Most of us fans (not only on our ND board but others too) started complaining when the change first happened last January(?).

Since then, I've become used to it, though I still really don't like this format … seems like everybody (news papers, financial companies, etc, etc) are starting to use this, and I don't like it!

well try going to Yahoo sports or ESPN for their 'scores' pages! who the heck is at the top making these decisions?

I agree ....I can't find shit on the und website. You would think they would make it easier but they make them more difficult.
 
Trying to think why all these web sites (rivals, UND, ESPN, FORMULA1, Fidelity, WashingtonPost, …) have changed to some real lousy web page formats. The only reason I can think of is … back when I was still working (I'm retired now) as a college professor, at some point during my last couple of years all the web pages related to the university had to be developed using some specific software (I much prefer using html where I have complete control) … this software had its limitations and the results weren't what what I always expected. Its possible that all of our favorite websites have bought into the same software package to develop their web pages and the webpages this software generates is this horrible crap that most of us don't like.
 
Don't understand all the push back to these boards.

The only negative people have is that they have to 'get used' to looking at something that appears different. However with that comes easier linking, in stream video, easier to quote, and multiple quote now possible. When someone does quote something, it shrinks it so you don't have a thread a mile long because someone has to quote every quote for every reply.

And on the back side, the formatting, and indexing is 100000000000x better for Yahoo. And sine they are worth just shy of 70 billion in total assets. I can't imagine they care what a couple of faceless people on a message board think

I would imagine it's largely because of the emphasis on mobile technologies the last couple, few years with more people using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

I can't get used to looking at Caitlin Jenner. Why change God's work.
