I am very active in my groups, and spend several hours every day navigating the group page.
Over the last months, I have been getting more and more annoyed by the bad design choices aplied to the group page. Since the update, the amount of clicks required from me to perform my daily routine, has been almost doubled. In stead of making the interface faster to navigate, a lot of unessecary things have been added. Read below to find out what parts of the site need to be changed.

Read the group description: Increased by one click.
The issue: This is a problem for me, as most people don't bother using extra effort to read my group desc, making them miss important information.
How to solve: Increase the amount of text showed at the group page, or make it all viewable at once.

Checking how many members a certain rank has: Increased by one click.
The issue: For me, knowing how many people are in each rank has been very important . Be it for countering admin attacks, or just making sure the hiarchy is how it is suposed to be.
How to solve: Change back to the original system, like the one used to browse the places on a players profile.

Swiching to one of the groups further down in the alphabet: This now requires 2 clicks.
The issue: Takes up much of my time and does not show me the groups I care about first.
How to solve: This could be solved by letting users choose what groups they want displayed first, or have the most used groups at the top.

That concludes it for the bad stuff, even if the group page is more compact, it is more time consuming than it has to be.

I would like to point out that I like how much faster it is to browse the pages of wall posts.
I would not mind if the allies and enemies buttons were moved somewhere else.
Same for the group admin, leave group, make group primary/remove primary and advertise this group buttons.

Comments about why you agree/dissagree apritiated.

Tl;Dr: The group interface is more complicated and tine consuming than it has to be. Reasons and how to solve them above.

ROBLOX always has to keep going, and this one of the many changed things. Next time ROBLOX has to think if things get better or worse before they just change something tho,

It isn't that much of a change to me. I mean, those two clicks only cost about 20% more time, and the page is less buggy. Before, you often had things mess up, such as the ranks, someone would not show up properly, or everyone would be placed 50 pixels next to where they should. That no longer happening means more to be than those two clicks.

I can't stop laughing at all the people that want the group thing back...I want old roblox back when you could save the place on exit if it was yours, and build with friends...Now it's come back with Personal Servers as a BC option and that too, it saves over time...
