New User Interface is frustrating!

cbeissel — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 05:53:31 GMT

We have been using the new user interface without "Add to Watch List" on a search page for some weeks now.

I am finding it so frustrating!

I can accept clicking on an item before being able to add it to my watch list, even though that adds time to what should be a simple task.

However, once I am viewing the item, I have to wait until all the advertisements have displayed before the position of the Add the Watch list button settles down.

I find myself regularly clicking on Place Bid or Buy it Now by mistake as the buttons move down the screen.

It takes up to seven seconds for the full page to paint for me, so this adds more time to a simple task.

This new interface design is a backwards step in usability.

Not sure why you are having problems, just click on customise at the top of the search page and tick the box for watch this item link.

Thanks phorum_junkie.

I guess that is what happens when you change a user interface without explaining to your users what has changed and how to customise it.
