Classic Team UI or New UI?

So, since I've logged on with a few of my toons, I seem to keep getting this pop-up message box that says if I would like to use the new UI, click new but if I wanted to use the Classic Team UI to go to the Options Menu and Enable it there. I really prefer the Classic UI. Once I would do so by going to the Options Menu and Enabling it, it would seem the message box will still constantly keep popping up on some mish'es. Am I missing something here when I am Enabling it in the Options Menu to go Classic UI or is this some kind of glitch that still needs some bugs worked out?

I've had that happen as well. It seems to happen on specific characters (speicfically in my case it happens to my Crab Spider a lot) but it's erratic enough that I can't figure out what is causing it.

I filed a bug report on the 'new' UI where the buff icons next to it get humongous at random intervals. No idea why it's doing it but it's extremely distracting when you have buffs that are nearly an inch in diameter covering the middle of your screen. Switched back to Classic, no issues.

Discussed some over in the tech/bug forum

Suspicious_Pkg noted that the buff icons were made a little smaller if the team window is detached from the chat window. Might help until they get it fixed.

I have had the popup come up again as well.

I have not had any issues either.

As for which one I picked... I am still deciding. In the meantime I bound the option to a key:
/bind KEY "optiontoggle UseOldTeamUI"
I can switch back and forth quickly whenever I feel the need, and I'll settle on something eventually. I like the Classic one better overall as well, but because I keep the Team window to the right of the chat window, the new larger Chat window covers it a little, so the new smaller Team window is kinda nice for now too.

The new UI is a little big, but I think I may be getting use to it. Sometimes it's hard to determine who I have selected though...

The main issue Im having is the colour of the GUI is not right on some characters.

Heroes = Blue GUI
Villains = Red GUI
Praetorians = Grey GUI

I only have two villains, one has a red GUI the other has a blue one. I got several Praetorians which also now have a blue GUI...

meh, no idea.
