... to the Order Received page.


The new layout do not really seem thought thru.
What may look awesome to a web-developer don't necessary look as good to
the end-user.

To see as much of the page and eliminate the need to scroll sideways I need to
zoom out from 125% to 90% in chrome, making the text hard to read.

Columns are miss-aligned (Credit columns in particular). So much empty space
around each cell.

Functionality Flashy graphics

Thus I suggest you add "Classic View" as an default option, then evaluate how
many users stuck to new vs old layout.
And listen to feedback of your end-users, that pay commission fees to sell here.

I asked the Magic 8-Ball, three times, will Bricklink keep getting worse?

"It is decidedly so."
"Outlook not so good."
"Without a doubt."

Jaclyn, Sheryl,

Why was this suggestions discarded so quickly? I suspect it had quite a few
votes. You are really testing the patience of your users! What do you lose
by allowing sellers to choose which view we would like to use? You can make EVERYONE
happy and make all of this mess in the forums go away in an instant. It is such
a simple solution and it only involves adding a few lines of code. I would really
like to know the reasoning; please give us a response to this simple question:

Why can't we, the users, be allowed to choose between two currently existing
and functional views?
