I understand " change is good"--- the old format is 5 years old, so a new look was inevitable. Nothing wrong with the new graphics--actually,in my opinion, the new design looks quite good. However, there ARE two problems,on the discussion boards, with the new format :

1. Bring back the "view all" icon for the various threads. With the new format,if you want to read the entire thread,you have to click on each post seperately. I'm sure many will agree with me that this change of format is unwelcome & a cumbersome pain in the ass.

2. The new chronology on the boards is all wrong.
Have the most recent OP listed first, NOT the most recent post to a less recent OP. Again, I'm sure many will agree with me that this change is unwelcome & too damned confusing.

In my opinion, if you get these two glitches out,
I think the new format, in time, will work out fine.

Small type, don't run on a Droid, slow load time, Firefox issues and other problems will still make it suck.

1) I don't need all these colors in different format.
2) I'd like less space between posting lines and a little larger text..and CHANGE THE FONT!
3) I don't like the little picture icons--I don't need them.
4) WTF is up with all that white space on the right side of the screen?  It causes the entire page to appear left-centered, throwing off the page.  Put the twitter, etc stuff on the LEFT side of the screen.
5) You'd think that when the home page comes up, being in a country where reading is done from left to right, you'd want the "Accept" to be your left button, not right button.
6)  The "back to forum" button really should be more to the left, not to the right.  
7)  Not enjoying all the extra mouse clicks.

place the cursor over each review and open in a new tab - it was great to be able to open 10 tabs and rapidly read all the reviews; now you have to click each one, than back click, then click the next, take more time (and with a slow internet connection its a real pain).

As far as the dicusssion boards go, I would like to see:

The option to view each thread in what used to be called the "Detail View."  Where you can see the entire thread and the responses in nested fashion below it.  I know it shows up this way once you have clicked on the original post, I just got used to scanning the sub-threads that I was particularly interested in.

Would like to have the option to set the thread sort order either by date/time of most recent post or by the date/time of the original post (as it used to be).  In the new format, I tend to have difficulty finding the threads I was most interested in.  Then again, I have a spacial-oriented memory versus textual.

I will eventual get used to the new format, but wish for a little more flexibility if possible.

I could not agree more. Pls. bring back the "view all" capability!
