Excuse me, I did throw a few bucks into the kitty...and this is what happens?

There are several important UI principles violated with the latest round of changes, making FR slightly harder to use. The invested experience of the people who use FR has been discounted, which is disconcerting to many. I don't think FR mgt really appreciates this. Telling your users to "suck up and bear with it" is offensive to the relationship.

When I see purportedly "experienced" people do this sort of manuever "In Real Life" I give them a big downcheck, no matter what goes right. It's noxious.

Well said!

AND I was thinking that they wouldn't have done all of this just prior to a FR fund raising....

I bet the donations would've been way down if they did.

IF people weren't complaining and supporting this site with generous TIME and DONATIONS - why did they change it all???

Why donate money if they are going to play around with it like this? We donated money because we loved the way things were. I am canceling my monthly donation, because, like the Democrats in Congress, FR is finding absolutely gratuitous ways to spend it.
