User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/The first migrations to the Unified Community Platform/@comment-1936167-20201007061203

My feedback on this 'migration' is clearly the same as everyone else's I'm seeing here. I'm incredibly disappointed with this update. I've been active on Wiki/Fandom sites for over 10 years now and I've seen some really ungodly changes over the years, but this one definitely takes the cake for the worst and most unnecessary.

Navigating through the wiki activity, the comment section, and the site as a whole is so tedious and confusing now. The large boxy format of the comment section is such an eyesore and makes this site look as though we've technologically regressed back into a message forum from 2007. The Wiki activity page used to be the main stomping ground I would use for quickly skimming through all the community activity and now, all I do is strain my eyes looking at the unnecessary cluster of comment links. It's blatantly disorganized and messy to view; there's nothing progressive or beneficial about the way it looks now.

Honestly, site and layout updates should be about revamping and modifying the platform to make it more convenient to use, but this has only made browsing more inconvenient, accessibility more time consuming, and the general site more unappealing. I know that the migration itself must have been an incredibly daunting task to carry out, but I really want there to be a way for communities that don't want this new layout to be able to revert back to the way the site used to look. The way I see it is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
