Am I the only one?
 

I hate, loathe and despise the changes they have made to the forums. They are basically unreadble (for me anyway) now. I really hope they change it back to the way it was.

It shows up differently. Additionally, the Search functionality is displaying some quirks

Oh, I didn't notice any differences with the way mine looked, that's all.

The changes are brutal. I find myself directed to replies before the original post.

This is what I like the least. It takes you to the last reply I think which is just stupid. If thats what I wanted that's what I would click on.

It's horrible. I find it so frustrating that I'm deterred from visiting as much. The reverse-date-ranked threading is particularly annoying.

I just don't get it. Nothing significant has changed for me. Is it because I use flat mode? Cause I have no idea what anyone's talking about...

Re: Am I the only one?
 

The search function is now incredibly screwy.

I had set up links to the lists of posts by posters I like (essentially creating a shortcut to "Search for all posts by this user"). Now it doesn't work. And the Back and Forward buttons have issues as well.

The revision is a significant downgrade.

In flat mode things seem fine. But not in flat mode it sucks enormously. I often use flat mode but when revisiting (especially a big/long thread) I typically don't use flat mode. It takes you to the last post which is often what I don't want and after clicking on one response it shows all other unread responses as read.

It makes browsing the forums much less enjoyable for me and I find myself visiting much less now.

I urge anyone else who dislikes the new setup to PM or email the board guru to register your distaste. I have and I see on other forums most of the feedback on the recent changes has been negative. If we let them know it sucks maybe they will unbreak it.
