Whoever did the so called upgrade sure did a crappy job IMHO. The whole site is a mess. Pretty disappointing.

Wow! This is the worst upgrade I've seen
- Thread starter Thumpin6string
- Start date
I spent many, many hours, days, years playing that game when I was younger. I guess that would be comparable to kids these days on there Playstations and X-Box. But D&D would still beat them all
And socks... 
Not to mention crabs.

I appreciate the work that the mod squad has (and continues to) put in.
That being said, if I had been a beta tester I'd be hesitant to admit it.
Jaco only needed the old Talkbass…
Seriously though, a tip o’ the hat to the sysads who completed the changeover in one day! With the amount of material on this site, that’s no small feat. I look forward to watching it progress, as I simultaneously learn my way around the new user interface.
One feature I’ll request for return is showing the join date and the stats along with users’ names and avatars.
Only forward!

Blah. I really don’t like to be negative about this kind of thing.. I’m sure the TB team put a lot of heart and thought into this, but …
Has anyone else just been completely unable to take an interest in talkbass since the change ? I’m not having errors or anything, I just open the site, look at the first page, and nothing looks like anything. It’s just a wall of text.
Like not only do I specifically detest the move towards a ‘hot now’ feed agnostic to the individual forums, but stylistically I just can’t sink my teeth into it. My brain has no interest in staying on the site and sifting through any of it.

Yes. In the interest of constructive criticism, that accurately describes my experience with the new format. A little too busy and something hard to articulate increasing the cognitive load required to interact with it.
To exaggerate some, it's like the difference between reading National Geographic and Newsweek in the doctor's waiting room. Pick up and peruse a Newsweek (as spoken by someone who hasn't exactly done this recently) and you might pick up some current event knowledge. Pick up a Nat Geo and I'm like, yeah, pretty, glossy, whatever.
Come to think of it, classic TalkBass felt similar to what picking up a Reader's Digest used to (which is to say good).
Readers Digest was full of fake articles and copy-pasted stories lol
Like FaceBook without all the negativity.
Wrong! No 4 strings here and definitely no Ps.Someone needs to make a database of all the people who are complaining about the new look and feel, and see if its the same individuals who are stuck on a 4-string p-bass as the only real bass. I'll bet its the same exact people.
