Question

A huge step backward--what are you guys thinking?

Is the new community your idea of an improvement? It is anything but an improvement. Several important threads I started have lost content. When I try and type a response, I can't see the entire response I am creating--it only allows me to see a couple of lines at a time.

I am a long-time Sonos user, and I feel that I have been slapped in the face. Sonos no longer has my endorsement.

      Also the website (Ars Technica) which you used to illustrate your argument, also illustrates another point under discussion. See that the site offers the following theme toggle.

      I have a lot of trouble with black on (lots of) white for the reasons already covered by Buzz.
      Ref my earlier two posts, see 'before' and 'after' pics.

      Yes, I noted that with some interest.
      I have tried to avoid too many Chrome extensions due to instability, but I do intend to give your suggestion a go. Thanks.
      Regardless, it would be best if the Sonos forum offered the option, just like the site referred to by Sonos John_M

      I'm similarly wary and, with the exception of ABP and a couple of security-related items, only load a handful of Google authored extensions.

      What we're working towards with this change is a solution that satisfies both groups.
      Good to hear that. I am finding that the experience here isn't very enjoyable though, so I will take a break and see if things are any different and less of a work in process when I drop back in next - unless I am forced to earlier for some troubleshooting assistance.

          If by "review" you mean alter, you need to do it with an hour of making the post. They are read-only after an hour.

          I had forgotten to turn off the emails so I got this reply - I have just turned those off:-).

          I am pretty sure that many of those likes, which I notice are shrinking like violets for some strange reason, are to posts moaning about the poorly implemented change, so they don't really count.

          I'll stop by once in a while to see if Sonos has made a significant upgrade to what is a lousy UI at this time, but I haven't the interest to stick around till that is done. It could take months, even if that happens.

          I think he means the preview mode from the forums, which allowed you to see the post as it would display to check formatting (specifically important for BBcode). The new platform doesn't support a preview mode but if this is a must-have to you, let us know.
