I hate the new Stuff

Stuff have released a new version of their website today, and i hate it.

I really enjoyed being able to quickly and easily see the news of the day at a glance, and without any hassle.

Here are my main gripes with the new layout

1. Their new main page is so cluttered with ads, sponsored links and pictures that slide away or are in your face that i cannot work out what i am meant to be looking at, my eyes are drawn to so much crap that i cannot process any of it
   
2. I cannot read the text as easily as i could before and find myself having to up size it - which you can only do once you have selected a news story to read, not sure if this is because they have reduced the size of the text or just the new Font is so hard on the eye.
   
3. The colour scheme on the "tool" bar is distracting and ugly (although beauty is in the eye of the beholder
   
4. Once you have entered a section of the website ie) business or technology, you cannot move between sections without going back to the main page
5. It is heaps slower to the load pages....
   
6. To use any of the customisable features you have to "log in" i have enough sites that i have to log into that i truly do not want another
7. I have to scroll miles down the page to see the national news headlines, and only two of them have a small amount of writing under the title to give you a feel for the article, I used to be able to scan these and know if i wanted to read the article or not
8. It is so so cluttered. I know i mentioned this in point 1 but it annoys me so much it deserved a second mention
9. I miss the headline pictures that faded in and out... i always looked at them to see what the headlines where for each section of the paper... now i have to scroll all the way down the page to each section to see them
10. I hate it when Advertising gets in the way of the purpose of a site... Advertising is a necessary evil to pay for a website, but when it distracts you from reading the news with sponsored links etc all over the show, then you know you have gone to far!

Stuff was voted the best news website for several year in a row (or something like that) if it was already the most popular as it was, so then why would you change it? I can understand the need for refreshing screens and updating to keep with the times, but that could have been done with minor upgrades that would have gone largely un-noticed, now the site looks more like all the other news websites, the ones that i didn't like which is why i read stuff.... does anyone know of a better news website i can use, as stuff no longer works for me :(
