Easy to find and read. If a thread I was not interested in was fl;agged and I ignored it next time it got buried.
Another issue is speed. Currently I'm using work's fantastic broadband and the response is very slow - due I suspect to the fancy artwork. If this is the norm I probably won't be able to use it at homne on my dial up.

I haven't noticed a reduction in speed - and really, images can be made really small so usually a site's artwork doesn't hamper the loading time of pages. Sometimes imbedded images will, and there may be a feature to turn these off - if you are on dial-up at home, you may be able to choose to have the forum set to show no images.
*edited to add*
Like other vBulletin forums I've been to, there is an option in your account settings to turn off visible elements, like avatars and image tags. That may boost your d/l time if you find there's an issue with dial-up or you just don't like the visible elements.
