New format, dislike.....

I like it, as the old format was like using Windows 3.0.

But its a bit too "vertical". With wide aspect screens and monitors, why don't they spread the text out horizontally more? Then there is less scrolling to see responses. And I hope this format is not designed to place a myriad of "dancing bears" automated adds in the margins. Those drive me nuts.

Well, call me a complainer, but there are still duplicate threads in
"New Discussions in the past 48 hours" and "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours." It takes up real estate which can be used for older threads.

IMO, "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours" is a poor concept. There should be a section for threads that are OLDER than 48 hours as there was in the old format. Yes, this section contains older threads, but it also gets filled with current threads (as I write this at 3AM there are many).

It wouldn't be too difficult to look at the old format and copy that.
OK, I'm done.

I absolutely hate the screen. The white is giving me eyestrain. Others won't be far behind. We're all human.
I would love to know the rational for the change; usually change is made to save money. This white screen is dreadful. I hope everyone can agree on this one thing...

I hate complaining,but what option is there?;; other than cut way back on activity

In 15 minutes my eyes have had enough. Goodnight friends.
