I cannot find all the info that used to be right theret the top and center. I know they claim to have made the changes to be more "friendly" to people who surf on their little handheld computers, but it suck for customers like me.
I have to search just for the "classic view" (actually a misuse of the term) and it causes me headaches. I used to do some quick searches every day but now I limit my activity there due to the extra work...

Anyone over 30 here hate that change as I do?
 
It's not just Gunbroker. I announce at the Wichita AKC show, and used the AKC site for information about breeds. Not any more. It was "upgraded", and is now useless. I do better with Wikipedia.

Similarly, Smithsonian and National Geographic magazines have changed their formats to resemble websites. I dropped my membership, and sent letters telling why.
 
Interesting timing, this thread.

Just this morning, I clicked on a gunbroker link, and it took me to a page I've never seen before, and certainly did not see the item I was looking for. Was out of time, so figured I'd look into it later. Now I see this thread about gunbroker changes. This afternoon, I clicked on the same links, and this time the items came up normally.

WAYNO.
 
I initially hated the new format and refused to use it. Yesterday I took the time to figure out how to navigate and do what I want to do. Pretty simple, really. It ain't going to change back, so I reckon I only had two choices - adapt, or stop going there.
 
Going to say again, I really don't see a whole lot different, other than the look. I like all the pics at top and being able to run them through the slide show, as well as blow them up. Bidding is right at top. Whats not to like other than it isn't like it WAS.

Also now, if you are watching something that gets relisted, there is a "see new listing" tab. If it has been relisted several times, you just keep clicking that button. Before, you had to open each new listing and then click on new auction number. So that's a little easier
 
wait until you make any mention of something they dont like you talking about on their forums.
not only will they ban you, but poof your sellers account...that has nothing to do with a forum!
11 years i helped them become what they are. one of the owners had it in for me ever since the v2 to v4 upgrade eliminated about 50% of dial up users out in the sticks from being able to post wares....and when he saw me mention something to another forum poster...he used that to justify my destruction.
650 sales meant nothing to them.
they can all gth as far as im concerned.
beware.
dont believe me?
