Ahh, I haven't been able to figure out who got me sick. Why do you have to post so close to me Roy?!?
I give you guys a thumbs up on the changes, much less of a kick in the pants than the front page was. I don't see why either needed to be fixed (I know the roster/schedule buttons have been broken for years but stuff like that can be fixed on their own no?) but a conscious decision to accept something you have no control over is a huge first step towards liking it (as opposed to pining which I did extensively with the front page).
I've only seen visual changes so far, I'd be interested in hearing about these functionality improvements.
