... TER classic here, instead of the new site?

I guess it would be very difficult to get an accurate number since majority of those who choose to participate on this thread might be TER-classic users.  

When is it going to go away, anyone know?

so I have seen TER UI change couple of times before this. I use the NEW TER. It has lot of benefits over the OLD TER. Better layout, better graphics etc.

It's disorienting when I click on an URL and it turns out to be classic.

I'm in many other forums and message boards.  Whenever there's an upgrade, people get their panties in a knot. Most people are afraid of progress.

TER should just get rid of classic and let them adjust.

But TER seemed responsive to user concerns and made some fixes.  So I'm pretty happy with the new design.

I work in the software industry and no, I repeat no, software release goes without glitches no matter how much QA/QC you do.  Expecting a smooth transition from OLD system to a NEW one just shows lack of understanding on part of consumers. I applaud TER for fixing the glitches.
