I would have to agree. I'm one of those people who firmly believe in the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
TERB looked, worked, and was great the way it was. This "new and improved" version is confusing, counter-intuitive, and off-putting. It's not just the colours, it's the placement of everything. It's all off. Whenever a website radically changes itself, the owners always say the same thing: "Oh, you'll get used to it."
Well ... if you have to "get used" to something, doesn't that mean it isn't the best to begin with? Why have to put thousands of members through the difficulty of having to re-learn how to use their favourite site ... and risk that *not* being their favourite site anymore in a hurry because they're getting pissed off with trying to figure out where everything is ... or just plain old not liking how it looks because they preferred the previous look better? Facebook lost a ton of users (myself included) when they rolled out the "new and improved" Facebook that sucked compared to the old format, and refused to listen to millions (literally) of angry users who complained.
I hope that this is a "trial run" and that the previous TERB is restored. Please Fred Zed, if you're listening, old TERB was way better than new TERB, let's have it back, okay hon??

Romani, you hit the nail on the head. I couldn't agree with you more!
