Admins should have taken some feedback before ...... switching to the new format......instead of taking a whimsical decision of such a major change. It is the users whose visits declare the success or failure of web presences like these, not the admins and moderators. To develop the interest of user and make him stay there is of such a great importance that PHD is being offered and done in the field of "Human Computer Interface" i.e HCI. Remember navigational ease, accessibility, visibility, and scalability are the key to the success of any web presence.
On the other hand I happened to read few introductory words from the management thread started by [MENTION=23179]TruPakistani[/MENTION] that was not accessible to normal users like us.....which stayed a while on the front page. It was admitted therein "Majority of user/members are not accepting/liking the new format.....but a change is always resisted at first and later on accepted".
Remember it is the user feedback which is the only authority on the basis of which interfacing decision are taken by even the giants like Microsoft and others in the field......not the on the basis of some developer/coder's liking/disliking.
