I am blown away by the new design! very beautiful instead. But not as intuitive as before. Took me a good 10 mins to figure out how to post a new post! How are all my friends doing? When did mylot make the transition to the current design?

MyLot changed the design of the site on May 1st this year. At the same time, they ended the earnings program (which is why you can no longer see any mention of earnings accumulated). The design of the interface is clearly modelled on that of sites like Twitter and LinkedIn, though the content and aim of the site is quite different from either, so, if you were familiar with those sites, it ought to be fairly easy to find one's way around. Because the site appeared to be so different, I wrote a simple guide which you may find helpful:
A Quick Users Guide to MyLot. How and why you should use MyLot.

Beside the 'look' of the site and the cessation of the earnings program, the only other major change which was was made was to the Terms (which are now a great deal easier to read) and the Guidelines, which have also been rewritten in plainer language. It is now permitted (within certain limits) to post referral links and to promote your own blogs and websites. Many people have found it a useful way of bringing some traffic to their sites. I suggest that one of the first things you should do is to review both the Terms and the Guidelines to see how the site may be of use to you. They can be found under "Help" next to your username.

Yes there are been some changes a long time ago, almost seems like it is getting close to a year ago and change takes some getting used to. I like the design actually once you can used to it but I miss some of the great discussions that took place. Is this what you meant by intuitive?
