exactly, evenmore the interface is so simplified, that it is even hard to miss any buttons. Though I like old interface much much more.

Or being dropped on the head when they were wee ones. How hard is it to test those bloody 6 buttons. I'm gonna assume it's easier then logging on and posting on a forum.

I agree. But then, in the first place, what the hell is there a simple/detailed button in the first place? Why would anyone NOT want the detailed view? And even if they did, why on earth would it justify creating a button just to hide a couple of options? That's beyond me.

I like the simple button; once I know what I won't ever be able to buy; I like having the view reduced to the things I currently have the potential to buy.
Far too many people speak their minds without first verifying the quality of their source material.

I prefer the simple view, but that might be because i don't like how the building icons look, especialy when they're all red.

Well, TT, i don't understand why you prefer the "less info"-option this time =)

What you can't build is Red, what you can is not. In simple, they simply remove the Red things. That way, you cannot see what you will unlock when building. That's so similar to the "no documentation on skills you will unlock" that i don't get why you're so strongly in favour of one and use the other.

The problem isnt that there is less/more info button.The problem is that less info is the default.

I don't know, the way the full option looks annoys me (if i could only have 1 I would chose the "full" one, i just don't like its look). But DL is right, it should be on "more info" by default.
