Don't you think that earlier package/'style of y/a was more attractiv, suitable and informative .?

The earlier y/a package/style was more attractive, suitable and worthful where as the present package/style is more confusing, un informative. The no of BA is not available on the present package. The questions of followed members won't appear on one place on the profile. Rather there is no profile of the person in suitable manners as was earlier. The answers community must seek these problems and again come back to previous style /package of y/a. What is your opinion in this regard.

Thanks.

    I had the old format, and then last fall, I got the purple format. Then in January, I think, I lost the purple format and got the old one back (green.) I prefer the purple one. I made a list of about 15 or 20 things about the purple format I liked better.

    I think most people don't give themselves a chance to get used to new things. They just assume the new format is confusING because they are confusED. They are confusED because it's new to them. The purple format will not be confusING to people when they get used to it.

    It's got a lot of things that are better. For example, I'm writing an answer, and I can see the other answers. On the old (green) format, when you were writing an answer, all you could see was the question. If people can remember that, they may decide that you like this way better. There are other similar improvements. For example, the questions that are chosen for you to see in this category are exactly to my right. In the other system they were further away. UP, I think.

    Also, "Ask a Question" is more clearly not "Search Answers" You can see the difference very easily. THAT was more confusing. I noticed with this new purple format, they fixed something I didn't like in the old purple format, and that is how you get to your own questions and answers. Now it's under Activities. (or "my activities?")
