This new format is much easier to use. I really like it.

[Maedhros]

I don't like it. Here are some other people who agree with me:

Thread 1

Thread 2

[JennysCool]

I'm tending toward the "like it" set, too. Took some getting used to in the wee hours this morning (dozed off with the old FR, awakened, hit refresh, and found the new!), but now I'm quite pleased with it. Most of the comments I've read regard the need to set up the sidebars, but that's pretty easy to do. JohnRob, it's a job well-done, and JimRob, thanks for everything, as always!

I do NOT like it because threads presented vertically take up too much vertical space. I can only see three threads with new format, whereas on old format, several thread headlines were on screen at same time, which made surfing speedier.

This new format is asking to much of me.

[Araminta Vavasour]

You said you like the new format. I agree with you. I think it is a masterpiece.

[LurkedLongEnough]

I agree davetex. The new format rocks.

Those who can't use it should spend a little time to "read the manual", i.e., follow the online directions. It's really not that hard...?

[Roger_W_Isom]

I've notice the new format as well!!! NEAT

[mdittmar]

I like it, a few tweaks here and there,but I like it.

Thanks to the Robinsons.

Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.

So i take it Free Republic was down for a while????

[gorush]

So far I like the new format...as long as we keep the locales or at least have a way for state chapters to easily communicate so as to fight the state and local battles efficiently. Well done guys!

I simply created links on my browser's toolbar to all the forums I wish to view, and the only forums I "subscribe" to and have shown on the FR sidebar are News/Current Events and Breaking News.........

It works rather well............

[Concerto in D]

I agree; I was scared to death of using it at first, but it's working out well.

The only suggestion I would have is the following: On the MY LOCALE page, there is a thingee that lets you delete something really stupid that you posted without thinking (me, not you). I would like to have that thingee on regular postings so not everyone can see when I've typed something without my brain in gear.

[EggsAckley]

It looks as if you and the other twenty-six people who like this format
will soon have the whole site to yourselves. I, personally, am close to giving up on it.
Makes me sad; I'm a huge FR fan.

It is egregiously MORE difficult to use. It is a billion times slower loading, it hurts the eyes, the color of the graphics makes it almost unreadable, the font size is too small, it is incompatable with WebTV, the ridiculous side bars eat up most of the screen space, the self search function is no loger user friendly the top of the forun page, is halved, on WebTV, so that it is unreadable, it wastes my time, gives me a migraine, and it looks like garbage.
