The interface that drops down the question part of the message (little down
arrow to the left of the message subject) is quite useful so you don't
really have to open it. Also there is info about how many people have
viewed it, whether or not it is already answered (some people here could use
that information) and the name of the last person who responded. For
example, if I see the Giovanni responded to someone about an STL problem I
can feel pretty safe that he's already taken care of the problem. I may
read the response to see what he said so I can learn something, but it's
nice to know the questioner is already in good hands :o)

I'm not trying to be an advocate or anything, just trying to find some good
in the change.

Yes, some of us have been through all that. :-)

However, this time we are offered a less useful interface that takes more
time to work.

In my news reader each entry takes only one line, and I can browse all the
threads at once, perhaps looking for replies from interesting people.

In the forum, I have to first click on each thread to see who is posting.
Then scroll much further to see each entry. For a long thread that is just
a LOT of scrolling. And why do we need a Reply button for each entry,
instead of the one I have in my menu bar? And MVP medals, come on!

If it was "New And Improved" I would buy that, but just new? No thanks!
