Meetup.com's strange UI devolvement

I do not know how big of an operation meetup.com is, but it seems clear to me that they do not employ a front-end developer normally, but probably just takes one in for a couple hours per year.

A new look has been launched some time ago that has removed all possibilities to format text for meetups, and just today I noticed that if you post a long comment, it will simply say that your post is too long and ask you to try again.

It used to say, even after the UI remake,  that your comment is too long together with info on what is the max amount of characters. That has now been removed. I'm baffled as to why they do not pay more attention their UI.

Also now, you cannot see all participants of a meetup, if it is more than eight. Well, as an admin you can by clicking an obscure link. It's like things just fall by the wayside.
