The Death of TE

in Off-Topic
So not to be too dramatic, but I just logged in for the first time in a week or two, obviously there has been some kind of change here, and I get it. But I have to question the wisdom of changing the entire interace, especially since it seems to be a worse experience and isn't even plugging any advertising, it seems the new guard has changed it for the sake of letting everyone know "something happened", but if the change hasn't brought any value to the members, or the owners, then WTF is the point? I for one after 15 years am looking for a new home. I get that things change, but this is one hell of a ham handed change that I fail to see the value in.

This is more like going from Win2k to Win10 than going from Win7 to Win8. But that's my opinion.

I think if they are listening to the feedback and make the necessary adjustments, the site will be fine. However, bad site or good site, old site or new site, the community of people has always been the best thing about TE. That hasn't changed, so I think you and others should stick around
The new format is REALLY good on a mobile device which IMO is the smart way to go. It would be interesting if they used Google analytics to see what percentage of users were on a desktop/laptop vs mobile....
I realize many people are die-hard mobile junkies who think the desktop computer has outlived its usefulness. I, like many other people, rarely look at TE or any other forum from a mobile device. And if I do, I will use the "desktop" view on the mobile browser. The desktop environment is FAR from being dead so I can definitely see a need for TE to support both desktop and mobile browser environments. Like so many other sites, TE needs to be setup so that it automatically adjust to a user's browsing environment.
Change happens. Those of us who have been here for a long time helping others are still around. All historical data got migrated. Categories were revamped to reflect the comunity's interest. Sounds like a win to me.
Does the white layout burn my retina? Sure! But it's been made clear that management is looking into a solution. Just remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
Death of TE? Nah. Yea, it needs some changes. But, give input and they work on it. At first I hated it. They made a few changes and it's getting better. It's still a work in progress, but it's coming along nicely.
