Is Google Paying Attention

I don't like the new layout and it's buggy.
And why is all that junk allowed? Dan

Try using a real news client. Still nothing better than good ol' Usenet,
using a text-based system like [insert name of diety here] intended.

Yes But. I'm looking at Google Groups, rec.photo.darkroom.
It looks BAD with all that Junk. Google should have skipped the
new format and spent the time working to block the Junk.
This and other Groups ARE members only? Dan

I also use Google Groups to check Usenet when not at
home. The new format is awful but workable once you get used
to it. For instance, the sign in for Google members shows up
at the far upper right corner so its easy to miss. Also, the
frequently visited groups now show up as a pull-down menu.
I am not sure what you are calling junk. I use Firefox
which allows blocking images so I am able to eliminate some
advertising on some sites. I also do not have Flashplayer on
the computer I use. While it has some legitimate uses it
seems most of the Flash stuff is animated advertising which
I find very distracting and annoying.
Google is still useful where one must access news
groups on a machine which has access to the web but not to a
news server.

How do you View As Tree in the new google groups? I can't tell who's
replying to whom...most annoying.

Once you selected a thread, click on "More Options" (upper right side
of the window) then on "Show Message List" (upper left side of the
window).
To remove the arborescence, just do the opposite ("Hide Message List"
and "Hide Options") ...
