I've been trying to make an effort to find my way, but it's frustrating. I find myself skimming over thread topics and not even reading the contents of most of them. The colours are hard on my eyes, the font is too small, I don't know CSS coding in order to recify the appearance. The search function is the screwiest I've ever seen in all the time I've been posting in forums. What should have been a smooth transition over has been turned into a colossal nightmare. I don't mind being a beta tester, but I like it to be voluntary on my part and not pushed at me like the MP change and now this. They could have set it up on a separate server and had some people check it out for features...necessary features. It seems like it was rushed just to get it done, and now we are all suffering because of it. Many of us are grumpy and unhappy, and I'm sure the mods and admins are sick of our whining and nagging. But that's what happens when you steamroll in a gross change like this. As for leaving the forum? I have left others and I will leave this one too if necessary. However, I do see the admins making a good effort to make things right and usable, so currently I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. My posts are down, as is my reading of threads though. Unless things are fixed, especially the search function and forum appearance, I will move on.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
