I find the white background hurts my eyes.
Some of the new features do seem nice, but they come at a huge cost. I've already shared my thoughts about what happened to groups, so moving on to what I'd like to see:
I'd like groups to receive some leeway, given this very troubling transition, to figure themselves out with:
- Functioning privacy settings for groups. It is currently not possible to restrict groups to be viewable by members and moderators only. While there are settings for this, the lack of privacy settings on profiles renders them useless, since anyone can access them through links.
- Privacy settings for profiles. Since the group's privacy settings don't work because of the lack of profile privacy settings, this would solve two problems at once - sort of.
- The ability to individually determine access to parts of my profile. It would be nice, for example, to allow people to post comments on my status or profile, but not to have every topic I make, or post I make, appear publicly on my profile.
- Load Times. There are some issues with the site's forums loading. Even fast computers/connections have to wait a long time between links, when navigating forums. While this happened on BSN, as well, it was occasional, as opposed to constant.
