It's shockingly bad. Aesthetically appalling. Terrible navigation links. Looks like a desperate attempt to make the site look 'modern' but has actually made it look like it was designed by an overly enthusiastic 12 year old.

I know I'm urinating in the wind when I say this but, please, for the love of God, bring back the old site.

Had to laugh at 'For the love of God', coming from one of AB's most militant atheists.

I'll get the mop - some things never change, sigh.

Why do you need that box? I normally just copy the URL and post it in the answer box.

Murdo:
At one time the only way to embed Youtube videos here was to enter their URLs into the designated box. (The videos would always appear at the very end of posts).

However later changes to the site meant that simply pasting a Youtube URL within the main text box would result in it being embedded into a post (and with further text then possible after it).

So the 'special box' hasn't really served any purpose for several years anyway.

Jackdaw33 - "Had to laugh at 'For the love of God', coming from one of AB's most militant atheists."

I agree. It's frustrating when your native language has been so manipulated and corrupted by religious claptrap over the centuries that even those of us who think that the concept of God is ludicrous (which it is) resort to referencing such an imagined deity just to make a point.

What do you mean?

[Buenchico]

OMG, Heaven's Above and Jesus H Christ!

Are you telling me that we atheists shouldn't use phrases related to antiquated superstitions?

Sorry, but I'm going to adopt a Devil-may-care attitude to the whole thing and say "To Hell with it!"

;-)

Great link. Love Elbow. Seen them live four times. Awesome.

[Jackdaw33]

I wondered that too.

I think that Jack was being ironic...

I'm with birdie, can't say I'm a fan. It may grow on me but it already has me to the point where I want to frequent the place less and less.
And how the Q&P gang continually post in News is beyond me. I've tried posting the odd frivolous comment when they do but it's falling on deaf ears.
Ho-hum.
