I don't post much to begin with but I've adjusted to the new format. I hated it at first but now the site feels the same as it always did. Traffic seems to be the same, too, according to alexa.com.

Of course, there are a lot of variables that go into traffic for a basketball website. The NBA Finals and the draft just finished and now it's the beginning of free agency so there might be a lot of people just coming here even though they secretly hate the new format. Time will tell, I guess. As far as the new functions go, haven't really used them. I like some posters, can't stand others, but I prefer to read everything so I've chosen against using the friend/foe app.

Agreed. Always thought "ignore" and apps like it were kind of silly....

Agreed. Also on the whole Finals are over...it's the OFFSEASON! Of course people won't come on here as much...check back when camp starts and then there'll be more traffic!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

Honestly- I love the posters, the discussion and the content here but in all honesty- from a technical aspect it's one of the worst sites on the net. It is by FAR the worst site that I visit on a regular basis. clunky, long load times etc.etc. just a poorly engineered site- both before and after the changes. I'll still post here cuz I enjoy the discussion and content but damn this site is clunky. Always has been, seemingly always will be.

To be honest I forget what the old format looks like now, I remember hating the new format when it first came out but I got use to it.

I hate the loading time for the pages!

But I changed the code for the forum a bit (there was a thread on this board and some other boards) and made it more user friendly...

I like the button that brings you to the post you read. That is huge. No more flipping through pages of threads trying to remember where you left off.
