I have found this change to be actually pretty easy
The only thing I have noticed though is it seems like many people who were on the other forum have not made it over here yet. But hopefully that will change.
But there is one good feature that I had not yet noticed... On the bottom of the main page there is a place where it lists members birthdays for the day. I think this is quite cool.
But hopefully it won't lead to posts like "Happy Birthday *insert name here*" . But I highly doubt that the management of the forum would let happen things like that
