I didn't know viewers were down 2/3rds, that's terrible!! I know a lot of my club buddies don't come around any more. It's definitely a change for the worse.
The good:
1. Auto-save when writing posts. I haven't lost one yet.
The Bad:
1. Too many banner ads.
2. Making attachments are worse.
3. Lost my avatar!
4. Lost my 'rating' . I thought they said it was coming back?
5. No email notices of updated subscribed threads. And yes, I've tried the fixes.
IMO, IB needs to abandon this front end and get something like vBulletin, much more user-friendly.
