As the saying goes:

I agree, how does somebody know if someone has replied to their post?
It appears as if you have to wade through every reply to every post.

New format sucks.

Well, one positive is my productivity will go up.

Spent no time here this weekend and already got too frustrated this morning to deal with it. i expect my FReeping will go down to once or twice a day.

Gee, once they settled on their final design it took me all of 5 minutes to figure it out. It isn’t all that bad

"Where the heck did the banglist go?"

The banglist is still available at the link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=banglist

If you're referring to the fact that the old search facility is missing, which enabled searched by "keyword" and "poster", yeah, that's a bummer. I used them a lot, and I don't see any replacement anywhere, so that's a major decrease in functionality for me.

Thread number 1007 regarding the new look...how original.

I like it.

JohnRob is laying groundwork for a much better organized forum, with more tools.

If you can’t see that, and you hate it so much, go ahead and go back to DU or Politico.

I, for one, look forward to the progress being made.

I found the search function and I like it. But I have to agree, what happened to the banglist?

[P8riot]

I just put the “banglist” on the top my sidebar so it is always there.

[truthkeeper]

I absolutely hate it too...it is definitely reducing my FReeping time.

PLEASE...can somebody tell me how to search for user posts??

The Banglist is the only reason I come to Free Republic.
