I took a brief look the other day - my head still hurts.

I didn't spend nearly as long as you did apparently, but saw a few of the same things you note. WTF, if this comes to pass (in anything NEAR what I saw) it will surely be the end of my time here!!

Well said my friend, I did look at it the other day and thought what the HELL!!! It is definitely not for me. So thank you for breaking it all down for us as it's just to much of a Nightmare for this blogger and I will NOT be using it!!

Have you looked at the new Community? I did and I am a big NO!!

If so, what do you think of the new beta format?..Doesn't make a whole lot of sense and
is quit confusing.

Is it better or worse than the old format? I like the old Format and will be sticking with that for now. I am hoping I don't loose any of my followers, and I sure don't want to be lost on the blogs that I follow as well..

I hope you enjoy a relaxing Sunday..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I missed the initial rollout entirely and have been afraid to peek at the new beta version. Sounds horrible! But it’s kind of hilarious that the apostrophes are still broken on it.

I have looked at the beta community, and it is a DISASTER. I think they want more bloggers to leave the site.

I have not looked at the Beta Community, nor do I have an interest in doing so. If and when the time comes that they decide to switch things up and I no longer have the ability to easily frequent my favorite blogs and leave comments that will be read and responded to, I will stop being here. I chose not to be a gold member here, this time around, because IM was so terrible and there were so many issues and glitches.

I have honestly tried to use. I AGREE IT IS NOT WHAT WE NEED OR ARE LOOKING FOR. I have found that I can make it lock up. Not sure it is the site of my computer confused by all the things I want to see and can't find.. It will not work until all do link their normal profiles to the new community. Some (a very few) have linked and those seem to work normal, but without a master page as we have now it is not going to be a very user-friendly program..

What is the definition of beta version?
Definition of: Beta version[I/] A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to try under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing inhouse and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as a result.

So we get a second-hand version of the program ???[B/]

Have you looked at the new Community?
Nope. I have enough to juggle this holiday season. I'm refusing to let their chaos mess with my head, LOL.

Have been wondering about that Spunky, but have been hesitant to click on it, and now after reading what you've said, guess I'll carry on hesitating! In case I get curious though, just have to ask you, if you click on it, can you leave - you're not stuck with it? Anyway, have a great week!

I did have a brief look at the new community format. I couldn't get my head around it to be honest.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll go through the following point by point... then go through the posts you sent and comment there too.

Below are 15 examples of how my normal blogland routines are disrupted:
- new comments to my blog posts are not easy to find

A: Once we move to the new code, every time someone comments on a post or replies to a comment (for both blogs and groups), it will be listed on the "Alerts" page so you can see them all in one place. During the "beta", they do not show up there yet as it's a new feature.

- comments to some of my blog posts have disappeared

A: One of the blog migration scripts wasn't running for a week... blogs/comments are there again. It's a bit hard to keep the two databases in sync but I can update any missed ones later.

- my replies to comments posted on my blog posts have vanished

A: Please check again now that the last week data has been copied.

- many images uploaded with blog posts do not appear

A: I'm investigating this one today... I think it's related to the last week sync issue.

- the description of my blog has been reduced to a few lines

A: Yes, I'm going to work on this... I was trying to make it do a summary with a link to "view all" but since we have so many customization tags, it's hard to do. The challenge is on mobile where a long description means people have to scroll through it to see the posts.

- alerts take me back to things that happened a long time ago

A: yep, the alerts will show only new events that happen in the new community... my guess if you have some alerts, they're from August when we were testing things.

- each of my saved posts are listed twice

A: I'll have to check this one on your account as I see them only once.

- my sticky blog post for members to contact me has vanished

A: I'll check this one later. The new code also only has sticky on/off and not a sort order for them. It's on the to-do list but we also want to keep things simple.

- new posts of my followed bloggers can only be found by searching each of their blogs

A: Assuming you're using a computer (not phone), you can see "new posts of followed bloggers" by clicking the "Blogs" button on the left sidebar, then "Followed" button on the upper-right corner of the page.

- the opening page of blogland is just a list of random blog posts

A: It currently shows the newest blogs (note again, the last week's blogs were missing).

- recent blog posts cannot be found

A: yes, they're there now.

- new bloggers cannot be easily found

A: click "Blogs" in left sidebar, then "New" button at the top. However, since most new bloggers

- so-called top bloggers cannot be easily found (some may say this is a plus point!)

A: yeah... we're going to get rid of the "contest" posts. If you go to /community/members you can see some leaderboards and sorts but it's kind of hidden on purpose until we see if it's useful.

- blocked members are now unblocked

A: Aha... I see what happened here. I will update it today.

- and incredibly, the apostrophe is still mangled

A: yeah... I worked on this a bit last week. The problem is the old/current blog database mangles apostrophe's and so only new posts will not have that problem. It's actually worse for non-English posts. The new blogs has a way to fix apostrophes in old posts for English.
