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......

They need to find out how many sales are to new members and how many are to long time members.  If the vast majority are to long time members they shouldn't be making major changes.

The changes they made don't help me find something.  'Featured listings' is a bunch of marketing junk that I have no interest in and probably will have me not visiting the site very often.

Thumbnail view is worthless - doesn't show the product at all.

I have a Simaudio LP 5.3 for sale on here.  If I type Simaudio in search and hit enter it doesn't even show up in the listings.  I have to type 'Simaudio' and then select Simaudio under 'Brand' for it show up.  I wonder how it works for more popular brands that have a lot more listings?

As others have said - they are trying to monetize the site but what they did was sign it's death warrant.

One of the ways search doesn't work as before is with standard initials - ie BAT, B&W (even though if you enter Bowers & Wilkins the brand shows up as 'B&W (Bowers & Wilkins)'.

I used to be able to double click in the search box and about 6 brands that I commonly searched for would show up and I could just pick one of those.  That's gone.
