Delay the mandatory switch-over
The new homepage is being shown as mandatory from Feb. 16th. Before then we can switch back, but the wording suggests we'll be locked into the new homepage from this date.
This date needs to be delayed until all major issues are fixed. This includes issues with layout, fixed column counts, scrambling widgets on multiple sized monitors/screens/browsers, etc. There are also many other feedback points in this forum which highlight usability concerns.
NB: Some of the concerns looked to have been addressed, and tweaks are obviously being made, but it's still not in a usable state for a mandatory switch over in February.
I would recommend a delay until at least Q2 or even Q3 to give yourselves chance to apply some well needed functional capabilities to the new homepage design.
Hi Andrew, while we appreciate your feedback here and I've also shared your in-depth insights on the layout and responsive design with our product team I want to be transparent here that your post here will be moved to Feedback.
Feedback is definitely being monitored closely and there are many factors that play into decisions around switch over dates.
Be assured that we will make sure to openly communicate these with our customers.
