Hell- As it seems so! LOTS of changes, and TONS of errata! :))
Trying to ask a simple question- What's your BIGGEST complain? And Compliment, may be?
Tried (quite a) few times to post this talks! Dang!! (That's a complain!)
And it getting the nerve! (Compliment, may be!! :)))
Yes, everything is changing here, and it's rather confusing especially when I sign in, I keep getting automatically logged out again, I then find my first page is a reading list which looks very confusing and I don't remember having a reading list before! All private messages gone, and I didn't get a change to reply to some of them. I can't get on some of the blogs via bloggers.
So many things gone wrong and so many good things missing now.

So many things gone wrong and so many good things missing now. I tried to start a Talk several times but it won't work for me.....
Now my replies are coming out twice because the first one disappeared, and the second one has produced both....
RPD, Reading List was there before- Guess out of focus, but now it's THE home page! Messages seems to be back again, but later!
Here it goes- let's see if it doubled! :))
May be you could try sign in with "Remember Me" that's how it wouldn't kick you out because of "any" errata!!
Moonomo. The thing is, I didn't use a readers list before even if it was there, so I don't know how the list was created in the first place. Also I don't want it as my home-page either, it just looks too messy and it doesn't have that 'clean, slick looking image' anymore.
I won't sign in by using 'remember me', just incase my computer gets used by anyone else at any time. But before this, I was able to sign in without any issues. I'm going to see if my private messages have returned. Thanks for your reply though :)
Its not kicking me out now without remember me check button, though when you want to leave you could just sign out so you wont be remembered any more (lol)- ;))
Just clicking on "Talks" filtering my replied talks, that's better! Hopefully it would be much more easier coming days- give it some time!
That reading list comes from the blogs you are following- now it's time to choose the right one only!
With the reading list, I have now tried to 'click' unfollow just for that page, and so far I only have 1 person on the reading list. This means that you can see the blog posts of that 'one person' only, instead of having different people on my homepage.
I noticed that the homepage has 2 options - activity stream or readers list.
Also with this new 'Talks' you now have to scroll down to read all the comments and then scroll all the way back up again to leave a message.
Click on the picture on the far right, besides the Reply count, that would point you to the last reply-
And pressing the "Reply" at the bottom of the comment would give you a comment box- For my talks (that I've started) I don't getting the initial comment box- but on other talks, it's a bit disturbing once I've replied- hmm....
I can now see that if you click on the black arrow to the bottom right of the screen, then this quickly takes you to the top of the screen to comment. And like you just said, if I press on 'reply' directly underneath your comment it comes out underneath what you are saying.
BTW I've been following a lots of blog- and all of their latest posts have been on "My Reading List" (lists updating faster) and ... all those blogs (I've been following) are listed on "Me > COUNT Reading" tabs ....
Yes, you have a 'Reading List' which shows all the blogs you are currently reading and their latest posts will show up on that page AND you have a 'Followers / Following' list which is completely separate. So if you 'unfollow' someone in the reading list, it does not unfollow them in your 'followers list'.
Don't take my word for it, but that's what I'm seeing right now but could be very wrong. I'm sure all will be revealed as more people ask for help.
oh..., so many complaints.!!
the worst is, it has become very complicated.
good is, some extra options like "like" is added, and looks a bit attractive.
Hello Princess- Finding way around would take its pain- :))
Nice to know you find a bit attractive.
I find the new layout to be very very confusing. I am not sure how to add friends and like Rumpunch I cannot access old messages.

So far there's is no adding Friend features that requires "Approval" but now it is "Follow" the person you would want to see their activities on "Activity Stream".
God! Worst part, when I search for my name under 'Discover Box' , it says: No Bloggers Found. So very annoying! All the important genres are missing from the list. I don't know where to look up for my name. I exist in none of the list. And the members under each list is soooo less. Difficult to keep a track of the new updates from my friends. I hope I will have all my messages in my inbox n outbox! :(:(:(
It has some issues to be worked out, for sure, but I actually like it. Personally, the removal of 'votes' is nice,as it focuses more on the blogger and the content than vote phishing.
I think it could be a change for the better!
Thanks Rob- Your Avatar reminds of Ma.tt from WordPress- ;))
I think same, it could be a change for greater good!
I like the changes of the new unfinished layout. This is more social, and so appealing.
Well, the biggest complaint is need to learn everything from zero. The compliment as this far is nothing from me yet. Need to learn about it again.
Yap- ol' habits need to refine and learning once again is what is happening!! Thanks Fendy-
Everything seems to be cluttered. Its like they didn't want any wasted space so they crammed it all into what was available. But that just makes it look clumsy and messy.
The biggest complaint I have so far, is now that the friend/vote thing is gone, I haven't even paid attention at all who the editor's picks are. I used to stop and see their profile and friend them. Now, they are just pictures of people that clutter up the page that I'm am trying to skip by as fast as possible.
yes you are right , I like the previous set up. I cant add a like option on my blog post can any one help me to solve this problem.
Aunt Mary, the like button is there, it shows in a person's activity stream, not on your blog, another new confusing addition!
I miss the massages! The reading and activity stream is so confusing!
