1. The WHITE background is primarily harsh (to me) because the default fonts are too small and/ or too light. I think I could live with it if the fonts were legible without having to screw up one's eyes to see. It doesn't encourage me to linger on the site, and made it SO much easier to "go dark" on September 30th, despite the fact that I had previously spent most of the day, every day, logged onto TV.com.

2. It is rather discouraging to type up a blog in one's chosen font, colours and spacing, with one's chosen emoticons...... and to have it come out as one big shapeless paragraph in a generic font. Consider that comment retracted, if the current blog appears with formatting intact :oops:

3. It is nothing to do with the changed site (as it was happening before) and it may just be that I'm too uninteresting to merit a view, but the profile view counter remains frozen - thereby providing another disincentive to visit the site.

4. It would be nice to have the readily accessible 'new blog' button back.

5. I really miss the 'extra' emblems (I didn't have them, but it was useful seeing them on the profiles of others), the progress bar at each level and the pie chart. They may not have been "essential" but they added to the charm of the site.

I am slowly getting used to it, but that's because I no longer spend huge swathes of time on the site. I was probably spending too much time on here anyway :D
