I have reported errors and bad links and made comments about the changes.
I would have expected a polite response!

If users knew what WP was doing and why it would be helpful.

Yes IMHO consulting 50 million would not be feasible.

Settings that aside I don't have time to read pages of threads to isolate which changes you are expecting at this time. Have you listed them? If so please post a link. If not perhaps listing them here would be a good idea as then Staff will be aware of what your specific suggestions are.

Instead of making sudden changes WP should advise its users of impending changes and the reason behind them - is that too difficult?

Sat here at my PC, however, I'm still faced with huge pictures which are merely incidental to any mostly text-based post—that is, the majority of posts on the platform—and childishly large fonts and icons. This along with a navigation bar which is now formatted, for no apparent good reason, completely differently from that which appears above every other part of Word Press, and has completely different controls.

Colour me unimpressed.

There are still huge inconsistencies on the pages. Some have the old much loved black tool bar some have the hideous new blue one. Some links still don't work properly and redirect to the wrong page. There is no simple way to get to 'new post' if you don't want to use 'quick post'. Drop down menus don't work properly. Press stats from the dashboard and you still get the old stats page that was replaced with the updated version over a year ago.

I sat in front of my computer and compared the differences. The reader on the phone app is what you all wanted, but I want be looking at it there. I don't get enough internet download time here in Australia to be able to do that. Not all countries are the same as the US, and I have found that WP don't always seem to realise that.

@Staff, thanks for bringing back the footer links on at least some of the tabs. The addition of a link in the Admin bar to only my primary site is a help, even if it isn't a big help.

Last week we started to roll out some visual changes to WordPress.com and the WordPress.com Reader. We’ve been working hard on improvements in two key areas; making WordPress.com an amazing responsive experience on your mobile device and making sure we’re doing the best job highlighting all of the beautiful photos and videos you’re posting. A New Responsive Design for WordPress.com

1. Portrait images are shrunk to thumbnails regardless of their quality, images from slideshows not shown at all.
2. A post shown "starts" randomly either with a list of tags (???) or with the image. Btw, yes, if our eye can take it all in in one glance the "newspaper format" = "image with title below" makes sense. In a scroll page it is plain nonsense. So please put the title and blog-name back on top.

I must agree with you...I've been blogging multiple times a day for 11 months now.

I can't seem to find a good portion of the tools I used on a regular basis on this new format, and find that I spend a good deal of additional time trying to use the system in an easy, comprehensive way.

I spent an hour today trying to find all the support pages of building traffic. Has anybody seen where the PRweb (or was it wire) $89 press release offer has gone? It used to be on the left column...I think it was an incentive deal of WP users.

Thanks!

-Inconsistent UI across the WordPress.com platform: Check!
-Inability to scroll back to the top of the page by clicking on the blue bar in FF18: Check!
-Extra clicks needed to access our blog dashboards: Check!
-Inability to directly and quickly access other sections on WordPress.com (Forums, Support, News, etc.): Check!

I agree with with sterlingsop I don't want to write through the quick post function I want the proper page and I want to be able to access it easily.
