I have also come to hate Drupal after using it for a year. I'm seriously considering moving to Wordpress and cutting our losses at my company with time wasted on Drupal. But specific to your suggestion to post in the forum, I tried and got a message saying that to decrease spam I wasn't allowed to and I should wait 765 (?) seconds and try again. 765 seconds? Why not roughly 10 minutes? Also, I see half of the questions in the section of the forum I was looking at are unanswered. At very VERY least, I would recommend that Drupal open a Discourse forum. That way, at least the forum would be usable and intuitive, if not Drupal itself. Sorry for the vitriol, but I'm really fed up with Drupal. Searching for documentation is also maddening.
I have a related question, and the forum isn't letting me post it as a new topic.
How do you align all cells in a table to the top? When I create a table, the images align to the top and the text aligns to the bottom.
