Oh, FF.Net!

[wiseheart]

Anyone else hating the new ways FF.Net hides the various filters (rating, character, word count, etc)?

It was so comfortable, having everything listed in the menu bar. Now we have to click on the stupid blue button, then figure out where the choices are... every time they change something, it becomes more complicated.

Of course, due to the shiny new changes some important functions aren't working at the moment. If you post a crossover, you can only add characters to one category, you can't edit the chapter titles, and probably a lot more crap I haven't even discovered yet.

Why on Earth must they always fix that which isn't broken?

I was going to ask the same question myself! I hate it, it's so ridiculous, I have to change my bropwsing window to full screen to click the Apply button. It's so stupid changing everything so it's more complicated, they're driving me insane.

Yes, and the most idiotic part is that you don't actually see the settings. So you can only guess if you've saved the page to the bookmarks with the settings you wanted or not.

Idiots!

It's just like on LJ, fixing things that worked just fine. It's like they're trying to drive their users away! I give up.

I absolutely despise the new system on ff.net! It's a nightmare!

Not to mention completely senseless. Who comes up with all these stupid ideas anyway? It's as bad as LJ, honestly.

I'm having that experience with a number of programs and interfaces I use. I'm wondering if it is due, at least in part, to the ongoing transition from keyboard-and-mouse to tablet-type devices where one sweeps and taps with a finger on a rather small screen. The design demands are quite different, I imagine.

However, I'm with you: quite annoyed that things that work perfectly well keep changing to things that, IMHO, do not!
