This new format SUCKS!!!
WTF ? Anyone else find the search function useless? I type "Cervelo" and get two hits, you gotta be kidding me? There' s a "What wheels for Cervelo S1" in this forum and it doesn't even show up on the search. I have to wait 30 seconds in between searches after finding the first one is useless?
I'm sure the change was done for some noteworthy reason, but, I find it tragic. I mean it's like going back to the dial up days. Please join me in stating your frustrations to get improvements made. Is the server run by hamsters?
Good luck

Sorry, just a little miffed at the stifling molasses speed of the new system and seemingly missing backlog of threads, or at least searchability.

Still got MY favorite feature, though: About half the time, if I just peek in to see what's going on without logging in, then decide to leave a comment, it seems to accept my log-in. Then I type a long, thoughtful response that could improve the lives of countless of my cycling brethren, and when I hit SUBMIT REPLY, it tells me I'm not logged in.

Yeah, lots of things I don't like... but giving it some time. I'm sure NO ONE will pay attention to complaints immediatly. After some forced time to give it a try, maybe.
I did almost NOT come here this morning because I didn't like the look/function yesterday.... which was cut short cause I got tired of scrolling/ads.

Sadly, I have to agree. This format has to much whizz bang stuff that distracts from the content/discussions of the day. Whereas the old format was all about content and discussion.
I seldom criticize formats of any forum I visit but this new level 4 is to much. Way to much.

Yes it dose suck and it sucks bad!!
It stinks that you cant go to the last post in a thread.
It stinks that you done know where the new posts begin in a thread that you have been reading.
It really sucks that the format is hard to read, way to much white space!
