Allow players to use the old version. Some don't like the way it shows things like stats
Some don't like the way it shows things like statistics, and also it is slower in some browsers. You type something and it disappears.
I have read you make the changes to improve the forums, well some of us do not use the forums or use them very few.
Put a swich to allow players to stay in the current version, please.

Respectfully, I disagree.
Oh, I certainly concur that the original statistics displays, the profile page, and most especially the original Forum format were superior to that which we have now in several respects. I happen to like some of the new features, but that's not why I disagree.
Instead, I'm in favor of the platform. It's all subsurface stuff, but it makes a huge difference in the end result; we've got better long-term potential here than we did there. Actually, as I understand it, the old page is nearly obsolete and will not run on several platforms. The new page gives trouble to XP users (about a third of us by my mark) but we can evade that by using Firefox (much though I detest it for any other purpose).
