Since we are complaining, I also hate the new format. In the old days I could click on a thread and pick up where I left off, and the forum would tell me how many new posts there were on each thread etc. Maybe the new format will too, but I dont have my NASA degree yet, the old one was just so simple to navigate. With the new format the actual text of a thread is confined to about half my screen while the other half is made up of advertisments and avatars, its just hard to look at IMO. The site also seems unreasonably slow to load compared to other sites, even threads w/o pictures, and I wont even log in unless I can get on high-speed.
Much like the last election, I dont like the results of "change"...
