Well done to the team, as I am a tecky twit, I find this much better than before, also the mobile ap is much better,

And that is why so many good websites are updated and become unworkable/ a far worse site than before tech types meddled with it.

What works for tech types doesn't work in the real world, for example take grease nipples on machinery, they look like they have been placed somewhere sensible when on a screen in the design process but when the machine is actually made and you have to use the grease nipples you find they have been put just in the most worst user friendly place possible.

The new format has issues but im sure they will be sorted out and people will come to like the new layout etc.

That is what prototypes are for. Designers rarely seethe whole machine on screen, CAD models are highly complex and take a lot of loading so you will rarely get complete CAD model of a machine any more complicated than a cultivator. Larger models are simplified and grease nipples etc are easily overlooked.
It is for the engineers building the prototypes to feed back on things such as grease nipple position - blame them not the designers!

Like everything these days ,change is inevitable, once we get into it ,we will wonder what the fuss was about.
Maybe bit more definition between posts and replies needed but not been on computer just phone so maybe layout looks different on that.
Thanks all.

I like it too, prefer it to old version.

I've been using this new version for months now as part of testing before todays launch - its loads better and the more you use / get used to it the more you realise that, when I had to go back to the old version on occasion it felt terrible and very dated
