Is this site now to be so dictatorial that one is not allowed to express an opinion unless it praises the great and good and to only have a scowl on their face and strictly no jokes or smiles? And if one varies from this they will be personally attacked in a nasty way. Of course I do not put my r... View More

My perspective on Colinmacs points: 1. This is only the case if one doesn't bother to change this under one's profile settings. Besides, it's best practice from a security perspective not to post real data anyway. As for cloning one's identity from this site, that's just a tad OTT! 2. You're not ser...

Besides, it's best practice from a security perspective not to post real data anyway. As for cloning one's identity from this site, that's just a tad OTT! 2. You're not seriously suggesting that the new site layout has something to do with the quality of images being posted, are you? That's possibly the best joke you've posted to date

Seriously though, the quality of a significant number of images has always been rubbish and no new site layout is going to change that. 3. That's a bit rich, coming from someone that has used folio32 to post silly jokes rather than good photography! I think that as a percentage of the overall number of images posted here on a day to day basis, the number of images posted by "our regular good photographers" remains about the same. Bear in mind that it's very easy to post quantity, but posting quality is an altogether different proposition. Quality comes at a premium and people that produce quality work do not churn out huge volumes. 3. (Yes, indeed, there are two items there marked as no. 3!!!) I think you're confusing layout with functionality. Knowing whose birthday it is or who has become friends with whom is a function and has nothing at all to do with the layout. If you don't want to know who's doing what, you could just ignore it, just as I was forced to do with when the blogs were filled with silly jokes in the past. 4. I haven't experience any speed or performance issues with the site since the new format went live. If anything it's more reliable. 5. This was a site where someone could post silly jokes on a random basis and now it has become an excellent networking site. On a more serious note, if you really feel the site is "rubbish" you could just leave - I can't imagine anyone is forcing you to remain a member of a site that you consider rubbish. Now, will people please stop talking the new site down. The site has changed, for better or for worse (for better, in my opinion) - quit moaning and get used to it because it sure as hell ain't going to go back to the way it was. There are doubtless many bugs still to be ironed out and if you come across something that's not working as you expect it to, then ask for advice or report it to the relevant personnel. - Thorsten.
