When you write your post and it reads back like the owner’s manual of a 2024 Kia, you realize more is not always better.

TMI truly can be…TMI.

The new Reader layout sucks. Who signs off on this stuff?

When you know you hit the “Like” button…

Days are still getting shorter. And I’m still in the minority.

No Theme Thursday is still going strong. Very grateful 🙏

2,024 push-ups. I’m thinking this weekend.

Every once in awhile, something comes along to make you feel truly vindicated. If you’re right, eventually they’ll see it. Bonus satisfaction points if they learn the hard way.

    More is definitely not better! 🙄
    Plus not everyone has hours each day to read and decipher lol

    I didn’t realize there was a new reader, ugh. Something else that sucks, not like mobile is any better. 😆
    I know I hit that freakin “Like” button!
    And I know others who commented on my post hit the “Like” button!
    And it’s been happening more lately to me, I’ll go back and check a post I’ve commented on and not liked! wtf??

    2024 pushups….in solidarity 😆

    And I just realized it’s been awhile since your last one, and I still have lost a bet that I need one pay up on…
    It’s coming, I swear. 🤪

      PS – Learning the hard way is always the preferred method of our enemies receiving punishment for their misdeeds lol

        Not so much punishment, as proof I was right. That’s sometimes enough for me lol

      It’s not always, no. It’s kind of a “read the room” type of situation.

      When you click on a post, everything is offset to the right now, and it’s really irritating to me.

      The “Like” button is a perpetual issue, and from hat I gather, has been for some time now. It’s not going away, I’m sure.

      2024 – It’s a tomorrow plan.

      Yes, it’s been a few. 🤨

    Ah, the new changes! I clicked into a post and there was no BACK arrow. How do you go back to the Reader? I wrote to them, a day later, it looked like the BACK arrow was back. The other thing I noticed is that when you click on a post, the author name is not there. I wrote to the Happiness Engineers about that. So many issues. It shouldn’t be hard to create a post. Now, it takes forever to get to the dashboard. Anyhow, the old way was not broken, too bad they made changes. LOL – the notifications are at the bottom now?! That’s the first thing we check, and it’s at the bottom as an after thought. Thanks for letting me rant a bit. Well, since this is Gorilla HQ, it should be allowed, right. 😉

    I can’t stand the new reader. I now have to open it in a new tab and keep “my home” open in another to make jumping back and forth easier. These changes always feel like it’s someone trying to justify their job 😂

      They are not intuitive at all in my opinion. The old layout worked perfectly fine in regards to where everything was located.
