      Surely if only one user complained, the chance of fixing would be much lower.

      True. The same goes with too many people complaining...you start to tune them out, and their input and view points become meaningless.

        "50+" is a pretty good percentage of the actual number of users here. For the record, I don't like it (the new UI) either.

          Has nothing to do with what I said. We, as developers, know that these things take time. Complaining about it, like a user, doesn't solve any problems.

                      Why aren't you surprised? It takes up too much space, and it's NWO pastel theme makes me want to puke. Do I have any suggestions to make it better? No, but mainly because I don't care enough about it to bother suggesting anything (and get the impression it wouldn't matter anyway).

                          I'm sure Chris and crew are working on changes, fixes, and enhancements. Having 50+ members crying about the same damn thing isn't going to help anything other than pissing off the rest of us. Ultimately, if you don't like it that much, then go somewhere else. Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me. :wtf:

                            So, what's your point? You know how to fire employees that don't share your view points. Fire this.

                              If I was pissed off, I wouldn't be responding to your messages. Besides, holding a grudge over shit that happens on the internet is beyond pointless. As long as it doesn't spill over into the technical side of the board, I don't care what anyone says here in the lounge (no matter how misguided it might be :) ).

                                    He's the boss, he can do that (in most states). In California, he' have to present well-documented proof that the employee needed to be fired, which could take as long as a year, and potentially take his company down in the process. Then, he'd probably still have to pay his lawyers to fight the inevitable wrongful termination lawsuit... I believe the final note would be "yadda yadda yadda..."

                                      my point is if you're in the business of providing a service to users and have the attitude that their opinions about what you deliver mean nothing to you, you don't belong in the business.

                                      no, if they don't know how to deal with a user properly they have no value to my enterprise, none.

                                        When I first read this, I interpreted "users" as drug addicts... :laugh:

                                        CP users - drug addicts. Seems not to far away to me. I'm getting my fix at the moment. :rolleyes:
