What I find most difficult is the classifieds. The Bass Guitars for Sale section is something I visit a couple of times each day. I find the way it appears with the photos to the left is very distracting to being able to review the listings quickly to determine from the brief descriptions if there is anything I'm interested in viewing. Further, many of the photos next to the listings are distorted or out of focus, so they are simply useless for anything other than to take up space, and certainly, in my opinion, make browsing more difficult.
In the previous look, I also had a benchmark for my previous browsing point with the bolding and unbolding of listings based on when I last visited the site. So far as I can tell this feature is not there on the new look. I think it will likely take more time for me to browse and if this is the case, I will visit the site less often because of the time inefficiency. If others feel as I do I think the effectiveness of the classifieds as a source for members to buy and sell instruments will suffer, thereby losing you subscribers.
