Cheers! The team worked hard on this one. There's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this thing. Everyone focuses on the design because it's the most visible. If you could see what's under the hood to make FO run, you'd probably shit your pants.
Cheers! Shouldn't be long, it's near the top of the frontender's list and he's lightening fast.
I'm sorry you feel that way. As I've said many times before, the code and design of the old site was tied together very closely. The old site still ran on PERL in a lot of important places and since PERL developers are like dinosaurs (extinct), trying to keep everything working with newer modern hardware was a losing battle. Change is hard, it even took time for me to like the new site. Especially since we developed it on non-freeones colors (those were actually added last).
I can only hope that you can take the time in your blaze of outrage and anger to let us know WHAT exactly you don't like outside that it's change.
