New Hint View Display Feedback
Just noticed a change was made to the hint view section when viewing a hint. The changes that were made really need to be undone. For those who haven't noticed they changed the hint display from displaying in a 2 col display with events on the left and dates on the right to just having everything display in a long list.
As an example
Old display: (grabbed an old screenshot for this, so its a bit pixilated)
New Display:
This change really isn't good. It is much harder to view info at a glance as the dates/names are all mixed in with the events. It is also almost 50% longer for no good reason. When a record has many entry's it becomes quite bad and you end up having to scroll a bunch when before that wasn't needed.

@jaredallenjohnson1 I am not an expert at knowing why FamliySearch changes the format of certain displays, but I do know that it is almost always an attempt to make things better and easier for those of us doing research. Change is always hard, but I find that once I get used to a new format, I often like the changes better than I thought I would. I am happy you pointed out this change so users can try them out. There is a feedback button on many pages in FamilySearch, and you are welcome to add your thoughts there, detail is always appreciated and the feedback is read and considered. Best of luck in your research!
