To anyone who thinks it's cute or even acceptable to mock or disparage people having trouble with DU4 - it isn't.

34. I'm not going anywhere, either. I love this site. But I do want DU4 to work at least as well, or nearly as well,

as DU3 for everyone here. If it seems much more difficult to people here, they're likely to read less and post less. And if they're met with snarky comments if they mention it being harder to use DU now, that does make it more likely they will actually leave, or at least spend a lot less time here and maybe take long breaks from DU. I don't want that.

I first got online in the mid-1980s, and I ran into most of the old types of boards over the years. I have no problem adapting to changes.

But changes should ideally make reading and posting on a board easier, not harder. The admins were right to listen to people using their phones more and finding the old DU more difficult then. But accommodating them should be done without making DU more difficult and time-consuming for others.

And people who are very happy with DU4 - and think everyone should be - need to remember that theirs aren't the only opinions that matter and other DUers shouldn't be sniped at until they fall in line. Those are the people this OP is about.
