Current Mood: chipper

When I was a kid, if I got a bad report card, I went ahead and destroyed it beyond recognition! Ripped it up and buried it in the compost, tossed it down the toilet, whatever!

I certainly did NOT leave it on the stairs of the train for any passing do-gooder to pick up and carefully return to my school :)

Listen, if you can't be bothered to throw your failing report card out (and it was pretty bad), guess what? I certainly can be bothered to go 20 minutes out of my way to bring back! I'm under no illusions that it'll actually make it home to her Parents or Guardians this time (unless the school smartens up and calls them first), but maybe she'll dispose of it properly.

Honestly!

This time it's the commenting.

No subject lines. (The guy who did the change doesn't use them, so nobody should have that choice!)

No preview. (No reason given that I can see.)

No "link" button unless you hover (if it works), no "parent" or "thread" links.

No alphabetical icons. (Because in date-added order is so much more intuitive?)

Ugly design, and it zooms up and down when you comment.

Naturally, the news comm is going nuts. Oh, that's another thing - no replies yet from staff.

There is one plus, though. Newly posted comments are now labelled "new comment", so they're easily identified. That's the ONLY good thing I see. New system doesn't even seem to work for many users, and it's all accompanied with a jerkish attitude from the guy who made it.
