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.

I can't believe, that this passed by the senior people at Audiogon - they must have been high on Canadian weed.  
I told them long ago when they introduced this nonsense that they
obviously do not understand their customer base. As ERIK said, young programmers who do not understand how the site is used. I actually think that the complaints about reduced sales on this site are partially due to
the total confusion users experience while trying to find products.
Also notice that the number of posts complaining about the new site have not diminished. But if they don't fix it the users and dealers will go elsewhere. That too is marketing 101.
My favorite dealer had a nice, usable website for many years. Then they decided to 'upgrade' the website. Now it has 1/3 the info, is harder to navigate, looks like someone from Lawrence Welk Champagne Bubble hour designed it. All gold and brown?, with endless curlicue everywhere. Looks HIDEOUS. I told them it looked hideous. No matter. I would say anyone taking a look, would be instantly turned off, unless they were over 65 and loved the Victorian Era..
