Comprehensive KudoZ update released

My first impression
is that of having changed a lot what makes things confusing and dropped worthful functions.

1. The whole layout is too complicated, too many things to observe when answering questions.

2. I cannot click on the name of an answerer and get to his profile. Annoying.

3. Too many kinds of glossary searches. Confusing.
The answers I get in 3 categories. Confusing.

I can´t even search only my own glossary. Annoying.

In general my first impression. Changes were made two rapidly , all at once. By adding too many functions it´s confusing for the user.

Proposal: Let the fundamental structure as easy a s possible and add the additional functions as(hidden)options.

A layout must be easy and clear and not overloaded with a lot of functions the users do not need normally.

The whole system has become more difficult to use. In particular it doesn't appear to recognise that I am a Platinum member and restricts me to 5 questions a day. The glossaries are difficult to use, when they used to be simple. Again, it doesn't recognise me as a Platinum member. Why pay for this membership when the system doesn't see it? Infuriating.

So far the changes to the kudoz seem very good, except for the option "not for points". I don't understand the reasoning behind this and it is my opinion that this option should be removed.

Something that could be a valuable addition would be the option to have an answer option to questions called "not for grading", which the asker would then obviously not be able to grade. These are frequently used to further explain an answer already supplied by a peer, without trying to hijack his/her proposed answer.
