I don't like it. Maybe I'll get used to it, but so far I'm not impressed. Like Thoroughbred Times did a while back, the site might look prettier, but its' a lot harder to nagivate.

Change is bad! *LOL*

lol I agree...Maybe they listened to the suggestions of their diehard customers. But for people like me who only casually visit the site to read the news and buy PPs once or twice a week, its a little too much murk to wade through.

I think that the marketing department had a large say in the change.  The new format makes it so much easier to purchase the various handicapping products that DRF has available.  The news and other information sort of takes a back seat.

I have a basic plan with DRF and it took me forever to figure out where to download the PDF version of PPs yesterday (not Formulator PPs, just the basic sheets).

I like the way it looks, and I like that you can share articles now.  However, if what you want to do is go through the news articles one by one, it now seems extremely difficult.  With the old site, I liked that they were all stacked on top of each other.  All I had to do was remember the title of the last article I read, and I could pick up where I left off and read the new ones.  With the new format, it seems all too easy to miss an article.  Do I really have to go track by track?  Yuck.  Way more navigation than there needs to be.

You hit the nail on the head. You spend way too much time looking for stuff now, with the new setup.
