ok. I'll be the fly in the ointment here.

I actually think Mintpal is a good bit better than I was expecting. It feels very fast for a start - don't know if that's just because the traffic's low or it actually is running a faster site.

The only real visual problems are

 - the UI has a bit too much contrast and can do with calming down a bit
 - you can't see all your holdings all at once like the old site. That was quite a nice feature I thought having all your holdings stacked up in 1 little column

The login problems people are complaining about I think are just due to you needing to reset you password. Click the little "I forgot my password" link, you'll get an instant email and you'll be up and running in 1 minute.

Cosmetic stuff can be sorted easily. The real question is what changes have been made to the trading engine. e.g. what new features it has and how responsive it is in a market panic. Those things are a million times harder to design, develop and produce than a nice paint job, so lets wait and see how it turns out. Give the guys a chance - I'm sure they've been sweating buckets the last few days and are desperately trying to deliver something that their customers will like so I think we should hold off from giving them such a kicking for now and see how the new site works.

Looks like people's balances are safe - ok we might need to wait a while to get them moving but it's far from being a "Gox" situation.
