What a pain the new layout is - used to be convenient to scroll down and see all the offerings without paging through page after page, or to be able to sort conveniently. I don't need pictures until I'm ready to assess further - it was actually convenient to see all auction on one page or sort by closing time. This is tedious and an OPOS for an auction site - might as well just go to CI directly. Been moving my business over to alternate sites more and more and this will only hasten things. I've lived with the slow order processing for years only because it was convenient; this website change is just another disappointment with CBid. They could have at least left the option to view in quick view/ scroll format - unless I'm missing it somewhere?

I have to say the new site sucks. you can sort by alphabetical no matter how many times you click on it. I dont want to sort from page to page etc. I by a lot of cigars on this site and do so usually from my phone and it is virtually impossible to sort through the products to find what yo are looking for as well as no feature for ending today. Truly disappointing and will probably cut my purchases immensely.

Tired of winning, so they adopted a loser setup. Frying pan

I kinda like the new layout. It seems easier on my phone. I haven't seen how it is on my laptop.

Only Platinum Members can see quickies on Sat morning. You have to call Shana and ask for the PM. Well that and a box of cupcakes for the girls. Vic can hook you up on where to get the best deals on cuppie cakes.

I also would just go through a 1 page list of auctions closing for that day to see what I might be interested in. I am not a fan of the page by page system. It may just be the market right now, but I am not getting some of the hot deals that would encourage me to buy before the site changed.

The above options are on your phone as well...Is it really that difficult?

Change is inevitable.

Sorry Guys!

I made IT aware.

In the meantime, if you go to Categories, Ending Soon and sort by Ending Soon you will see all the ones ending today.

Hopefully it should be fixed soon!

They did straighten out the ending soon section today,but with hundreds less offerings per day the price has been driven up on almost all auctions,which is what they wanted,deals will be much harder 2 come by now after the last wonderful 10-15 years on here,maybe it will get better,but i very much doubt it

Why the new layout? Because we desktop users all have to get screwed because of the holy 5-inch-screened smartphone that everyone has to worship and bend over backwards for, and Google who is effectively preventing companies from having separate, highly-functional and feature-rich desktop-optimized sites (meaning, the way ALL SITES USED TO BE!), and instead forcing companies to only have a single site.

The idea was that companies would spend lots of time adding complex code and layout to add lots of extra features that make full use of huge desktop monitors and precise mouse pointers when it detects a desktop browser is being used, but predictably, few companes bother to spend the money and time to do this, because it's MUCH cheaper and easier just to make one simplistic, dumbed-down smartphone layout, then stretch it way too big to fit desktop monitors and call it a day, which looks terrible, functions terribly and leaves unused all the desktop/mouse format's capabilities and potential, which USED TO BE used to the fullest on ALL (good) websites.

See here:

http://www.cigarbid.com/...tting-down-#post4304227

Basically it's the explosive popularity of mobile devices and Google working together to ruin the quality of websites for desktop users, and cause sites to not use all the best capabilities of the desktop/mouse platform, and instead dumb down all sites so they treat your desktop PC as if it had a 5-inch screen instead of a 20-inch screen, and a big fat imprecise finger instead of a single-pixel-accurate mouse pointer.

Terrible, I know, but that's what's happening. Hope that helps.

As of now, I'm finding it largely unusable. I used to use single-page, no-picture lists of "starting today" and "ending today" auctions, and a lot watch that retains both open and closed items. All of that is gone.

Found 2 or 3 lots with a difference from the picture page to the description/bid page. A year later it's still happening. Newly listed may be working now but it's nothing like the old Starting today that listed everything new including auctions that had not opened yet.
