Nope, I don't like the "new look", either. Frankly, my eyes are getting weaker, and the new listing of topics & replies uses text that is much smaller than it was in the previous layout -- much harder for me to read.

I realize the ever-present pressure to "improve"; but the old setup was simple and it worked well for just browsing. Not so with the "new way".

Why must we have change for change' sake?

The new colored right hand sidebar is not only distracting and makes for difficult reading but makes for longer loading and is a total waste of space.

This is so horrible that i'm taking the FreeRepublic.com bumper stickers off of our vehicles and will discontinue making my $100/quarter donation to FR.

There is no way that I would contribute to crap like this or even acknowledge that i'm associated with it.
