You are a very good mod, and I mean that! I can well imagine it must not be easy for you to be between both groups (users/buyers/vendors and site-developers/owners) so your commitment is much appreciated.

Unfortunately I agree with many here that many "enhancements" are not really steps forward. Of course this is my own, personal opinion.

I love breaking habits, so it's not because it's new that it's bad, and if developers/owners don't react, people will get used to it. No, there are several things that don't make the R. experience more fun or easier. Perhaps it's not all finished yet, but then why not test excalibut in the backroom whilst keeping camelot for the big public? Why is the homepage still on camelot and why does someone's profile here on the forum lead to a page with stats, but without a link to this person's homepage, gallery?

Personally my strongest dislike is against those personal data they want you to enter. Who knows what they would do with that in those stats (and don't tell me they won't use it as it's not a choice but an imposed "thou shalt").

etc etc...

if my recent views aren't public, than that's one step in the right direction.  If now the homepage link would not lead to the public wishlist (I think I'll delete all items), if the profile link per thread here would lead to some info on that person and with a link to her/his gallery) R would be heading in the right direction.

 

whatever: when I write "you" it's R. I'm adressing, except when it's clear that it's not general but personal.

It would be a difficult decision to have to go somewhere else, but the pile with arguements to do so increases.
