What the heck is up with the audiogon listing photos?


Can anyone explain the mostly obscured thumbnails in the gear listings? I'm talking about the tiny circle thumbnails in front of blurred backgrounds. Is this site flaw supposed to be a feature, or is this the new "base" listing, where one has to pay additional for an unblurred image?

User experience. You're doing it wrong.

It's a totally artificially barrier to perception that you apparently have to pay to remove.  AKA dumb and exploitive.
Ignore them. Click on the apparently kept secret icon to restore 'classic' view. It does not get rid of the bubble photos, but it does return to a list BELOW the pictures So you can actually scan the ads.And where is said icon?? chose a catagory, click to it. Like SOLID STATE amplifiers.. the line that reads solid state.. to the right a window to sort by: Well to the right of that box are three lines and down arrow. click. then choose 'Classic view' If you stay logged in Audiogon will remember it for you next time.
I cannot believe you have to pay extra for the fisheye photo.... it is so dumb.
