Like the new look to audiogon ?

I would say the masses are revolting.

Well I tend to say that about most people regardless but you get my drift.

Will be interesting to see if Agon can recover from this.....

what person could have thought this would qualify as an upgrade. without qualification it sucks!

Our research shows that the new layout will be a boon to the site and will increase the browsing experience over time but we do need to work on the bugs and tweek some of the features.

"Increase" the experience??  "Tweek" the features?
Somehow this does clarify things a bit, though perhaps not the way you intend....

My local dealer thought his ’new’ and ’improved’ site was way better than what he had before. Sadly, now it looks like some 9 year old kid designed it thinking ’We should make it appeal to 80 year old Grandmas’.Lots of brown with golden curly-cues everywhere, That 1950’s look of lace doilies and knickknacks.. It is hard to manipulate, and hard to find out anything. My take is: One look and "Damn, I’ll go check out someplace else"
I told them it SUCKED.. They did not listen.The previous look was way better, and had a lot more functionality. I guess the paid for the new look, or something?

It's just another way to make you pay $$ more for listing.
Now if you really want your ad to remotely be seen you have to pay more.
