Today is the first time since "the changes" that this site recognized me, didn't require me to log in fresh each time, or to yet again accept the terms of usage again, and it hasn't gone to missing pages when I click on a discussion thread, as it did for the past couple of weeks on about 1/3 of the links I tried.
I'm not sure if they got rid of a techie who designed or maintained the site, but something happened that made it hard to use. Someone had suggested that my accessing the internet with Internet Explorer was the reason I was finding it unstable, but didn't explain why. That doesn't appear to be an issue for me as of today, either. We'll see how it goes.
