However, I doubt that will happen. Well, why do you think that old design suited people's needs better than the new one? Did you sit ~10 of your friends with various life and professional backgrounds in front of desktop and did you give them few tasks (find man page about blabla, find certain mailinglist, etc.) just to see how they behave while browsing *both* sites, old one and new one, and did you make observations how long did these tasks take them, how did they achieve the results, what were their feelings etc? I don't think so.=20 What I think is that you are pretty much used to old design.. and we all know that old habits die hard :).. Why I say this? Because I see feedbacks like yours all the time some site is being redesigned and people are too much shocked by sudden change than to be able to find something positive about it. have a nice evening, =20 --=20 martin hudec * 421 907 303 393 * corwin@aeternal.net * http://www.aeternal.net "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible=20 exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."
