I hate DS for changing everything and have lost many friends because they can't or won't try to figure things out now. I feel I have no choice but to leave this place I found to get stuff off my chest.

It is improving almost daily. It will always be different from old DS, but as it improves, it improves .... greatly. Might want to try a little patience and see if you grow to like it. Your call.

the ones i kept in touch with are also gone. Not the same. why fix what was not broken to please a few....

WanderingVet 07/15/2016

Because what was 'not broke' was technologically archaic and did not perform worth a $@@$##.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I know a lot of other users who are in the same boat. If you'd like, you can always talk to me.

Sorry to hijack this thread but seeing a CL is replying, how do we browse users like the old site?

You can talk to me. I did prefer the old layout, but I'm not letting it chase me out.

Well sheesh! how long do we have to be patient? Seems like it will be years at the rate it is going now!

>>how do we browse users

FOR NOW I don't believe you can ... you see, I agree they should have had a LOT more working when they replaced old with new. That feature is not (yet) available, ... BUT WILL BE. It is not so much the new DS sucks because it 'can't' do stuff, it sucks because it has not yet been fully developed. This ... I TOTALLY, TOTALLY agree with. I did not decide when to do the replacement, but it is DONE. Now, all we can do is wait as they continue to implement .... or leave. I opt to wait.

Lousy answer to your question, ... you can only browse your FRIENDS which are made as you run into people in posts .... mostly. YES .... TERRIBLE ... but IT IS ALL BEING WORKED ON, and .... large steps are made almost daily. See here for examples:

If you need to find out how to do something, click on those 3 horizontal bars, upper LEFT corner. LEFT CLICK 'CONTACT US', .. left click SUBMIT A REQUEST (upper RIGHT corner). Fill out the form in detail. Then, for REQUEST TYPE use GENERAL FEEDBACK. You will get an answer emailed to you.

We CLs don't know a LOT yet about the new DS. There is no HELP FEATURE, and they tossed it in our lap too.

Sadly we can not browse users like the old site. We need to wait for a future fix so that we can sort our friends alphabetically. (How could they not know that would be a required feature???)
