User blog comment:BertH/Layout and navigation updates coming October 3/@comment-3444778-20121003133637

Message walls, check. Grid & layout, check. New search, check. New forums, soon to be check. Am I the only one who likes the new updates!? The message walls made it loads easier to leave messages for other people, and maybe that was just because I wasn't a fan of the talk page system. The grid and layout just look better with the updates, it's not like it ruins peoples lives as so many imply, let alone change the functionality of anything. The new search I hated at first, but I'm growing to like it more and more as I use it; it just took some getting used to, and I must say, the fact that the "autocomplete list" pops up more quickly, a change that came with this past update, is what really sold me. The forums are just plain needed, it's actually like a forum instead of a long list of misplaced indents and oddly-colored newbie signatures.

I like the new Wikia updates. I think they're smart, and quite necessary for keeping Wikia fresh, new, and well, updated. Even if they take some users a long time to get used to. If you don't like the look, get someone to mod the CSS if you can't do it yourself. If you don't like the function, ease into it; use it a little bit at a time until you can get used to it. Technology is changing at an incredible pace, and if you don't like things to change, you really shouldn't be on the internet.

And don't bother arguing that this is "bad change" or whatever, it's completely a matter of opinion. But the way I see it, the change is perfectly fine, you just don't give the effort to get used to it. Pretend it won't be reverted and give it a chance. As far as bugs go, Wikia will eventually fix them, they are working hard on it, just hush up and stop complaining how your life is falling apart because they're not providing a completely free service fast enough for you.

Sorry, just needed to get that out. The same thing happens in comments every time a major update rolls around: people whine.
