I liked the old DU a lot more than this new one

It was much easier to navigate for one thing. I will still visit here but will probably miss posts I would not have missed before. I know my opinion does not count for much but just felt compelled to voice it anyway.

If you use a PC, then try the "Skinner mode" under My Stuff - Account Settings.

It's laid out differently, but it's there. And some things seem to be more accessible. I think the Home Page looks great.

It looks a lot like the previous version. Personally, I really like the new version.

so I hear....

but i did that myself. my major complaint about the new site was only the appearance,
the navigation differences I can deal with... already getting used to it.

You can pay more than 5 a year if you want. If you can’t spend $5 a year, maybe a DU member will sponsor you.
