    No, I don't like it and please don't tell me this is intentional! I've been telling people the site has been hacked! If this is thoughtfully planned, we are in trouble!

    Not at all. 1/3 of the screen is advertisements and I need to scroll way down the page to answer or read questions.

    No for me too. It looks like a lot of wasted space to me. I liked the old home page. If you can't improve it, don't mess with it.

  • I DO NOT like it one bit. I thought something was wrong with my monitor until I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled down and finally came to the Questions. Terrible look.

    I sure hope this is NOT the NEW AB! I was thinking it is some sort of glitch that has to be worked out. I don't like at all how it is right now! I have to do far too much scrolling up & down & back & forth. +5

  • No. The oversized ads should be shrunk and the actual Q&A should be shifted back to the center.

    It is okay. The advertisements take up way too much space. I hate having to scroll down the page for an hour before finding the damn answer box. and my profile page is all screwed up. But i do like that little side-bar 'more on this topic' or whatever. So i'd give it a 4 out of 10 stars.

    I think it sucks and i think if they don't change it back a lot of people will quit AB. What was wrong with what they had? This new format is horrible but do you think they honestly care?

    I hate ads. But... I ran my own website for 3 years and didn't charge people to use it. Money to pay the bills has to come from someplace.
    Would you prefer the ads to go and we all up the jing to pay the host and IP geeks?
    I can ignore ads. I don't want to pay for a website.

    But I do not like the ads....

    I'm with you on this Kewl its AWFUL!!!!

    I'M NOT HAPPY at all
    i really dislike the layout my 16 month grandson could have done a better job!!!

    I know they said we were in for some changes BUT this is NOT what I personally wanted at all
    And why is everything so messed up?
    What was wrong with the nice AB i had come to love so much?
    I feel like i'm drunk with everything falling to the left the way it does!
    And i intensely dislike what's happened to my activity page!!!
    BRING BACK THE AB WE LOVE!!!!!!

    Every time there are changes to a website that a lot of people enjoy, there is confusion, and desire for the old way to return.

    Here are a couple of prior changes to AB, and what people said then:

    http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/89500 (Nov, 2006)
    http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/181160 (Mar, 2007)
    And now, now.

    It's a bit jarring, when you've been on a site, and the layout for pages changes like this, but it can be gotten used to.

    See the current blog for why they did it.

    Well, the "more on this topic" section is good for laughs. I haven't yet seen it come up with anything remotely related to the question I was working on. I haven't seen much in the "you might also want to ask" section that seems related either. I don't quite get the point.

    I'm slightly in favor of it, because with Firefox Adblock Plus, there are less ads to load, and therefore the pages are loading faster for me.
