Change is hard for everyone. More so for those of us who are not "up with the latest computer terms or processes"
It seems to me the biggest issues are 1. font size (has gotten enlarged, thanks) 2. Color of background, since the members were happy with the previous light beige, maybe that could be a consideration by the designers 3. Biggest problem for me is not having read topics change color. 4. Bookmarking is also a problem, was so easy before, now seems more difficult.
Maybe if the designers could address and hopefully make adjustments on these issues all of us would feel more comfortable and therefore be willing to take the time to learn the other features.
