I admit  I am not a person who readily embraces change.

No I didn't switch over when it was first offered.

Yes I was one who was forced to switch.

I do not like the "new layout" :

1.  I can't chat any longer with my friends. For some reason my version doesn't have that capability. Yes my IE is current and my Firefox is the recommended version as well. Still no CHAT!

2. It TAKES twice as long to load my page! Not faster but slower than promised.

3. Everything keeps freezing...every other site is fine but now Facebook just freezes all the time!

For something I "will get used to" and Facebook "is counting on this all calming down over time" I can tell you that unless the problems are fixed soon I will give up going to the site at all.

It isn't worth the hassle of the time it takes to load and constantly restarting my computer when it freezes.

And for the people complaining that this isn't news:    

I thought the premise behind iReport was partially so that we, as a public, could have the ability to express ourselves on topics we are interested in and that directly impact our lives?
