New Geno 2 site seems to be working o.k., but I couldn't find the Our Story thing in the new version. Maybe yet to be reworked. I know that before, some of the people who had stories under my terminal SNP didn't really belong there. They had terminal SNPs that were not on the same line as mine. I hope they will get that sorted out.

It's there, but difficult to find. After you log in and click on Check Results, you should see the Dashboard. Near the bottom, on the right, you should see a heading "Our Story" and a hyperlink labeled "Contribute Your Story >". Click on that, and the bottom right of the next page should have a button labeled "Read Stories >".
It doesn't work when accessing from either Linux or iOS no matter what browser used. Loading takes for ever for available results and the page is misformated for pending results. It works fine when accessing from Windows.
I see they retained the Heatmap section, and it looks the same to me, compared with the previous version of the website.
What I'm not seeing is what used to be the "Profile" tab, in the top menu of old (see attachment, if I've uploaded it correctly). Within that, the section under the "Expert Options" tab said
Several features throughout the Genographic Project are labelled "Expert Options" This is detailed information available for users with more advanced understanding of genetic data. Check back regularly as we add more options and features!
Adding more options & features never seemed to happen.
That's also where you used to go, in the Profile > Expert Options tab, to download your data. Their FAQ still says that's where it is, so I wonder if a download is indeed still available anywhere in the new website layout. I couldn't seem to find it.
The Transfer Data to Family DNA link, that used to be in the same area, is now featured more prominently in the Dashboard.
Here's my changes to my previous reply, which I took too long to type. Not sure how to "contact an administrator" to fix the first one, so just adding it here:
I see they retained the Heatmap section ("Explore Your Results" link under "Your Deep Ancestry" in Dashboard), and it looks the same to me, compared with the previous version of the website. And I'm glad they made a printable version of the results, finally.

That's also where you used to go, in the Profile > Expert Options tab, to download your data. Their FAQ still says that's where it is, but I just finally found it: go to the very top right, and click on the small white icon (a head & shoulders?). There is a link in the resulting drop menu to "My Profile," where you can agree to the terms and then download your file. You can also contribute your results to science in another tab in My Profile. No options as in the old layout for "Account Settings," or the previously not available tabs for "About Me," "About My Family," or "About My Ethnicity."
The "Transfer Data to Family Tree DNA" link, that used to be in the same area, is now featured more prominently in the Dashboard sidebar.
So I guess it covers most of what it had before, just hard to find, as lgmayka said. Seems like some of these site "improvements" actually work against usability.

Click the little person icon next to your username at the top right, and you'll get a menu with My Profile as one of the options. Here's also the direct URL to My Profile:
One neat thing about the new website is that if you took both the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests in Geno1.0 (or transferred both of these from FTDNA), you can now link both to your Geno2.0 account -- the option is available at the top of the MyProfile page.
Previously, you could only link one Geno1.0 result to your Geno2.0 account, so it had to be either Y-DNA or mtDNA, not both.
Of course, this only applies to male testers, since women don't have their own Y-DNA results anyway
