The point is that the 3 column format has become standard in this market.
One more time, in WHAT market? In the financial message board market? THAT is IHub's market, and this annoying format is NOT standard.
This change in no way undermines the core of iHub and the goals we have to allow discussion positive, neutral or negative.
And where will that discussion take place? In the three-inch wide space allotted to messages now? So people get to scroll endlessly if the message is more than a few lines long? Many will just give up.
