Like the new look to audiogon ?

Those photos are the view when you’ve got your head up your rear. Audiogon. And the format too.  And the search engine.

This new look for the classifieds is terrible. It’s called the ’gallery’ style. And it’s a poorly done version of it. Craigslist offers a button for choosing which style to view: list, thumbnail or gallery. Far superior!

This new layout totally misses the point of ’browsing’. Previously, if a potential buyer was searching for a specific product, they might stumble upon something else for sale by the same manufacturer.  I've purchased many things that way.  Now, it's gone.

Just searched Naim and sorted by Price: High to Low. Prices in order are $900, $2499, $1499, $3595, $1250, $995, $1200, and $2495....

That’s it. Just 8 (unsorted) Naim items and then I’m presented with Transparent cables and Martin Logan speakers and a Rod Stewart record. Seriously, WTF!

I like Rod Stewart and all but a Rod Stewart record is far from a Naim product.

I’ll add another down vote for the new gallery style ads. Don’t like it. I need to be able to see the list view, as I’m not willing to spend the time it now takes to try to scan laterally and vertically through all the ads. It’s too hard to pick out the brands/items I’m interested in. Other sites still have standard list view.

Dang, it's even worse than I thought.  Now, it appears that, while viewing a certain category, there is no search field up above into which I can type a brand name, i.e., Revel.  How am I supposed to find what I am looking for?

What a terrible terrible idea this was. It’s really bad.
