I just gave you another karma bump to put you in the positive. Good to have a buffer! I don't use facebook so know nothing about it, so I guess I'll be learning a lot on the new site. I will friend anyone who wants to because, as you say, you are all my friends here!
I'm fine with the new look and feel of the site, but a bit frustrated with how much of it doesn't work. There really shouldn't be so many buttons that don't do anything. If I were a new user checking out this site, I wouldn't be impressed and probably wouldn't come back. Those of us who are invested in the community will, of course, make it work. But I think it was a mistake for TQS to roll out a new site that wasn't thoroughly tested and working. I know it looks bad to say you are rolling out a new site and then continuing to delay, but better to delay and get it right than put it out before it works and losing members. Sorry to be negative, but that's my honest assessment of the site so far.
I totally agree with you, Nancy, you have fully expressed my feelings about the rollout of the new site and while those of us who have been members for several years appreciate the potential benefits TQS has to offer and will deal with the less than successful rollout, a new member would not only not come back but is likely to tell friends about the experience too.
Well, it looks like I will be spending more time on TQS while I learn to navigate everything. The last few years I've gotten pretty quiet. I read the forum almost every day (and the blogs, which now seem to be gone) but rarely comment. 
I agree with you about the friend thing - but as it's there I guess we will all be doing it before too long. It feels kind of childish to me, like something that is so important to my kids on FB.
