Another dealer website "upgrade"....that isn't....

So toggling between View as List and View with thumbnails is too difficult?

Good gripe.

    NEN's website was never my favorite to begin with, despite their nice inventory and people.



    PS- HOWEVER, I will say that the thumbnail images, though they "take up screen real estate" as you say, ARE an improvement in my humble opinion, and actually do away with one of my biggest gripes about their old format. I much prefer going down a list and browsing by thumbnail images, rather than having to click constantly to take a peek.



    So without yet doing much browsing since the change, I will say "yay" to NEN for that, at least.

    I always felt their website was one of the better ones. And, I love the new thumbnail format. It enables me to view the coin without have to click on it.

    I agree that this is a better format. Seeing the thumbnail is the only way to go, IMO. Scrolling is so easy and quick.

    As a millennial, I make about 70-80% of my purchases from my phone. I prefer the thumbnails. The thumbnail previews allow me to scroll through their coins faster. Sites that make you click to view the coin generally lose my interest halfway down the inventory. However, the NEN mobile site does not show previews. So unless I am sitting in front of a computer/laptop, I don't visit the site. I prefer a mobile site like Sunshine Rare Coins.

    I like the upgrade myself. I contacted them about a "search" feature, but the thumbnails are a nice improvement.

    Personally, I prefer seeing the thumbnail pics as opposed to just a text list and really like the upgrade. I think they've got a View as List option that preserves the old behavior.

    Good gripe.






    It is when I was so instantly turned off by the new change that I backed right out and didn't see that option.



    Sorry that I didn't spend the time for you and your snarkiness.



    I like NEN, and have used their services for awhile, but I am also used to designers that, when making changes to their websites for customers, make things either more obvious or more upfront.



    The eye, or mine at least, catches the big things right away.....one doesn't always spend a lot of time looking around. In this case, the "view as list" is right smack in the middle, but not overly obvious (to me at least) when I am there expecting to see something and it has changed.





    Majority has spoken and NEN seems to have made a change that many like. That's the right thing for their business then.



    I have changed it back to list view and will go by that, but, that said, I work for, and have worked for, businesses that have external websites for customers and we have always had to be aware of the impact of changes made and making things more difficult, valid or perceived, for any customer. The implementation of a change like this, wouldn't have passed initially.

    Great upgrade to the site. I hated the site because I had to click on everything to see it. I will visiting the site more regularly.

    Wow...so I can't have an opinion? Ok. Got it.



    Yes, I do know a bit of how things are done...particularly with a UI.



    Next time anyone else sees something they don't like...a change or whatever, do me a favor and speak up in their thread, ok?

    Nope. Don't care actually.

    I stand by the fact I had an opinion. As I said, others had a different opinion, so, for all intents and purposes, NEN did the right thing. Already stated that.



    As for you/casman/some others, I honestly don't care. You guys like being a bit on the nasty side to certain folks, so I am used to it.



    At this point, with my gout acting up, I just don't care about much from folks that do that stuff.

    Never said that...you did.



    As I stated, this will be the 3rd time, others have a different opinion and so, therefore, NEN must have done the right change, for them.



    Not for me. Unlike you, I can respect someone else's opinion, but the way you come into it in the negative way....no time for your crap today (which is most of your posting).



    The whole "wow...so you don't like it and make a thread about it" bit....yep.

    I like something, I feel I can make a thread about it.

    I don't like something, and I stay within the guidelines, I feel I can make a thread about it.



    I didn't attack NEN (I stated I didn't like the new change).

    I also stated I have purchased coins from them and I perused their website multiple times per week. Nothing negative.



    Something unliked? Yes

    Something negative? No.



    Just a bit tired of people like you that like to put words into other people's mouths and spout off like you are perfect and the world revolves around you. Never bringing much to the table, if anything, other than you view of other people and their opinions.



    Thanks though. Have a great day image

    People on the Internet have many different views and opinions and it is nothing to be emotional about so feel free to continue to reply to any thread I post if you feel that you have something to contribute.

    And if you are able to explain something I don’t understand, that’s something I would appreciate and wouldn’t get upset at all.
