Worst "improvement" since the new Coke.

Or am I not allowed to have an opinion because I don't spend time on the forum and am therefore a "noob" desite having been a customer for many years?

Desite poor spelling you are allowed your own opinion. Though we prolly don't care because you won't know why we use prolly.

So now if I clear notifications I have no way to see what bids I'm winning without looking through ALL past bids???
What the heck is up with these notifications? Now I have to manage notifications for 'winning lots', 'outbid lots', 'watched lots', 'won bids', and 'lost bids'. Isn't that what a VIEW is for? What happened to that novel idea of the past?
Also, if you have more than 1 page of watched lots you can't get to them. No amount of clicking on 'next' or 'page 2' will actually get you there.
Lack of information on watched/winning lots.
- Can't see what my max bid is without clicking on an individual lot.
- Can't see the # of items in each lot without clicking on an individual lot.
- Can't change or raise my bid without clicking on an individual lot.
Almost seems like they're trying to slow down bidding on multiple lots.
End user experience took a death blow.

Awful--i hate the new look. I'm going to buy far less because i'm not scrolling through 16 pages of listings with pictures. Before, i could list by "ending soon," alphabetize, and sort 200 listings per page. Scroll through, find what i want, bid, and be done. It took 5 minutes.

Yesterday i spent over 30 minutes going through it all--i'll just find a new website.

idk when it changed but clicking page 2 started to work for me this morning. And I noticed they added max bid to the bid history page... still missing from my lots. At least they're making changes. I agree with all your points.

Almost all of the auctions are free fall and basically at retail. New format is horrible.
I'll be going back to cigar auction.

CigarBid: I like the new look! Functionality is good. Ease of use is good. Graphics are good. I'm satisfied with upgrade. The free fall actions could fall a little lower. Overall a very good experience.

Choose Ending soon or Quickies (they are essentially the same category), then sort by Name A-Z.

As an IT person, I can't believe that this update was rolled out with the number of issues. If it was a developer working for me, they would have been fired!!!

Click onto the menu in the left hand corner, go to my lots and click onto the + sign. Here you can go to Outbid, Ending Soon, Winning, Won or Lost.

Or, if you click on the menu and my lots, you will see everything listed. Also from the My Lots screen, you can click onto Bid History and see everything listed.

Clicking onto Page 2, 3, etc on the Lot Watch is working now.

You can see this in bid history.

Where is this happening? I can click onto Categories, then 5 packs for example and I see quantities available for each specific lot.

if I use the menu/+ sign/and any of the listed options, it will not show anything if the notifications have been cleared. That's the point. I now have to manage notifications just to see the different views??

I used to be able to see the # of items in each lot, the number of items i was winning, the current winning bid, and my max bid all in one place (watched lots). Now watched lots only shows my winning bid and the end time, and if I want to update the bid I actually have to open the lot. I used to be able to do that all on one succinct page.

Websites that do it right actually count the number of clicks it takes to accomplish a task. This upgrade has made it much more difficult to do the basic stuff. Sure it's pretty, but not nearly as efficient as it used to be.

Can I say... been around here a long time... never had the joy (for the last 11 months) of seeing these newbies post random negative commentary.

Anyone up for a "best of" thread?
