Yeah, I thought the same thing. I feel confused and alone.

And now the 2008 Acceptances thread is 27 pages long...

I like the new makeover! It will take a bit to get used to, but it looks nice!

I like the search now, but it will definitely take some getting used to...

It looks nice but I like the old format. 27 pages of messages is too long.

Agreed.
There should be a setting for that.

I like that if you click on a users name there are options that say:
"Add friend" and "Add foe"
I can finally keep track of all my enemies!

yeah there are tons of new options in your user profile, too. Grant reset it to 50 posts per page so the acceptance thread isn't 27 pages any more.

I miss having the most recent topics on the main page. I don't like having to look for them.

I agree, that was a big loss in the switch to this format.

just hit the button that says "view new posts" in the upper right corner of your screen and it shows you all the latest posts, even in the lounge! If you bookmark that page you can go there first as if it were the front page and see all the threads that have new posts, even the ones in the lounge.

But it's not the same.
Just homotopic.
