Unhappy OK. someone has to ask RE, OSO's new format.

I don't know how to set up a pull, but someone should.
I see all the negative comments regarding the format, etc. I don't like it either. BUT....
I am sure with time the bugs will get fixed and we will get used to this.. so.
A) Negative comments are really regarding the Format? Yes, or no.
B) Negative comments because we all, (or at least most) are pissed off since IB didn't even attempt to ask the members for input ideas or whatever. Yes, or no.

The members make this site what it is, not the format, the text size, banner adds, the gizmos, widgets, gadgets and apps.. etc. We all argue, have different opinions on stuff, even fight, but we all come together for people in need or tech support. etc... This site would be nowhere with out the members, paying or not. IF IB's position hat they don't care about the members, (and that's how I feel) then you know what's coming.
This is MHO, and comments welcomed.

Question

The member HAVE expressed opinions for change over the years......

Why don't we have a rating system like other forums
Why don't we have a "like" system like other forums
Why don't we have the ability to link to social media like facebook, etc

These are just the ones off the top of my head:

Now that all of these things are introduced plenty of people are pissed. Can't please everyone.

This format was put in place because of all the things that have been asked for over the last few years. Give it some time they will get it so that it is better. There are a lot of things that are better. The few things I have mentioned to them have been addressed already.

Not sure what all the people hate so much. It's just a different format. If you have been on boards long enough you know they change from time to time. I will say I am glad the board is much faster on my computer now.
