I thought something had gone wrong with the site, but now realise that you have changed it...for the worse. Very, very slow, presumably because of the numerous annoying ads that are now cluttering up every available space.
As people are saying, it wasn't broken so why fix it, and I totally agree. Your changes are a backward step. Oh, and get rid of the ads. Thanks.
Can we consider this to be a trial (that failed), and that you will revert to previous in the near future?
