Mostly I don’t have a for/against opinion on format changes. I don’t love something just because it’s new, and I don’t hate something just because it’s different. All I really care about is how well it works. And the new, smaller font size in the...

The new comment compression thing that only shows a few words of each comment until you click to expand it is a complete pain in the posterior. Please provide a way to turn it off and just show all the damn comments all at once like in the olden days.
