I really like the new look. A few comments/observations:
- the site seems neither slower nor faster, and I am happy with performance
- if you hack the display/functionality of a site with browser add-ons, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
- no matter what anybody does in this world, people will always complain more than they compliment
- cosmetics are often easier to change than functionality, and many sites need to stay fresh to keep the interest of some people, in this case to compete with the wannabe caching sites out there
- with the cost of infrastructure, hosting, development, personnel, etc., I am happy that this site can exist. You get decent functionality for free, and premium membership is reasonable.
