Is anyone else frustrated with this new website?

[feelinlow]

I get so frustrated because it's so difficult to get around this new platform. Am I the only one?

No trouble what so ever, getting around perfectly fine.

I'm having trouble finding categories within the classified ads

 

[KohanMike]

On a computer, there's a long list of categories on the left side below the word Classifieds, on a phone, touch the three lines to the left of the word Classifieds. I've noticed that people who complain about the new site don't make enough of an effort to explore. Your title should have been, "How do I show Categories in Classifieds on my phone?"

+1000. "How do I do X in the new platform?" is WAY more constructive and will get you a better experience than "I don't like the new platform because I don't know how to do X on it."

I don't like it either, but it took about 30 seconds to figure out where everything is. I'm honestly not understanding the difficulty so many people seem to be having with it.

Overall it is not as easy to maneuver and over all not as satisfying experience as before. At least for me. I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same.

Not the only one but you may be in the minority.
In fact I like the changes, they're more in line with new interface options you see elsewhere and way overdue here.Things like automatically watching your content (it's a setting in your profile), and the New Ads option, an option to set the feed, etc. A lot more control. It just takes a little exploring.

 

[feelinlow]

I apologize. I will educate myself on this new platform.

I tried to edit the title but it did not change once I hit save.

Welcome! There are a few ways to help with that. There's a search function at the upper right if you're looking for something specific. You can also use the drop-down menu with "Forums" at the upper left to narrow down (I just go to "new posts" most of the time), or click "forums" itself to get the list of topical forums. Hope that helps.

ABSOLUTELY.

No problem here.

I am utterly disappointed with the new website. I feel the fun of coming on here is totally gone and I'm left with nothing but frustration and annoyance.

I get around the side as well as I ever did. My question is, are we doing updates overnight? Everything goes very very very slow after midnight for some reason site, not the side damn it...

 

[flatwound251]

Don't like the new website. The old website was much easier to navigate. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

 

[turf3]

Don't complain. Big Brother doesn't like complainers.

 

[Bassinthemudd]

I find it less intuitive than the previous platform, but I've also found some new features useful.

The thing I'd like most for the next update is separate classified categories for amps, preamps, cabinets, parts, strings and accessories.

i still dislike the new website, and i'm not alone - i get between 0 and 3 notifications per day now, where right up to the change, i got 30 or more most days. so there's less activity on any thread that isn't new.

and after all this time, i still find the new version of the board clunky, counter-intuitive, and i still hate using it. have i seen worse boards? yes. but this one used to be simple, easy and busier with more helpful posts for all. i considered it my internet home. now i come here maybe 5 times per week where i used to come to hang out, relax and post at least 5 times per day.
