Did the design of the site change for anyone else?

Quoth · 08-16-2022, 05:01 AM

So long since I regularly used it I can't remember.

Thank you for participating in our new book page beta, which has now ended. We have returned you to the current version of the page while we prepare to bring the new book page experience to all of our customers.

Could you have been using the book page beta?

Not by my decision...

Apparently imdb has been doing this too - that A/B thing, without any pesky details like user consent.

Went to IMDB yesterday after a long break and the change was horrible.

FourOhFour · 08-16-2022, 08:09 AM

Yeah, I'm getting the new book page too apparently. It's... fine.

The rounded right corners on book covers is dumb. The rounded right corners on manga covers is dumber.

I don't like how far people's avatars are from the text in the reviews, but other than that... meh.

I too do not like the changes to IMDB.

All those years of training myself to ignore online aesthetics are paying dividends.

I hate it when they change. I was tracking my video collection on the original IMDB. Then they changed it (Amazon purchased them?). I could still SEE my old lists, but could not add my new items

. Now it seems, I can't even find those.

imDB
I used it as a reference, to find out more info about a Movie, Actor or writer.
Then, possibly follow a link to their other work.
Another glitzy catalog is not what I need up front.

I think this will finally push me to Storygraph. I just need to figure out if my tags are going to import when I import the collection.

I’m still seeing the same layout or I’m oblivious. I think the former is more likely, but the latter is a possibility. The things to which I’m oblivious are legion.

haertig · 08-16-2022, 11:03 AM

Goodreads definitely has a different look and feel on the individual book page, but not on the main author page, or the "books by" page. I don't know when the changes occurred, but fairly recently.

I think i kept getting shoved into the beta and hated it. Now the beta has become the standard, I don't care for it at all.
