Change for changes sake...not good. Changes made involve more difficulty to navigate than older model. Don’t fix what ain’t broken.
Too many detours to get where I want to go.
You may think it wasn't broken but this forum was not easily navigable. You just developed muscle memory on where everything is.
Just like you will when you grow used to where everything is now.
Personally, this place needs a revamp design wise like no other web site out there.
I work exclusively in the on-line industry and have seen my share of well put together designs and cohesive websites and FR doesn't sniff that description. I have discussed with John Robinson at length about it and he feels handcuffed because of the vocal minority refusing to accept even convenience changes
