I'm guessing that's a bug and will likely get fixed
Why do the devs feel the need to constantly change everything?

Thank you for the reply Martin. In a way I hope so.
Just one example: It used to be, until recently, that when reading the forums on PC, if I wanted to get a quick snapshot of a user who had posted, I just click his or her username, and it shows rating and basic profile info. If I wanted to actually reach the user's profile, I had to click again, and only then would it take me away from the page I was looking at. It made sense. It was convenience, and I got used to it. Now that suddenly works differently, and my ingrained patterns are going to take a while to adjust.
This is only the most recent example, and while it is not site breaking for me, it is just one in a long line of changes that seem completely arbitrary and ultimately pointless, adding no actual benefit or value to the chess.com experience, just one more thing to have to adapt to.
There have been other changes as well, from the way game review is displayed, to the addition of pop-ups suggesting to add friends, to the super annoying delay of the first chess board sound effect in a chess game when a page loads, to where I hear the "game start" sound AFTER I have already made my first move....
The list goes on.
1. WHY do the devs have this incessant need to change things that work just fine, and
2. WHAT are some other examples of seemingly arbitrary, unnecessary, or even detrimental changes you can think of that were just suddenly present one day.
