Recent website changes here at TUSCL

First, Applause to the site for making efforts to improve the website. It was laready the most glorious website on earth, and every cool kid's home page, and they deserve credit for nuturing the best use of the internet. We are grateful.
I think we need a place to clarify what changes are being made, so that we aren't all wondering:
- what's missing
- what happened
- what features are new and what are gone
so I figured I'd start a page on it, since I haven't seen another one.
Few things:
- things seem to change every day as they add features, which is good, but hard to keep up with
- Direct Messages are now called "Chats" but the big thing is that you don't see a count of new messages, so it's not obvious that you have messages. Instead, on the right hand side, of your Feed, a thing called "chats" will literally blink from black to dark gray, so it's almost impossible to see. I clicked on it, and saw a bunch of messages I didn't know I had. I'm really popular here, so I had a lot.
- You can bookmark a review from either your feed or inside a message by clicking an icon that looks like a bookmark. In your feed, it's the 3rd icon over under a message, near the thumbs up, thumbs down and comments bubble. (And I just looked, and that feature is now missing). Inside a message, it's just to the right of the title. The bookmark is supposed to mean that you get an email every time someone comments, but they appear to be lagging behind, since I haven't gotten a lot of emails.
- the site appears to be slow. You click on the Feed button, and nothing happens for a 10 seconds or more, and it doesn't say it's doing anything. Then you get your feed. If you submit a review or post a comment, it also takes a long time.
- sometimes, if you click on a bookmark in your web browser that takes you to your Feed, it will tell you that it can't dfind it. CLick the Feed on the right, and it then appears to work
- some people have a yellow checkmark beside their name meaning that they're verified. I'm not sure what that means, but I will work tirelessly to acheive that status someday. My impeccable reviews and site popularity have not gotten me there yet , but I have a long career ahead. Some people like me have a $ beside their name, because we are as valuable as cash
- when you click on a person's name, you can no longer see the number of posts they've made, or comments, or anything.
- Desertscrub the douchebag got deleted, and at one point he had 15,000 comments, mostly calling people a liar, or saying they wrote a club ad or a shill review. You can no longer see how many comment or reviwes someone wrote, so it's hard to tell if they're a known contributor. I tend to share much more detail with known contributors.
That's just some of what I've found, and hopefully others will contribute. "Founder", who runs the site, and all of his accomplices, should have a God logo or King logo near their name, for making every visit to this site seem like Christmas eve or a bachelor party.
