Obviously we are not going to revert back to the old site, just like I am not going to throw out my 42" LCD and replace it with a 13" black and white TV. people who have a hard time accepting change are going to have a tough time in life. Honestly, if the 5 series forum changing visually ever so slightly is really causing a huge problem in your life, then buckle up, because life outside of your computer desk is NOT going to be easy.

Personally I feel it is disrespectful to continue complaining about the Admins volunteer work. This site is free to use and provides a wealth of information and a sense of community amongst people who share a common interest. If this makes the admins and mods job easier, so be it. Everyone needs to stop looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Amen to that!

Thanks for that, but I want to add, we are not updating this to make our jobs easier. That's just one side of it. We are mainly doing it, because we want to provide a spam free and friendly community.
