Like the new look to audiogon ?


Noticed this morning that a change happened on the site.   

If you go the category section and click on Amps / Solid State,  you then see all the thumbnails of the amps that are for sale.          Its a little confusing as first you see the BOOSTED LISTINGS, then after that is the FEATURED LISTINGS.....then you see ALL THE SOLID STATE LISTINGS. 

Gone is the category view of the listings......

Pretyy much all other sites got it right by now ie offer choice of list or grid view and grid view shows a thumbnail picture the seller chooses for no extra cost.  No thumbnails displayed are obscured.   

Also provide comsistent search capability regardless of view type. 

I've been wanting a grid view for fast searches on Agon forever.   Now is the chance to get it right. 
Hopefully Agon has some viable technical option to rollback the site to prior state if needed.  

They definitely need to issue some kind of statement that addresses the apparent widespread concerns.
Uber I am not currently.

Hopefully Agon takes some action to help pacify those who are affected and squares away what is needed sooner rather than later.

I would not want images in an ad I payed for intentionally obscured because I did not pay to have them not obscured. that is just outright dumb. Agon should consider offering  credits for those ads but still keep them running until normally complete.

Also if I were agon I would provide these major enhancements in an optional preview site for feedback and not jsut drop major changes on customers out of nowhere totally unexpected.

That is what the company I work for which maintains a major and prominent web site does. You have to value your customers feedback and opinions and use it to guide what is done, not jsut drop something new on everyone because somebody somewhere thinks its a good idea.
I'd hate to see it but it would not surprise me if the forums were nixed.
How about people take a chill pill and give Agon a chance to work things out?

Yes it was poorly done as it was last time they made a major change several years back and everyone complained but guess what people are still here.
Thunbnails in grid view is great and way past due.  Obscuring the images is counterproductive, tacky, wasteful, insulting. Take your pick.   Fix that.   Have a list option too.
