I second that. I already don't like it because I am having to scroll back and forth to see the full screen. I miss the button at the bottom that takes me back to the main C3 section after you read the replies.

Was there a reason the change was needed? This looks way less slick than before in my opinion. I hate when forums I frequent do a major change like this. Oh well, I am sure I will get over it an dused to it...eventually.

- Still trying to change "Dropping the Clutch" - appears to be a generic field based on user profiles (e.g. year model owned, lenght of membership, etc.)?

looks like you are either "dropping the clutch" or "revving up"

Yea! I saw that "dropping the clutch" and wondered where that came from.
Not to crazy about the new look, but I guess it will grow on us.

I kind of like it, exept the part I have to scroll back and forth to see the full screen. Give it about a week or two you'll get used to it.
