I already hate this website

End of discussion.

You guys can complain about it all you want, but I was going to ask some questions about balance sheets, “water cooler” seemed to be the only good place because of the “trust level”, and now I’ve found I can’t even comment on discussions in that thread.

If you wanted talking about corporate finance to be even more byzantine, well, good job: you succeeded.

I miss the old layout of AF.

Sounds frustrating! Hopefully, the rules get clarified soon. You should be able to engage with corporate finance discussions without all the extra hassle.
