If anybody hates the new iGoogle like I did. Go to http://www.google.com/ig and paste: javascript:_dlsetp('v2=0'); into the navigation bar. Oh and fortunately for google, the new cuil sucks so far!

Oddly I guess I was still using the old one. Switching to v2=1 turned it on, and well I turned it right back off.

Some peoples automatically updated and others stayed the same. It is weird. The latest version is defiantly not as user friendly.

Sounds like what facebook has been doing.

The main problem was that there wasn't the restore button (small plus sign) on each tab. The only way to expand the gadget was to use the edit button. Inside the edit pull down was the expand option. Once you were done looking at the gadget the only way to minimize was to click the same edit button and expand again.
Other problems were the format of the page. The tabs at the top of the page were now taking up a quarter of the page on the left side.
Just a bunch of little things that added up to be one big pain.
