It took me a long time to get used to it, but now it works for me. I think you should make more use of the search feature, and maybe the various forums if you have particular areas of interest. Now those other formats actually confuse me!
I don't like search features on any package out there. While the search feature was a bit confusing in how they implemented it in the home page and sub-page template respectively - it seems more intuitive now. Either that or I've just adapted. lol
Same here. I find the format so popular and prevalent in other online forums simply annoying and unnavigable.
