A number of the recent changes have been annoying.

I’ve been using computers now for over thirty years - If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I hate going to a site that’s changed and then having to spend precious time trying to figure out how to do something that worked all along...
like “search”...

The font changes have been ridiculous.

If as much time had been spent on creating a functional search capability as changing the formats, it would have been something useful.

Instead, we have to adapt.

I open Latest Articles, individual articles, and My Comments in separate tabs for easy refreshing. Now, they all end up with the same size fonts. I liked the old format with large fonts only on the individual articles. They are too big for the Latest Articles and My Comments pages. But, that is what we are stuck with.

I changed my browser font size, IE Options font size, and WinXP desktop font size 6-8 times each since the changes began a couple weeks ago. Every time I would get it just about acceptible, the fonts formats would all change.

At least, the persistent font resizing seems to have ceased. That played havoc with tabbed browsers.
