Internet Archive's New Look

gypsygirl · Post by **gypsygirl** » December 28th, 2014, 7:21 am

I see the link to the advanced search on the main page, just under the simple search box (and on results pages when coming from there), but not when searching the librivox collection.

Ruth, I find it very cute that photobucket suggests you'll send that image as a holiday card...

I, too, can see it when searching from the main archive page, where the search function is in a bar above the sort bar: https://archive.org/search.php?query=%28sandburg%29%20AND%20collection%3A%28librivoxaudio%29

You mean it isn't festive enough for you, Ava?

Am I the only one here who prefers the old Internet Archive look? I've noticed when I search IA that some of the listings don't show up, that when I use the old IA it works.

Did you use the feed back to tell them? Just exit beta and you will get a form you can fill in

I told them using feedback. Thank you.

I'm going to be dragged kicking and screaming to the new look when it's forced on me.

I'm not a big fan of the new interface either. I switched back to the old one.

I, too, find the new look confusing and have switched back to the old one.

If it's the images you find confusing there is an option for a text version of some of the pages . I think it will happen regardless , but if there is a part of it you think could be improved it is worth giving them specific feed back.

Now wait, there is a possibility to switch back to the old lok? I thought I was stuck with this awful look.

only till the old one is discontinued - click on the exit beta usually top right hand corner.

Thank you. I never spotted that button. Seems you can't leave beta without giving feedback.

I'll take a closer look once I'm back home. The new page is shiny and gossy, it's just that I don't like change for changes sake.

As usual "new and improved" really means "new and worse than it was before".
