StumbleUpon's new BETA
Extended Rant #2:
The first time I tried this I was actually gripped with an uncontrollable panic because the stupid interface lost/wouldn't display my CSS theme, I couldn't find anything, couldn't even tell what was going on with my own pages....and I couldn't figure out how to shut it off for a good hour. Horrifying! I almost threw my laptop out my front window in a fit of unbridled rage.
I'm sorry guys, this beta is an eyesore, a nightmare tangle of useless features, and basically a loser. If I'm forced to switch to it I might actually become angry enough to forsake StumbleUpon permanently.
And I don't say this lightly - I love StumbleUpon, but I come here to relax, not to suffer uncontrollable rage attacks when I see the blog I've spent hours working on reduced to a garbled, crappy mess. And no, I don't want to spend the same amount of time re-learning how to do everything with the new system.
The "What's New" page is a nice idea, but there's got to be a way to just add a new tab instead of having to "revolutionize" (read: screw up) our page layouts, CSS themes, and everything else that already works just fine.
For anyone who's inadvertently switched to this beta and doesn't know how to switch back, the page I've thumbed-down should have a link that will allow you to switch back to the classic version.
Oh yeah, and on that note, I also just love how the "try the NEW (beta)" link automatically switches you without asking your permission, and without giving you an easily-found "exit hatch," too. Really, really crappy moves, guys.
