Information about the new forum can be found in their designated sub-forum and more basic information can be found in the "Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ"-thread, which also tells you when it's supposed to be released. It's a sticky in Meta, so if someone really had a question about this, they would have read the sticky first and then posted something if it's not answered by the sticky.
Q: So when is the new forum software coming?
A: Well, according to theymos, some time after February 2015.

Soon has been said for the past 6 months. I seriously won't be surprised if (when) the new forum doesn't come out in early 2015 (as was said to be the release date). When it comes out, I can only imagine all the new problems that will come with it (I seriously hope not but disappointment after disappointment after delay after downtime leads to a cynical way of thinking.)
I heard it was very soon for the last year. I would have thought someone would have given me a poke to test guide formatting if it was ready by now.
