*squish*
Welcome, Nicole. It's nice to see you, I'd missed you lots!
About the change; change cna be very disconcerting at first, and god knows that I'm still not comfortable with it - but realistically, RYL 2 couldn't have lasted much longer, it was on its' hypothetical death bed.
It can be very intimidating, there are a lot of areas and extras on here that I don't even go to/use, and I've been here for a month or so now.
Another thing is that right now, it looks horridly clinical - like we're waiting in a doctors or a dentists office. Harley is in the process of getting some new "skins" in, meaning that hopefully, it'll look much less regimented and... unfriendly.
In the meantime, lovely Nicole, remember that we're all in the same boat as you right now. We're all struggling with this change, and while some are coping better than others, it's not RYL right now - it's still RYL v.3. Give it a month or two - remember how hard the changeover from Ruin to Recover was?

Again I say, it is lovely to see you my dear. xoxo
