Put me down as a 3.0 lover (not the current 3.0)
Actually design wise I don't have much of an issue with the current one, nor am I that bothered about the splitting into 4 (except the game page/game sales split which is awkward) it's the fact that useful features have been taken out, and a few flashy but pointless features added in.
3 of my major gripes:
- Graphing tools: I know there is a reason they have not yet returned, and that is they are being improved.... but surely it's possible to keep the old ones up? Darth has been pestering me about when I am opening the 10 week countdown like I did the last 2 Christmasses, but being able to predict sales is a hell of a lot easier when you can properly view the past sales.
- Coloured text: The number of people who actually posted constantly in other colours was minimal so it being a blemish on the design of the site or whatever isn't really an issue, and it could easily have been moderated rather than a deleted feature. It was useful for people to be able to highlight things in quotes, and it was more useful for being able to highlight different sections in tables (not that using tables on this site has been particularly easy since mid-2007) now people are being forced into html code just to colour things... which is relatively simple for those who like posting in block colour that's different from other peoples (thus means it's not stopping people doing that) but slow and tedious for people trying to highlight table sections to make it easier for people to read.
- Right-click: Should be an option pretty much all the time tbh.
