This is awful!

No, this is awful!
I don't know where anything is anymore!
Where are the sidebars?
I used to go straight to them
to find out
what was going on.

man this is terrible. Not everyone has all day to sit around and read each thread. The reason I visited FR, was to see the different articles in the breaking news section. Most of the threads on FR I have no interest in, it will be impossible to try to stay on top of breaking news on this site... very disapointing, a lot like New Coke.

Damn the Robinsons to hell for not sending you a proactive bundle of threads and tidbits tailored only to your exquisite tastes. Man, you must be exhausted plowing through discussion after discussion after discussion until you finally find that 'NSync thread.

JimRob wanted to be the first to tell you ... but there's no use in hiding the truth anymore. Brittany and that dancing/singing guy broke up. Jim was devestated for you jern, but I said, "look, the guy just found out about New Coke's demise, we've got until 2014 to break this news to him."

Please differentiate between number of articles/post TITLES shown per page, and number of POSTS shown per page of thread. I like to see a small number of article/post titles (50 or so), but when I enter a thread, I want to see more of the posts (250). The new arrangement has one preference setting that defines both of these as the same number.

Sigh...I do appreciate all the work that has gone into this, but I'm a trog. I liked the older format better. And more caffeine is definitely required.

Doesn't the company that designed this thing have beta testers?

[OldPossum]

Add me to the chorus. Sometimes folks think that changes are improvements. Here's proof that it ain't necessarily so. Please bring back the old format!

To get back your sidebars, click on "Topics" in the upper RH corner, select the topic that you want like Breaking News, go over to the left side of the screen right under the "Flag" and click subscribe....Try it, you'll like it!

I tried it. I don't like it. I want the side bar at the top, not that "question". I also want more than five posts listed. Is there a way to change that?

[spitz]

Change is GOOD. Say after me - CHANGE IS GOOD. Say it again . . . and again . .

[Diago]

It's an early April Fool's joke, Right?

Let's hope so!

[BubbaJunebug]

In this case change is not good...this sucks

[mewzilla]

Yippee, I now have some stuff in the sidebars :)

But now my brain hurts :(

[Drew68]

Now that I've voiced my opinion, I'm really enjoying this thread.

It's great fun to watch people wake up, log on, and freak out.

[ArneFufkin]

why the change?! i want old format NOW

Of course you do. We have a lovely menu of Gerber products planned for your breakfast.

Dittos to your dittos.

Dangit, when something ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!!

[pepperhead]

I don't know, how bout I say I don't want to waste my whole day looking for stories that interest me like you.

You know this is a CONSERVATIVE web site.

We DO NOT LIKE RADICAL CHANGES.

Ask the American Spectator what happens when you radically change a conservative forum.

This is an April fools joke, right?

[pepperhead]

How did you do it? I don't see any subcribe links anywhere on the topics page.

[tutstar]

bump

I'll need an extra cup of java this a.m., what a shock, don't like it either.

[LS]

Ditto. I like the old format. I can't find anything here.

At the risk of starting a flame war, I wanted to tell you that what you've done here is fantastic! I've taken the time to browse through all the links and pages, and it's beautiful. Love the new sidebar option!! Thank you.
