We'll, all I'm saying is make them available to all and make it easier to switch back and forth.

No, having different interfaces for different people is one of the major causes of complexity that causes problems for the site. Eventually it will be Panels only.

I switched years ago and I've never felt any need to switch back. Once you get used to Panels you won't miss the crappy old interface.

I would say BoB is better, but after a few stubborn weeks I was happy enough with panels. Most of my clan members never used BoB much and are happy with panels. I do think it's better that everyone uses the same system as it removes confusion. They're also not slow and, once you have them set up how you like, it's all gucci.

Different sets of code running, which don't always play well with each other. Extra parameters the server has to check, which contributes to the lag.
