TC3 woes

The new site is a disappointment to say the least.
When looking at a list of caches you only see 9 caches listed per page. If you get to, say page 5, and you click on a cache to go to the cache page, when you hit the browser back button it takes you all the way back to page 1, NOT the page that cache was listed on. What makes this even worse is the fact that each page is so slow to load. You are wasting a lot of time just waiting for things to load. This applies to the whole site! Wait for every page to load.
When I clicked on my public profile link and then click on my owned caches they are scrambled and each page will have some repeats from other pages in the list. You cannot see all of your own owned caches.
When I go to the cache hunt page the map "loads" caches for the nearest 100 miles, then it keeps loading a 1000 caches and loading another 1000 caches. Wasting time again. When doing filters it seems as though there is a disconnect between the different selections available. I selected owned and all of my hides showed (regular caches and locationless caches), then selected locationless and puzzle. Guess what happened? None of my puzzle caches showed. In fact none of my caches showed at all. Owned seems to be disconnected from the search if you select any other option to search by.
I checked the toolkit and found an old cache of mine listed waiting for approval or editing or something, but there is no indication of why it is there. Best guess is there is a picture missing, but don't know for sure why it is there.
Some of our LC need CC codes to log, but the cache page does not tell the finders that the code is needed nor is there a place to enter the code when logging.
How are the MCE scores determined? I see no place to rate the cache when I click on "add log". And what is it with the Facebook thumbs up or thumbs down? If you like the cache PAGE you give it a thumbs up? The LC caches now show an MCE other than a 5 which is good, but how to rate the cache is not known.
When you go to a cache page and click on the map it only shows that caches location on the map and not other nearby caches. I thought this was supposed to work so you could choose caches nearby to also hunt? Or can this only be done on the main map that loads ALL the caches listed on TC?
Please do away with all those over sized Icons! It makes me think you patterned the site after Windows 8 That everyone just loves so much!
For example, click on the nearby Geocaches to see how good the page could be.
TC1 wasn't that bad in the layout, but a complete redesign of the site doesn't quite get it.

I forgot to add to the above list that I use
GSAK and with TC1 I could sort the list of LCs and include not-found,
found and owned all in 1 grouping so when I did the GPX download I had a
list of all current LCs. To achieve the same results will now take 3
separate GPX downloads. Again TC1 functioned better for this.

Just tried to edit this post by changing text "size" and "bold". These were set by the site when I made the post and I cannot change them. It is only the first paragraph that was affected.
