Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format?

I don't know about other Audiogoners but I'm still missing the old Audiogon format. It has a few shortcomings but they can be addressed and fixed to work just fine within the old format. What I miss the most is the "human side" of the old format vs. the new one which I found so "cold" and "impersonal".

Well as a member since the mid-1990s, I can easily say that the "old" format was a lot more user friendly. And there were no "Comissions" on sales either. And the "transition" period was painful and made use of the site difficult at best.

Yes, the buying and selling column is so much better and user friendly than the new one!

ABSOLUTELY!I have had more "Server Error"crashes on the new A'Gon than I did in YEARS of use on the old system!Also it now seems replies to threads take a day or two to post & sometimes they NEVER get posted,as a matter of fact this is the second reply to this thread,the first one never being posted.

I've always thought that transferring forums from old to new format is due, but seing sloppy work of development crew I'd stay away from proceeding any further "enhancements"
