That's it, I'm done. The downgraded look of the site really turned me off, so much so that I haven't logged in since this thread was first started (my longest period of inactivity since joining POTN nine years ago). Now, having just logged in, the first thing I saw was that the title of this thread has been changed, BY PEKKA, without my authorization. If we can't speak our minds, this forum has about as much validity as FOX News. Goodbye, POTN, it was great knowing you...

Is it really worth getting that worked up over?

The fox news comment is quite odd, considering the amount of slant found on other news feeds, sometimes so glaringly obvious as to be obnoxious.

So it appears you haven't even taken any time at all to learn your way around the site, but will complain when the owner of the site slightly change the title due to the replies and feedback in this thread. You probably didn't take the time to read those either? The title matches where the thread went and not where you tried to take before you deserted your own post, 3 weeks ago.

At least try to read thru your own thread to see where it ended up going.

Pekka has already said that is one of the changes coming.

And, what's all that clicking about? :rolleyes:

Fine. I looked at http://photomatte.smug​mug.com/About-Me (external link) to see what is your favourite look, now I understand what you are talking about. Or .. actually, not.

I'm sorry you'll miss all the changes that are coming very soon to site appearance, usability, navigation and features.

so much so that I haven't logged in since this thread was first started (my longest period of inactivity since joining POTN nine years ago).

I changed the title to reflect the direction of this thread from bashing to civil discussion, as it became so while you were away.

I'm sure it was a typo, he meant 7.

I won't nearly go as far to say I'm gone or anything like that, but I used to visit here like clockwork pretty much every day... and I've found that I'm not doing it anymore. Sum it up to say, that I have found my visits to POTN have certainly been reduced.

You've certainly cleared all questions about your intelligence, with your final post.

I suspect it was deliberate exaggeration, a time-honored technique in creating humor but also used in the present context.

So, apparently you missed the opening song, "You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog"? No more encores.

Sounds like me. I will not get into my issues here but being told that all my problems are on my end and have nothing to do with the new POTN is a little frustrating considering that I have used 5 different machines/devices on 3 different networks using 2 different ISP's, all with the same result and the only common thing is POTN. I have no issues with any other site and have only started seeing these issues on POTN since the change.
