To be fair, I think that now on balance the functionality is slightly 
improved over the old version, because you can search the member list.

The formatting is somewhat annoying, though reverse time order with no 
ability to customise is hardly unprecedented on the internet.

I see one advantage in the white space, too: it's more work-friendly.  
Personally, I would like *all* our groups to superficially resemble 
boring technical MS Word documents or spreadsheets, though I'm sure 
many would disagree.
