Re: House Tour: This Renter Turned an NYC Apartment into a Parisian-Chic Bachelorette Pad
Posting and reading comments is just no fun anymore.
It's like having misplaced your keys and trying to remember where you left them when you're already late.

Re: Community replaces Comments?
I miss the comments linked directly with the stories. I enjoyed reading the perspectives of others, some of whom could really spot and suggest things I didn’t. I felt it really encouraged interaction, which I don’t feel exists with the new format - at least how it is now. So I’ve not been reading as many stories all the way through and not clicking on as many at all. Sad.
Re: Rules for commenting perhaps, or no comments
I totally agree — comments have been getting nastier and nastier — I can't imagine anybody who's ever read the comment section deciding to have their apartment featured. Why be cruel, people?
Comment procedure changes
I have no idea how the process works to make a comment on a feature - before, we could read through the article, view photos, and make comments at the end. For some inane reason, we are unable to do this anymore. (I now know that it is because there were some "nasty" comments. I remember a few, but not enough to cause a change this drastic.) So, how does this work? How do I know what long-time community members here think of the kitchen this gal did in Europe with the limewashed walls? Are these comments separated? Or, are they combined with ALL other comments? (looks to be that way.) Do I have to scroll through all of the other posts and the questions about decorating help, to find them? (update: I tried that, but I am not willing to scroll through a hundred pages of topics in which I am not interested.) AT, you are going to get far LESS participation here because your process is so obtuse and confusing. I have followed you for many years and honestly, keep coming back for the comments. So many of us have said that, so many times - why weren't you listening? Help us make sense of this, please. Perhaps you could give loyal readers some tips as to how this "new" idea of yours is to function, if in fact, that is the intent. Color me beyond disappointed. Edited to add: This is what I wrote before I realized what had really happened here. I doubt anyone at AT will care, but I have to say it. You saw what happened when some genius decided to paint all of the Cracker Barrels white inside, get rid of most of the memorabilia, eliminate Uncle what's his name, change the peg game to cheap plastic, and monkey with the menu. Sort of like the New Coke debacle they wish we would forget.
