Hi,  I still prefer the old layout and as requested here are my reasons why.

The layout is too busy.  Much too much going on.  The  pictures are a distraction to the text.  The fonts are difficult to read and I don't really bother reading the text in the new layout.  I tend to scan through the first few pages and then I have to make an effort to go through the rest. For me this new layout fixed something that wasn't broken.
