Thank you for posting that! TER looks so much better in the old format! Now I'll just have to hope that they don't disable the backdoor.

My apologies to those who got excited when I posted that I would no longer be posting on the discussion boards. It appears that as long as the backdoor remains functional, you will have to continue to put up with me. Sorry if you started your ticker tape parade already.

To the staff at TER, its ok to admit the new format is a lemon. Two words: New Coke. If the feedback of the past few days doesn't convince you that the old format is a gajillion times better than the new, I don't know what will. Coke listened to consumers, brought back the old recipe, and actually wound up stronger for it.

In business, when the customers don't like the product you're f'ed.

Whether they think they have good reasons or not for this change, the customers are speaking, no screaming, their dislike for the new format.  You'd have to be tone-deaf not to hear it.  But then, all these same comments came out during the first beta-test and TER management apparently ignored every one of them because the final site looks exactly the same as the beta.

Ignoring the voice of the customer is never a good long-term strategy if you want to stay in business.  And I don't think there will be any "bail out" money for an escort site.
