Comments in my profile are now grouped by article and then chronologically sorted. I prefer the original simple chronological sort without grouping by article. At least offer both presentation methods as an option rather than forcing the new approach on me.

Also the comment count and likes received are no longer easily visible and are hidden under Stats in the upper right hand corner. Stats must be clicked to reveal comment count and the likes received. Adding to the inconvenience is the "Likes received" is not tallied properly and shows zero.

Please fix these things. Thanks.

well, at least you're seeing current comments.  some of the folks whose comments i follow are seemingly stuck in 2020 and 2021 ... and these are prolific posters.

SA was so much better before they started trying to monetize every damn thing.  i understand why they did it but the change has turned the site into crap for the common freeloading joe, ie me, haha.

I too have been wondering why the stats show only zero for likes. Not that I'm hung up on that, but when you have  over ten thousand it is a head scratcher what's going on. So what's the deal?

Crickets chirping. Guessing that IT support is overwhelmed at SA so nobody has responded yet.

Bottom line: New is not always preferred. Give people choice. Also SA needs to test stuff before releasing it.

Here's a clue SA....if you want to start hounding people to fork over $$ for a Premium membership in order to read articles, you might want to offer a fully functional website first.
