Although I am sure that the upgrade was the result of much planning, work and effort, it was still disappointing and frustrating to log onto TT this morning and unexpectedly find so many changes. Neither having nor wanting a mobile device, I cannot judge how the revised interface appears on the small screen of a smartphone or tablet. However, it is my concerted impression that, in the quest for streamlined simplicity of design, more of the many features that made TT special have been jettisoned along the way: the listing of a member's cumulative total of postings, the challenge forum, the challenge gallery, the show and birthday calendar, the multiple avatar pictures in the identity block that used.to appear to the left of the message in forum posts, the information on a member's city, state/province and country that also used to appear below the multiple avatar pictures, the festive postings of the celebration ambassador, and the more structured appearance of the forum pages. Additionally, it was disappointing to find the sudden suspension, pending upgrade, of the PM feature, and the sudden abandonment of the links to members' blogs, Etsy and Ebay stores,. etc. Of course, I will continue to post the Cute Animal Pic of the Day, but I really miss the features of TT that have been abandoned or set aside. Finally, the small type against the bright white background can be difficult to read, unless the screen of my laptop computer is tilted at a particular angle. Absent the availability of the erstwhile PM feature, the alternative was to post this comment to the forum. Perhaps consideration could be given to restore some of the signature TT features that were abandoned in the upgrade.
