Yeah the forums are being spammed upon a lot more since the change.. Our lord and savior @Christopher knows though 
Like the bots don't even bother me at the moment because I'm just like ... lolololdelete.
The forums were being spammed like there was some sort of spam apocalypse before the upgrade and it seemed to carry over. I'm sure this software has better spam fighting options than what we had before, so I'm sure we'll figure it out. Having said that, it takes me like 2 seconds to delete a spam bot, ban their IP, and delete all their posts and threads with like two clicks. I just banned about 4 spam bots and like 8 threads and I think I only blinked once. It would have been a chore before.

There is a lot to learn about Xenforo. Take your meds and be patient.

you'll see the path for the logo. Just upload the new image there and put the proper code for it.
Obviously not the right graphic color, etc., but there it is.

When I finally get my time back from real life work (been working 60 hour weeks for over a month now) then I'll be adding plugins to fight the spam bots, adding in social media logins such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Steam. Then there's plenty of other niceties to come along too. A few style touches to change too including the avatar size as it's way too small.
I should be back to normal in about 16 days time, then I'll be back properly to work on the forums and get it up to snuff.

I'm sorry to hear about your crazy work hours. But at least the biggest part of the forums is over with. Now it's just about tweaks and plugins and such.

I just purged a bunch of banned spam bots and a bunch of spammy IPs. I'm going the be blocking IPs from now on manually as it appears the default banning option only bans usernames. I saw like 5-6 spam bots sharing the same IP address, so the default banning option was actually doing nothing to stop the spam. So as time goes on there will be a LOT less spam happening. Dunno what the status is on the anti-spam feature being implemented.

You probably don't even really need to report spam, unless regular community member traffic picks up, because it's easier to see now with the new forum layout.
And I do wish regular community member traffic would pick up. There aren't many people posting new threads, let alone replying. I don't know how much of it has to do with busy schedules, social media, or maybe they're waiting on Tapatalk to work... but I'm starting to think most people have simply given up on PSU (and I don't want to think that).
I know we rarely retain new members so I think we could look into a possible solution there.

Threads don't need to be reported because that's obvious, but individual posts inside legitimate threads is helpful.
As for forum members, I think they're still planning on implementing social media features and whatnot. No idea what's going on there, though. This place is more active than it was, but it's definitely not significant or anything. Kind of wish I knew what was going on in the pipeline.
