We changed the layout some in CB 2.6.0. Seams you're using custom CSS or maybe a custom CB template. Review your custom CSS and make adjustments where needed. If you're using a template changed by CB Template Changer and its Template Builder feature then please update CB Template Changer and recompile your template to update its CSS.
See my below blog post regarding the styling changes.

If anyone has heavily restyled CB please use a staging site. A staging site is a copy of your live site. Perform updates on your staging site, adjust your styling if needed, then update your live site. It is quite literally impossible for us to take into account your custom styling when we make layout changes to CB.
Use our demo site below for what to expect profiles to look like by default.
demo.cbdemosites.com/profiles/susan
-1- There is are 2 checkboxes visible.
One in the topbar, one in the tab-bar.
How do I disable them?
Your Joomla template is doing that. Those checkboxes are supposed to be hidden and they're already hidden and are used to toggle the More behavior for menus and tab navigation.
-2- There is a message ‘member since’, which results in less space for the info fields.
Is there an option to remove the ‘member since’ message?
Move the "User Status" tab in CB > Tab Management to a not shown on profile position if you don't want that. It shouldn't suddenly redisplay if you had already done this so my guess is you had hid it with custom CSS at some point.
-3- The topbar grey color changed to white.
This might be a custom css issue.
That'd be a custom CSS issue. It has always been a light gray, almost white, color.
-4- Attachment 2
When I click to the activity feed of this person (it is called rapportage on our website)
You can see that the amount of space where the message is added, is truncated.
How do I solve this?
Your Joomla template or custom CSS is doing that. The textarea is having its width limited.
-5- attachment 3
The member userlist overview.
Two questions:
-a- Can we disable the borders around the users?
Yes, use custom CSS to remove the border if you don't want a border. Seams like you were already doing that. Maybe it's your custom CSS that has stopped working? Seams like none of it is being applied anymore.
-b- Users without a profile image are now shown with their initials.
But that image is larger then the ones with the profile pictures.
Is it possible to make them the same size?
The defaults for the Avatar field were changed. If you never saved the avatar field even once then the new defaults will be applied. Edit the Avatar field in CB > Field Management and change the default empty if you don't want it to use the new automated initials based avatars. As for sizing you can size them using CSS.
In the activity feed, the dates changed from date/time format, to 'xx days ago'.
Can we get the date/time format back?
How old was your install? There is no option for displaying dates in CB Activity like that. It has used the "ago" format for a very long time. Only way to change this would be a custom CB Activity template and adjusting the code for date display.
