It's going to take some time to get used to the new format. Right now my major beef is, it's not very - DENSE. As in, needlessly wide margins here and there, and posts are comparatively huge so that I can see very little at once on a laptop.
It does have a lot of features going for it - for one, the ads don't flop over onto the posts such that they compress or distort the post. Ignore really IS ignore so that not only do I not see irritating posters I've put on ignore, I'm not tempted to respond to their posts. It's my HOPE - however vain - that it may encourage or pressure people who like to be willfully annoying will clean up their act, because no one will be talking to them. I think that for some, that will not be possible, since that is how they choose to make their presence felt. But there are plenty of people here with opinions I don't agree with, who know how to disagree without being disagreeable.
I already have someone following my posts - I found that pretty damned cool.
