can you give us a choice?
evidently someone is in love with his SA layout and thought these 'improvements' would be welcomed by all...
i hate it and wonder what you guys were thinking? was anyone pushing for a new look? common sense would AT LEAST have you give us an option to try out the new layout but always having the old one available.
this is financial information...data and news that help us make decisions on our investments...this isn't a video game or kids sight...(although it seems they are more capable of finding out FIRST what their users prefer)
whoever 'conned' management into thinking this was better and everyone would just be so thrilled...needs to get real...
this is crappy...without warning...right in the middle of a market crisis...are you guys nuts?
I agree. Listen to your customer base... the new website format is absolutely awful and causing people to leave! I don't want a workaround--bring the old layout back! Why do we keep seeing comments telling us how to use the new layout? The issue isn't that we can't use it.. it's that we don't like it! I know you guys (the SA team) are trying to be helpful--we love the site--just admit the new layout sucks and change it back or at least give us the option. This is a serious issue.
The comment I posted elsewhere with the main problems:
Dear SA Team,
The desktop version interface change is absolutely awful!
I love SA, and I have been posting/commenting for years, but this change WILL make me cancel my PRO account and leave if it's not undone. I hate to be negative guys--you really f****d this one up though!
Here are my top gripes with the new format:
1) The three market graphs were removed from the top of the splash page. I want to see the S&P, Dow, AND Nasdaq (all three) without having to click on them. I don't care how much the market is up or down... I want to see the price action!
2) Why the hell do I have to scroll all the way down the page to see my portfolio? It used to be so nicely put on the side and auto-sorted. I don't give a shit about the Quant rating, the SA Author rating, or the Wall St. rating--all I want to see is how much I'm up or down in each of my stocks. The new list doesn't even sort correctly automatically.
3) Why are my portfolio headlines all the way down and hidden? I don't care what the trending news or analysis is! If I wanted to listed to some idiots I'd turn on Fox news. Stop it!
4) What's with the giant text and spacing Mr. Magoo? There was no problem reading anything before! Now all I can see is less without scrolling. Just headline news! WTF!
Please, please change it back or at least create an option to display things the prior way through some sort of new user interface settings panel.
Your loyal but rapidly wilting fan,
Steve
