what's the politically correct way to phrase it? change in management, at shall we say another local advertising and review resource?

For me, it was great while it lasted, but all good things must come to and end. Bummer for the ladies though, that was probably a great advertising medium for them for this market, I would have thought.

I am not a fan of the new changes, makes it much more difficult to do research on a lady

I'm buying my time but this week has been the slowest I've seen in a long time. I've heard the same from other Ladies.  
They are trying to improve some updates this weekend so I'm hoping it will be better come Monday.  

....twiddling thumbs....

After a VERY rough and frankly misleading start (the notifications for days preceding the change were for system maintenance), the new product seems to be coming along just fine.  Given the alternatives, which were slim and none, I think whoever (or whomever) is/are behind the change seem polite, eager and highly responsive to the inevitable ton of backseat drivers. malcontents, folks who just plain want it to be 1999 again and the genuinely helpful others. At this point, I'm pleased with the progress.
