I like the new look... more informative about the posters up front. Now you can see who the moron's are without going hunting into their profiles.

Good point....now I see who you are !

I don't mind the spacing in the new format, but do think there is a lot of wasted space to the right. Why not set up two columns?

Agree with Mollie and Dirtpusher -- Single line display much better.


Me, too! I like the old format. Not just because I was used to it, but
because it was easier, and quicker, to scan postings.

Why do you say that? I don't notice any useful info available with fewer clicks than the old format.

The new format is a huge space waster for people viewing computers. I don't understand why there isn't a new format for mobile users, and the old format (perhaps with upgrades) for PC users? The only way the new format makes sense (apart from some new features, but that's not a formatting issue per se) is if it's known that more people use the site with mobile devices than computers. Do we know if that's the case?

Thumbs down, way down, on the new format.

Re different formats for mobile devices, it is funny you say that because that is what Responsive Design can do. In this case it seems the Advertisements have become much larger on the mobile devices. I'm sure that helps the UHH bottom line, which is not all bad, because if you like this site and want to continue using it, Admin making a profit will help assure that.

As for "Do we know if that is the case?". You can bet Admin knows this is indeed the case. In addition, the projected trend is that mobile users will become a larger and larger % of the customer base. Otherwise it doesn't make business sense because, along with the risk of losing some of the current computer-only users, it costs $ for the upgrade.
