Like the new look to audiogon ?

Most here don't seem to like change. I have been here a long time and it seems that everytime Audiogon makes changes they believe will better the site, people cry foul, question their motives, whine, pout and threaten to leave forever because the grass is always greener (at US Audio Mart, etc.)......
What I have mostly seen is that Audiogon listens to the feedback (especially if provided constructively) and then continues to modify and improve based on what users are saying. I have every confidence they will get this right eventually.
In this case, I agree with most that the tile layout is cumbersome and the "looking through a porthole pictures are simply dumb." I get that paying more gives those advertisers an upper berth while the others are below decks, but I suggest simply omitting the pictures for ads that are not upgraded. Giving us the option for a "classic (i.e., list) view" is a good recovery, but a beta run of the new layout and request for feedback would have been a more effective approach since there are some pretty smart folks here that would have appreciated the respect of being asked their opinion and the opportunity to weigh in on a trial version.
If it ain't broke......

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. 

Can't say as I disagree on them having the option of grid view Mapman.
What was/is ludicrous is that they would roll out some half baked attempt that satisfies NOBODY.
in today's fast moving world you rarely get a chance to make matters right after such a serious disaster without suffering some pretty large consequential damages.

I just sold an item on audiomart that I would have listed here.
