Feeling incredibly sad/angry re: new bds

I hate this. It's terrible. We are all under a lot of stress with w&p for our moos and this is the last thing I need. I feel like I've been betrayed by ParentsPlace and that they are trying to make it MORE DIFFICULT for me to visit with my online support group. It's incredibly difficult to use and you can't see all the discussions, the "title" is shorter so you can't fit as much, the icons don't show in outline view, and it's all just awful.
WAAAHHH!

I also am unable to bring up the boards on my crappy computer at work (another reason to quit my job! LOL!). So I may be a little MIA the next couple weeks.
I'm incredibly disappointed! I've already been out on the net searching for a replacement. There's just not much out there.

I hate the outline feature - it takes way too long. Sometimes I pop on the board just to see what my friends are doing, so I scan through to see if anyone's name pops up - OK, maybe it makes me a bad person to seek out certain people, but when I'm crunched for time, there are some people that I think I may have more to say to than others. Sorry. By the time the outline feature opens, the 5-minute window of opportunity I had is gone. When I have more time, I can go through the links and respond at my leisure, but sometimes I just don't have that time.
To be honest, I'm glad I'm not pumping anymore, because there is no way I'd find time to read this board and pump on my "breaks" - at least now I can waste my breaks trying to find my friends here.
Please, ladies - I know it sucks, but I don't know what I'll do without you. Don't leave!
HUGS!

Yesterday when I first signed on during a "quick" break that I had allowed myself, I was mortified to see this mess. There is no good way to see the newest discussions without going through every topic, there are no more topic lines and what does show up is so trunkated and cut off that the whole concept of lurking and getting the gist of a conversation from the nt posts is gone, and everything takes forever to load. I was in the crabbiest mood I've had in a while and was utterly devistated that what I look forward to during the day as my break had turned into yet another stresser.
Since then, I've played around a little bit and am getting a little more used to it, but am still not happy. I'm not quite ready to leave, but I'm not thrilled. I totally agree with Armella that the "party" atmosphere is gone because we're no longer all in one big room where we can listen in and join everyone else's discussions. It's like everyone is huddled in small groups whispering and you have to horn your way into every circle just to hear what it's about before deciding if you even want to join in.
I also agree that it will get even more confusing and cumbersom as more messages get posted without archiving. It will make outline view all but useless if you have to scroll through hundreds of posts just to get to the next discussion topic area. Armella, I agree that outline view by topic would be much better, although the whole topic idea is really segregating.
Anyway, I guess I'm done. I was practically in tears yesterday when I posted, and I'm calmer now, so I guess that's a step in the right direction. I just don't want to lose the friends I've made here.
