    Not so bad. Still kinda ugly, but the old site was ugly too. It'll work.

    The downside is that since visiting, I found a coin I want, and therefore your little post could cost me some bucks image.

    More difficult to read. I guess they felt cramming as much as possible onto the opening page was important.

    The site is still WAY too cluttered, in my opinion. I don't mind the color. Does anyone remember the "classic" Legend site with the black and yellow? Now that was a force to be dealt with!

    It's now more difficult to search current auctions. Takes a couple extra steps to get to the specific coin categories. Site seems to load a bit faster, though.

  • I was on there this morning and then went back this afternoon after the change. mixed feelings right away. Some of the screens are hard to see.

    I don't like the puke tan.

    I do like that from the top page you can see how many coins are for sale or auction in each category.

    I also noted some research material embedded. For example, when I opened a Reeded Edge Half Dollar Auction it had a link to a variety attribution guide.

    A lot of dead space on there.

    It sucks.

    One of the features that I liked so much was that when I clicked on a link to a coin, the color of the link would permanently change. I could go back the next day and see that I had previously viewed a particular coin, whether in an auction, or in their inventory. The same feature that we have right here on these boards. This feature no longer works at heritage. It's the main reason that I stopped buying on DLRC. It's a huge waste of my time to look at the same coins over & over again everytime I view their listings. It may be one of the reasons I no longer buy on Heritage now too. I hope they correct this.

    Now I have a serious problem with the Heritage web site. I cannot sign in under "secure". All I get is a big warning saying my computer does not recognize HRC site, so my personal information may be seen by others. I was hoping to make multiple bids in two days. There is no way I will place bids on a site that is not "secure", and labeled as secure.

    These young computer guys make these fancy pansy changes, and then we older guys are expected to buy all new software just to spend money with their company. Total BS!!!!!!!!!image

    I like it.

    Never could figure out those pull down menus that went sideways. Took 2-3 tries and I usually missed the category I wanted.

    <<<Not a big fan of the baby poop brown. >>>

    Yes! Yes! It's so true - ! I knew I'd seen that color a couple times today already...

    Seriously, the new site seems like a step backwards to me.

    OK Matthew, like I said, a lot of dead space. A third of the page is just empty space.

    Shipping auction wins within 2 weeks without having to ask if you are going to ship them would be an improvement. Oooops... I guess that has nothing to do with the new design.

    The ugly brown side panels can be enlarged by widening the window, but the business within the side panels will not widen.

    I also miss the feature that changed the color of a lot listing when I view. Now there is no way to determine which lots I already viewed.

    I agree with you there...I always missed em. Different color scheme would be nice.

    Some of the colors are way to hard to read against the background. They need to do some color adjustments. I do like the way they have made the coin type auction and buy-it-nows accessible from the main page.

    Thank you to everyone in this thread for your comments. I expect there to be a few tweaks here and there based on some of the comments we receive. In particular, we have already (or will very soon) change the "viewed" color on links that you have already seen.

    I would be happy to hear any other comments you might have, either in this thread or directly at stewarth@heritageauctions.com.
    Sincerely,

    Stewart Huckaby

    I have to say again how I don't like the clutter on the opening page. Why do you need so much information splattered about? For an idea of a "clean" and organized opening page, take a look at ANR's website. You can get anywhere from the opening page, and the "highlights" of what's new and auction news is always right there when you first go to the site. In contrast, the Heritage site has a dizzying array of links, pictures, announcements, email signups, featured items, coin quizzes, etc., etc. I am not bashing Heritage, but I would like to see the site become better than it was before.
