I agree with DewDiligence:

"Please restore the old format or a lot of people will bid iHub adieu. After 10 years and 75,000 posts, I think know what I’m talking about.

You're wasting time soliciting people's opinions about how to tweak the new format. Just restore the old format...period. It wasn't broken."

Change should only be made if the users or customers are asking for it!

Following the herd is not "innovation". Nor is "change" necessarily better. This 3 column format is following the herd to be like the other ad infested websites.

Please reconsider. It was MUCH better the way it was.

I'm not a business guru, but thinking you're the best and never changing ends up being a recipe, imvho, for stagnation.

Simply brilliant! Do as I suggested: turn the text in the message column upside down. Make the Unrelated Discussion column very bright purple. Make the Profiles We Aren't Interested In column red, and make it flash.

Nothing stagnant about that, eh?

That worked great for Netflix a while back when the CEO nearly ruined the company and there was a mass exodus of customers over the planned split between CDs in the mail and online access into two separate fees.

If it ain't broke. don't fix it. The only thing I see with this move is a reduction the space on a page devoted the reason customers are here. That is REGRESSION!!!! That is in no way an improvement of the customer experience. It is more like raising taxes, no one wants it.
