The new layout is horrible.

With a fixed reply/page navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, an awkward "table of contents" bar that pops up at the top of the screens, and fixed-picture and video adverts popping up all over the screen (that, more often than not, cause my computer to freeze), FT has become a completely jumbled and unreadable mess.

On the opening page of any thread, well over 2/3rds of the screen is filled with ads and meaningless navigational "aids."

Why I am still here and even posting is beyond me (heck, I can barely even type out this message with all of the idiotic "auto-saves" and, presumably, ads that temporarily freeze my screen). I must be enamored with inflicting aggravation upon myself.

So I give up.

Well done, FT and IB. You've taken a product that was once great and the leader of its "industry," and completely made it unviewable and, by extension, unusable.

You won't miss me when I'm gone, and I probably won't miss you much either. But if you ever wanted to know why I left, feel free to read this post over and over and over again.

And then feel free to ignore it, just like you have done with everyone else's comments too.
