I think it’s going to be great. It’s not a matter of fixing what isn’t broken, it’s a matter of bringing the website up to date, and making it more user friendly.

Some of us are stuck in our ways and resist change, but once we get use to the new way...it’ll be as easy as it was before, possibly even more so.

You're more optimistic than I am. I don't know about how up to date FR was, but it certainly was more user friendly than it is now. For example, just to search on a FReeper's post now takes three steps, when it used to take one or two. Another click or two may not sound like much, but it all adds up.

From one "FReeper's posts" search you could do another search, and another. Now you have to go back to the "Latest Posts" page to start a new search all over again. It's totally ridiculous.

Also, it would be nice if there were some explanations/simple tutorials as to what's going on, rather than hitting us all at once with these changes.

Enter by:poster name in the search box. One step.

For example, try entering “by:nutmeg” into the search box at the top of the page and hit return (or click on Go).

Well...I’m not one to tell the owner how to run his site. So...if I’m a little inconvenienced while I learn the new system, I guess I’ll get over it.
