forum got bugged
... feels like it could use bit of color, or background images
At first I had thought that the page wan't loading properly after seeing everything so white, took me a few moments to realize what was happening.
I like the look so far, so it's not a huge problem for me.
2 times bugged login, font seems easier to read, maybe it is just my imagination but perhaps it is larger?
Still, I feel there is too much white, it lacks color, or some background images.
I also miss the thumbs up symbol, and what is this "Edit (1 hour)" thing??? Are we now restricted in editing comments after a hour? this would be a serious problem for forum games (writing, fixing, adding character or world info in first comments)
Not good if true, not good at all.
I'm having trouble typing comments - kept saying invalid for agessss
OMG EMOJIS WTF
Huh. I hope people don't spam those...
I just tested it in my own game thread I recently started up
https://telltale.com/community/discussion/comment/2542704#Comment_2542704
I am unable to edit my own comments, the games will be in chaos or end due to the time limit restriction
Earlier I was able to name/tag the spoilers how I wanted, now they all specification on them are deleted and look the same. I want this fixed. I assume InGen you want it too, considering you also follow the Forum of Thrones game at least.
It feels...odd.
I had to look for this, why no more notifications?
So I guess we can see choices on our profiles now, although for some reason the only ones showing up for me is Minecraft.
Also, I have no idea why this happened, but now it says I joined August 1st 2014 although I joined the 18th. Ight.
(Logs into new site for the first time)
"Wait, what the fuck??"
People are replying to me but I get nothing now... not even people commenting on my created threads. How am I suppose to find if someone wantee to ask me something etc. and vise versa
The white background hurts my eyes haha. I'm not used to this. But I'm sure I'll start liking the changes once I do adjust.
It's too bright! My eyes! It hurts!
But +1 for smileys.
I'm pretty sure that date is when your account was first made, but not yet vertified.
Mine is on November 5, 2014 now. I verified on the 7th.
I can secretly judge and analyze people and assume what kind of person they are based on their choices! [insert evil laugh here]
I prefer darkness like Batman.
This design is portable-device friendly!
Right? MUAHAHAHAAH best feature ever.
Oh I didn't even know smileys were a thing on here now! That's so awesome
!!
I heard the Edit thing is not supposed to be there, and should be fixed.
Shite !
Don't fix what is not broken.
You done f**cked up now!
We have been told that his is being fixed asap.
That should be removed in the future. That was a *super* early feature when the new site launched in 2013 that accidentally reemerged for this update I guess.
Please also fix the Spoiler tag naming make it renamable again as it was earlier under 'Other'
my suggestion is to place a limit of 3 on a single comment for those
I wouldn't exactly call the white colour friendly. The design just looks rather cold and empty to me. I hope they will eventually either give the site some darkness back or they give us the option to switch to black colors like in Tv Tropes where you can switch to Night version. I always turn that on because it is easier on the eyes.
Just a heads up, some but not all of the issues are just probably errors and bugs that need ironing out from the initial site transition. In some cases, it's probably for the better to just wait it out. (This includes the brief log in issues which are now fixed.)
That being said, still feel free to report any issues you guys find so we can forward them to Telltale's web dev team.
Ew its so...bland
[removed]
Anything about the lack of notifications when someone replies? Is that intentional or will it be fixed?
Okay, whew
Please also re-enable renaming of spoilers tags, like earlier under 'Other'
if you can see I just began to set up a game (as per link), the spoilers were all named differently so readers could clearly understand what those are, what lies below, now they are all the same
And if we have a new look anyway, consider doubling size of avatars. Thanks
