I don't want to slam anybody...

But if it takes a few extra IQ points for people to get used to this new site...I'm all for it...

Let's keep the riff-raff out. ;)

Ok, I'm getting it now, I just hope visitors get it. These instructions are going to have to stay up for a long, long, time or vistor's/lurker's will just pass on through.

I'm so relieved, I was begining to wonder if I am getting too old for change and turning into a crudge mudgeon, (snickering). On a serious note, I hope this doesn't mess with Freeper's who have smaller monitors, and slow dial ups, or 56K, will it, do you think?

No offense Tomahawk... but are you saying that finding breaking news is now so complicated that we need detailed directions? I would say that is sufficient evidence that the new format is pretty, not functional. And that is NOT the hallmark of conservativism. What do you do when you visit a web site that is unclear? TWell, that's what others are going to do as well. I love FR. I don't like this.

This site doesn't seem to gel with people vary well. I saw the beta and went back to old site all the time.

I hope this is truly a beta and test. and not permanent. Is there a vote any ware going on for user ratings.

Also the flag on the side isnt tiled very well and causes eye strain.

On small monitors even with titles only listed you can see maybe five or six and the scrolling is a nightmare.

The old fr was a fast efficient a lean mean fighting machine that really didnt need a somewhat fancy design to make it work.

It just worked

Thats why I was there to get news and also it was the fast interaction with the world that I liked.

This way to slow.
