I’m not adverse to change. But if this is a new format it’s terrible. Posts don’t have date/time stamps on them. It makes it much harder to figure out where I left off reading last time. It’s also harder to discern posts from one another.
In the words of the immortal Dennis Eckersley, “Yuck.” I hope David OverPriced doesn’t find out I said yuck.
Add: After looking very closely after magnifying the screen I noticed there is a faded date/time stamp. I don’t have vision problems.

Agree with RJM. Much harder to read.
I don’t like it either

Only you could come up with that conclusion.

I know. It’s both a gift and a curse. 😀
Aren't we under enough stress already?
I think the date of a post is very useful! I like to know how old the information is that I am reading. I like the old format much better,
I own a small software company. I can tell you that users who are comfortable and familiar with an interface NEVER, EVER like changes to it. That said, I hate the new format.
Something else I’ve also noticed. I haven’t seen a PG ad in the right hand margin for a while. Is the site going broke?
I am getting flashbacks from the horror of switching from WindowsXP to Windows7. It is going to take me a while to get used to this format.
From what I know, MN-MOM is running it on donations. The donation icon/link is up there, this is a good time to make that known.
Thanks for mentioning the change in color of the date/time stamp. I don't like it either and will see if I can fix it!
UPDATE: Coronavirus or not, I believe I have fixed the font color for the date/time stamp! 
And anotherparent is correct, the site is supported by...
Primarily my personal bank account/ credit cards...
And secondarily by occasional donations by members. And those donations are very much appreciated. :-)
One other thing about the new format versus the old. The. Avatars are now gone. I used to be able to tell where I left off last time by looking for avatars. It’s a lot harder to find the bookmark now.

Agreed--a return to larger avatars would be helpful, if possible. (And thanks MN-Mom for making the time stamp easier to read. And for all you do to keep the site operating!)
I agree, I liked the larger avatars better also. This one is a little tougher to fix but I will look into it.
(Our software and hosting provider makes updates automatically that sometimes include styling changes, and I have to override them with custom CSS if we don't like the change.)

Just a note that the phrase "custom CSS" kind of makes me break out in hives. I run an online news site of my own, so am sympathetic and appreciative of what you do. Let me know if I can help. As long as it doesn't involve coding.
