I asked about the increased spam. I was told that the old anti-spam tools are gone and new ones are bing introduced day by day. The new format offers more options for spam prevention and removal, so I'm looking forward to less spam. The last couple of days it has seemed like most of the posts have been spam.

So far I have had nothing but trouble just trying to log in. I've had to request multiple new password codes for each device, computer, Android phone and iPad. It took several tries for even those codes to work. Once I re-set my password through my profile, I thought I was set. No, tonight I had to go through the whole thing again.

I also think this format is just plain visually ugly. Very hard to look at. The layout items I didn't like in the sandbox are still the same. I'm going to give this a try for a couple weeks and see how it goes. So far not in favor.
