OUTRAGED! at the site modifications!
 
Anyone else completely OUTRAGED at what the admins have done to the site?
Or somewhat ambivalent? Maybe on the fence? I just called my congress critter.

I said, NO! to all the things! Except some things are okay I guess. Not bad.
The one thing is cool.

Then let the owners (not the administrator) know you feelings (good, bad or indifferent) in the proper forum called "Site Feedback"

I'm interested in knowing what sort of critter your Congress critter is. Weasel?

Before you answer, be aware of all the definitions of the word 'congress'

Any special definitions in use in WA that the rest of us might not be up to speed with? :lol:

I have not looked but some sites have user settings as well, prefer it to the old one.

Some easily visible bugs in the experience that proves no one tested site usability before deploying.

Must be something us oldies are more familiar with as a term, definitely not limited to WA. Melania Trump would probably have one or two things to say about her husband's relationship with the term :lol:

Yeah, I was well aware of that one, just wondered if there was anything else out there... ;)

I hate it, everything scrolls slower, it take ages for each thread to load.

Performance does indeed seem to have taken a substantial hit.

I'm on a fast link here and this thread took 8 seconds to load. In doing so it reorganised the page 4 times when it found out the size of newly loaded elements (mostly ads). This wouldn't be so bad if it did it quickly but it's not - you start reading and then 2 seconds later the page changes. You find your place again and it loads another element, so another page adjustment and you lose your place again.

I know you can turn the infinity scrolling off but I'm willing to persevere. However, scrolling to the top of a thread takes multiple attempts which is annoying.

Works fine for me, but then I'm using adblock.

No it wasn't. Lots of nagging got something fixed.

Probably the same thing that happened with Who Quoted Me. Was momentarily forgotten about, then magically reappeared when enough people mentioned it.

This is the only way to go.

Hey All

Just an FYI, I use Chrome as my browser and the site is fine, I just did the Win 10 upgrade and used Edge just to see if it was better (it isn't) the formatting is totally effed up in Edge.

*Edit* Hmmm so I fired up my laptop, which has also had the Win10 upgrade, And the site is fine on Edge, further investigation required!!
