I WISH THEY'D WARNED US THEY WERE CHANGING TO FACEBOOK FORMAT

I have no choice but to start another thread because I can't create an independent post in an existing thread without replying specifically to a particular member's post.

QUESTIONS:

(1) Is it a blip that there is no Reply box that does not require one to reply to a specific member's post.

(2) Is it intended that threads will not be paged but that we will be required to "Load more" ad infinitum to get to the end of a thread?  Some threads have hundreds, even thousands of posts.

(3) Will it be possible to set fonts to be more readable?  The present one is rather faint.

(4) Is it intended that so few of the posts will be visible on a page?  EG:

It would be helpful to have a "still to do" list from the Powers That Be, so we know whether to despair or not.  The way the forums are presently set up, they are unusable.
