Please put it back the way it was! It was easy to scan and get an overview of what jobs, forum postings, and Kudoz auestions are new. The new design is a visual jumble, and does not show you topics in which you are presumed not to be interested.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Switch back Jul 19, 2020

You can switch back to the old version at the top of the screen. That’s what I did.

Hope they will trash the new design Jul 20, 2020

and not make it compulsive for us. I'm only interested in the fora, that's all I ever watch.

The old version is better, but Jul 20, 2020

I dislike more the blinking adds in the middle of threads.
The website looks like a Christmas tree.

Sorry to say this, but... Jul 20, 2020

I dislike both designs. But if I had to choose one, I would stick with the old version as the new one is really hard on the eyes.

I am hoping that someone from the Proz staff will respond.

@Chris: I know you can switch back to the old version, but I assume this is a beta and they will switch to the new version after a while. That's why I posted the comment.

@expressisverbis: I don't know what you mean by "blinking ads." I don't see any ads.

Funnily enough Jul 20, 2020

we have an ad right on top of expressisverbis' entry, and it even blinks sometimes!

That depends on your browser Jul 21, 2020

Out of interest, I checked. I also see these "blinking ads" when I use Chrome, but not on Cliqz. I didn't check any others.

Seems to depend on which browser you use.

And for the record: I also much prefer the old design. When I first saw the new one, I had to think of the German word 'Aktionismus', which basically means making unnecessary changes in order to be noticed (to appear to be doing something, e.g. working on improvements). It's like just making changes for the sake of it.

As Susan said, " if it ain't broke..."

Why not share your feedback on the new homepage via the official feedback form? Jul 21, 2020

Dear Colleagues,

There is a little bubble next to "switch back to the old homepage" (on the right). If you click on the arrow and on "share your feedback", you get to the following feedback form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5xyQ00X6hMzwiAqICL6r_etv8A7Lz7j3akyoDYyIRFbrWFg/viewform?usp=send_form

Susan, Jul 21, 2020

As Beatriz said, I have on top of my entry an add of Perfect It (I can see it now).
Maybe I need to check my web browser settings, but this annoying thing appeared a few weeks ago only.

I don´t like the new design either - or the ads! Jul 22, 2020

The ads apear, no matter whether I use Chrome, Edge or Explorer.

I tried the new homepage briefly, but decided it was not something I wanted to get used to. (or perhaps could get used to?) Maybe nothing is perfect in this world, but the old design can be customised to some extent, and then it works well for me.
PLEASE let us keep that option at least!

Blocked adds Jul 22, 2020

I have checked my Microsoft Edge settings, and adds are blocked.
Maybe I will try to use Firefox as Cilian is saying.
