Forgive me CD but I loose patience with obay and all its c**p.  Perhaps you remember, some weeks before the boards were vandalised they went haywire over several days.  That was when this was a "work in progress", when the "development" was going on and replacing something that worked far better than its even now, merely adequate replacement was being scheduled.

    It  was, possibly the latest point in time when obay should have been asking what was wanted and listening to FB and replies in discussion.   Any discussion should have, if the changes had been community-led, taken place well in advance of that point.

    Did it??   No of course it didn't.   The usual obay attitude prevailed.  "Here's what we've done, hope you like, if not  --  suck it up anyway."

    So here you are (and I have some admiration for your tenacity in trying to turn a Pigs Ear back into a Silk Purse), wasting your time pushing back at a bunch of staffers who have no interest in (possibly no knowledge of) "Community".

    To them it's just the next "project" on their managers list of "Things to do".    Frankly, I can't be bothered.   If a bunch of coders, seemingly utterly detached from the reality of what they are destroying, decide to rip-up something that has worked so well all the years I've been here, they can get on with it.

    I'll make what limited use I can of the wreckage they leave.   But help them out by telling them what they should have studied BEFORE they started.   NO WAY.

    If they are getting paid to IMPROVE how things work, they should do their job in a professional manner or be shown the door.

    After this fiasco, most of which they are having to (all to slowly) undo, they should be looking for  someone charitable enough to employ them at all.

PS.  Why doesn't UNDERLINE work with caps lock??
