It is hard to get used to. I haven't decided if I like it yet or not.

Don't worry...you are not "crazy". Before Hawthorne, I regularly received over 100 comments per article. After Hawthorne, the visits/comments fell to about 60 or so; after ICE comments have declined further and now I'm lucky to get a handful, all of which I appreciate very much because these are people who want to read what I have to say, or are comments from those who appreciate the photos I have to share. Content is the most important aspect of Gather to me; points are secondary. I do wish we could get the "front page"/"Homepage" back---I can't understand how any website can function properly without a real homepage.

I think a lot of people took a little gather break after the summerpics promo.

I miss alot, so I have started slowly setting my notifications to get emails when my friends post. I get notified of posts, but still don't get notified of all pics posted.

I have been finding that I've overlooked some things. I do eventually get around to them, however, and I've been working my way back through people's older stuff.

I would like more variety on the "Explore" page and/or a homepage set up. As it is, "Explore" is limited in what can be found on it-- just the most popular/most discussed/most recent stuff.

I don't mind it, but I do wish they would stop with the changes so I have time to get used to things....:)

I think it's kinda sad that I have to scroll so far down to see what my friends are commenting on, too!

I don't know how new it is but I seen today that when you go over the person's icon on a post or whatever that it shows the words...I assume the ones we have typed in at the moment at the top of our profile.

It will be slow for a bit. Until the articles and stuff come back. I think many people may have gotten carpel tyunnel from all that picture posting they did. Lol. My wrist still hurt.

No, I don't think it's just you. I haven't been able to spend nearly as much time as I would like on Gather lately and it seems every time I come back, there is another change and I am lost again. Maybe one day I will get used to this and find a way to find everyone's stuf again.... but then it will probably change again by then! :)
