Crap, I just wrote out a long response to this but clicked cancel by accident.

I don't find it hard to get to the main page of WL's but if you have several WL's (or more than one), it seems there are a few more steps to go from one to the other. I'll explain.

To get to the main page of my WL's, I click Wishlist at the top, then click "manage". When I'm at the main page, I'll click "For Me Wishlist". When I'm in that WL and would like to go look at my other wishlist titled "For partner", I have to go back to the wishlist button at the top, click manage again, and then I'll be back to the main page. Before you didn't have to click here, there and everywhere just to get back to the main page. It's not much work, it just seems odd that this new change actually makes the user take more steps to do something that was simple before the change. Almost like going backwards in my opinion.

Whoa, changes!

I'll have to get used to it before I decide how I feel about it. As Facebook has taught us, it's easy to hate something new just 'cause it's new. (And I do, indeed, hate that it's new. I'll get over that!)

My third. ANYTHING with a one click to get to my account, profile, main page, and the community page is like a must.

This is something I don't like as well. These "breadcrumbs" should be at the top page. It doesn't make sense to be at the very bottom ,especially when it's a ridiculously long thread... or maybe I'm just weird and would prefer it at the top lol.

I guess I'll get used to it, but right now it's messing with me. I can't get to my profile page either.

I hate that I cannot right click and open my account the way they have this! Being able to right click and open new pages in new windows is a must for me.

Having logout by hidden without an extra click is annoying too.

I found my wishlists no problem. Too much white when you get in there! The breadcrumbs to go back are at the bottom... those need to be at the top.

It makes NO sense. No, I agree with you. Even better, they should be at the top and bottom.

Okay my most hated part I realized is the way you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to get back to the rest of the community forum. I liked it much better at the top!

LOVE IT! It took a bit of looking to figure out where everything was but it is just so much more user friendly and intuitive. It's also very pretty. I dunno it looks less clinical and box-y to me. It is, however, VERY busy and will take some getting used to. Still I like it, personally.

Love the update! Took a while to get reoriented, but this is awesome! Great work, guys. Thanks!

I like the update, though it will take me a little time to get used to, as with any sort of change like this. A couple of the layout pieces are just throwing me off because it's taking me a little longer to find some of the things that I normally use, but I think it's a slightly cleaner looking interface and in a week and a half I'll probably totally forget the old layout

Just saw the new 'promotions' tab. HATE IT! I can only see three of the current promotions when I know that there are a ton!

If you look underneath those three, there is a link that says "see all promotions" click that and you'll see them all At first I thought there was only three too because the link underneath is just so darn tiny!

I don't like that either. You have to click see all at the bottom.

also...I can't search products properly. It only shows thread results and there are no links to go between forum and products.

Whoa! I've been off the site for a couple of days due to being sick and I come back and everything's different

I think I'll like it eventually, but I'm just starting to get acquainted to it.

If you click where your points are,Wetone123, a thing will pop up that says profile and account dashboard. I couldn't get mine to show up until I cleared my cookies.

I agree with what has been said. I appreciate the effort put into the layout, but some of it doesn't feel as user friendly or straight forward as it could be, like the forum location for example. Things also seem much larger than necessary, and I find myself having to shrink the size of my viewing settings to help the site fit my preset preferences.

I'm really enjoying it! I like that it constantly displays the earned points, and I feel like all the links and information are much better organized!

I like the points balance being shown on the main page. I can't seem to find a quick way to get to "my account" though...I know when I click My Eden, the drop down menu will show "my public profile" and "dashboard" as options half the time but the other half it just displays a drop down list asking if i want to log in when i am already logged in. More often than not I can't find my dashboard and have to get to it by clicking "assignment cart" in the top corner. Aside from that and trying to relocate everything, that's been my only issue. The layout looks nice, it will just take some getting used to but I think you guys did a great job as always!

I don't mind it so far. Too much white to be honest and some things really should be at the top. Other than that, not so bad.

Maybe this is all just a cunning plan to unite the community, by our collective dislike for the new layout.

Seriously, it's like the "New Coke" of website design.

Dang, I must have missed it. I'll go back and reread and see if I can find it.

Thank you!

Yeah me too. And I saw it on my phone at first, so I thought there was an error. Logging in was a bit troublesome. It's okay overall but I think I preferred the old version. And the new page is really wide. But, appreciate all the work that went to it. Just have to adjust to it.

I just realized you can view the newest reviews under specific categories! AWESOME! I always try to keep up with the new lingerie reviews, so this is really awesome!!!

I dislike it from a technical standpoint. I use the opera browser as my main browser on my desktop(I know its strange) and it seems that for some reason the pages are not loading quite right and toolbar functionality such as back and forward take a long time to react. The old site worked fine and never seen this before on any page.

Other than that the layout seems fine it will take a few mins to find things again.

Agreed. I probably won't visit or use Eden as often now because the layout is awful and the white space is deafening.

Ahhh, no! I do not know how I am feeling about this new change. It was already difficult enough to navigate previously.

I feel that it's looking too much like a social networking site and less like a store site.
