Poll: The new TB. What do you think?

Are you enjoying the new TalkBass format?

  • Yes, it’s great.

  • So far so good. Still getting acclimated.

  • Meh. It’s okay.

  • Not loving it. But I’m still hopeful.

  • Not a fan. Must have been designed by a drummer

  • Carrots!!! (first carrot poll option on the new TB!)

I already said it, so pardon me for repeating: the voting system is the best new feature.

In the middile of a 200 pages thread, when you see Agedhorse brings the light, please vote for his comment.

Later, when somebody else wants to read the thread, he/she can sort by votes, and Agedhorse's comment will show up first, bringing the best answer on top of the 200 pages of useless comments.
You sound like a broken record Monsieur! ;)… so I upvoted you! Hihi!
 
I was surprised at how caustic some of the first day reactions were.

Yeah, it can be a bit taxing to relearn how to get to one's fave features--especially if you're pressed for time--but ya gotta expect some kind of learning curve for users when an interface changes.

OTOH, I experienced some really nice TB camaraderie when I posted questions about navigation or setting my preferences, and people replied to clue me. IME that's a wonderful TB tradition that continues.

This old dog don't mind learning some new tricks. :cool: (Well, now...I just figured out how to get to the emojis...)
 
I'm hopefull knowing that at this point, the limitations are more on my part than the site changes. So far, I miss the home button the most. Is it possible to add that feature to the updated version ? I am sure many others used it as frequently as I did.
 
It was very very slow at the beginning but seems to improve day after day.

I guess within a few weeks everything will be fine……………....as long as we are willing to adapt.

I work remotely for a 16 000 employees company and when they change or update their computer system, it sometimes takes up to 3 months to get it efficient. And at the end, everyone gets familiar with it and are up and running.
 
The more I use it, the more I like it. I keep discovering new things I like. As I noted in another thread, the process is similar to buying a new car and fiddling with all the knobs and controls to figure it out rather than reading the owner's manual (because where's the fun in that?)

I encourage people to try List view if you don't like Card view (which I believe is the default view). Much cleaner, more like the old TB, and actually looks better on my iPhone.
