Thanks Brother, change is always welcome ..... well, honestly speaking we are familiar with the previous lay out, in talk shows I think it should not changed as majority of us not familiar with the names of shows/anchors except some renowned anchors or shows .....
As far as the member's thread portion is concerned ..... now its quite difficult to recognise the thread poster quickly as the avatar of the poster not being shown, I think ..... it is also hard to chose ..... that what the end user wants/not want to read/see cz you know most of the users are very familiar here & people love to read/see their thread or post, on the contrary most of the users does not want to read post of the some posters having negative goodwill in respect of their die hard relation with their political affiliation/views/most of the time used abusive language/hypocrites etc .... like in my case when I see the post from JU,AH,MA,FI etc (not mention the names) I simply ignore their threads & move forward .....
In last I would like to mention it again that change is always welcome, let the new layout run for some time ..... later on we will see the results ...:)
