Am I missing posts, it seems there are far less posts with this format.
As well, the posts and comments are hard to follow..maybe i'm in an
alternate universe.

Agree ! it is a disaster from beginning to end.....where is 'LIKE....where is 'PM....where is 'DELETE if you want rid of rubbish ? can't read half the faint writing....having to scroll through lots long empty spaces....can't distinguish between posts and replies....etc...etc. WHY did it have to be changed ?????
Maybe it's just me not up to scratch !!!! but we are supposed to be 'Babes, Infants and children....why put human intelect as priority ?

No you are not. Twice today I have experienced missing posts that I was notified of. Suppose they are just teething troubles.....but I also seem to have LOST some of my posts that took me time to write. I am not past blaming myself for lack of Tech-knowledge and maybe just too old and decrepid to keep up !!!!

I have noticed replies to posts, that are no longer in the thread myself! Chalked it up to having been "deleted" by the "ommenisinty" of admins in this new format. :)

As far as being "tech-savvy?" I feel blessed because of my intentional ignorance! :cool:

Call me an old fogey but I miss the simplicity and bluntness of the old format. While I appreciate all the work that has gone into this site I wonder if the extra graphics and such are competing with what people are saying. JMO

I prefer the old format as well as it seemed to be more cozy and the new format seems somewhat sterile. I also miss having the member info on each post with the men in blue and the women in pink along with the country, the age of the member, the number of posts and the rep power. The rep power system is gone and now you have trophies but apparently you can only accumulate 113 and I did the first day of the new format. Seems kind of silly if that is all the trophies you can achieve. It was kind of fun accumulating rep power. Also, the old format recorded the number of visits to your profile page and the new format doesn't do that or allow for a profile picture. No more friends list either. Also, it bothers me that depending on the length of your screen name it may take the form of two garbled lines. Looks silly and unprofessional. I do enjoy the reaction icons though, that was a nice touch. The place just seems cold and impersonal now.
