I haven’t been to Baen’s Bar in a few days, and now I come back and discover it’s ugly. I am seriously disliking the new interface, mostly because it no longer has sidebars. The Bar used to be partitioned into three little windows, with the root listings to the left and the biggest window for viewing the post you’d selected. You didn’t have to keep backing up and refreshing to get to different posts.

I got so used to convenience of Baen’s sidebars that I spent only a day on OWW, because the interface annoyed me. Now both interfaces annoy me.

Whatever. I’ll get used to the new set-up. Because I am a creature of habit, I hate new interfaces reflexively. But still, this time I think they’ve really lost something.

ETA: Five minutes later, I’m already getting used to it. Maybe not so much that I’m a creature of habit as that I’m leery of the unknown. Now that I’ve wandered around a bit, it’s not so new and scary.
