    People don't like change but changes will always happen and we need to accept it in most cases.  I have used this format for the last three days on my laptop and have had no problems.   I just have to click about and see what some things do.  Like the comment.  A person who has me blocked showed a box.  So   I tested it and wrote some comments and clicked on submit then this pinwheel just kept turning and turning but would not post.  So I now know how that works.  Just play around with it and you will get used to it.  Someday you will say the same thing about another change.

    As it is with practically any and all of the changes Yahoo! makes to this site, this one was for the worse. I mean, if you're going to change something, you might as well change it for the better. But nearly all of the differences between this version and the last one have made it more difficult to use. And the mobile version is just awful - they had to amend the program because people weren't provided with an option to see their own profile. Who would engineer a program where you can't see your own information? It's just ridiculous. From what I can tell, the only good change is that they've increased the amount of text that can go into an answer. Not that it's a good thing in all cases, but sometimes it's nice to be able to add another paragraph rather than to fill up half a dozen comment boxes. Still, it just seems like it's change for the sake of change, there's no rhyme or reason to it. Eventually people will get used to it like they have with the other changes made - a minimum of 15 characters per answer, no more question moving, etc., but I really hate the alerts that pop up asking me if I wish to leave the page after I've clicked "Submit", it happens every time.

    I absolutely detested it,  because I was still using Internet Explorer. 

    When I switched to Google Chrome.   WOW!!!!!!! I couldn't believe the difference and how much faster and better it works now.  This is GREAT! 

    Still a few annoying flaws......but overall.......yeah, no problems so far.

    Dislike it; awkward to use some functions.
