Anyone else seriously considering leaving?

A couple of comments regarding the above quotes. @Dinsale1 (addressing your actual posted name – hopefully get “Dinsdale” back soon) you are only wrong in the first part, in that as our admin @AdminModTubaDiva herself and others have said above, we DO care that you stay, are you are a valued long-time poster. Please have patience and hang around. Things will only get better as the site itself with its many bugs gets fixed and strange settings straightened out, and as you become more familiar with its functionality and its quirks.

There may be some who are appreciating some of the site’s features, but I think anyone who says they prefer the new site as it is right now is very much in the minority, and I haven’t seen anyone at all claim that it’s “simple”, except for the very basic function of making a post. And I hope no one is trying to imply that you’re “stupid”, which would be a ridiculous implication. I know (and have known) brilliant academic researchers, some quite famous, who constantly struggle with their personal computers. I bet that Einstein, were he alive today and writing an academic paper, would have some choice words to say about Microsoft Word unsuitable for the ears of small children, and even more about Windows 10! :grin: The site’s user interface is in many ways distinctly counterintuitive and in many ways needless complex, and in other ways just badly designed, or at the very least, designed with social media paradigms in mind instead of the SDMB culture.
