Changes noticed after software upgrade

When you click on a username, you no longer have the option to "View Gallery"; now, it's an "improved" 2-step process over the former 1-step-holycrapitsrighttherehowconvenient! process.

Now:

Click on username
Click on View Public Profile
Albums are listed below


Before:

Click on username
Click on View Gallery

What an improvement. Sarcastic? Yes. Critical? Yes. Do I know what I'm talking about? Yes. I've helped with several software/version rollouts in my day. Some small business stuff, etc. like when the Social Security Administration made its entire site available in Spanish... ya know, small stuff.

I'm not trying to bash Adrian or any other Admin/Mod, but for as many people as use this site, a list of changes going in to effect would have been very nice. Details would have been great, but I asked "what buttons and/or functions are being moved and/or changed?" and was told it was only additional features.

So now the hunt is on.... who can find the most retarded change? If I did, then it's pretty minor, but in my opinion is definitely a step backward.

I found this part amusing. It's located in your mini statistics under your user profile. I had no idea you were so anti-social

Edit: What's a visitor message?

I am on a Ravens site that runs this same software. I still haven't figured out the benefit of adding someone to the friends/buddy list. It's not like it helps you send PM's or anything. There is no little secret icon that lets you know you are viewing a friends post(like you wouldn't know that already) , so I am not sure what it is supposed to accomplish for us.

I get the same thing Pete. Try to attach something to this thread. The attach button works the same, and it says I attached it, but nothing came through in the thread. See if you have any better luck. Maybe we found a bug.
