In reply to ;
Unfortunately, while many seem to claim that the new website works, it does not for me. The new dashboard is horrid and looks like it has an overabundance of flash-like content, none of which want to load for me. Then there’s the loss of the clean-feel of the XHTML pages used before. No longer can I find the information I could easily browse to in the previous incarnation of the site, but now I need to wait for most of the flash-like content to load to such a point where I finally regain control of my Firefox instance to be able to click on something that I hope leads to where I can find the information I seek, only to land on yet another page that does not wish me to do anything else in Firefox rather than load the flash-like content. Which doesn’t happen. After a few minutes of browsing like this, I still don’t know where I can find my transaction history or where I can get back to the formerly clean account summary.
If this change is to make things easier, I’m sorry to say it’s not.
The dark page with the only little lighter text is making it very hard to read the contents of the site unless I were to put my monitor’s contrast up to max, and even the slightest shine of sunlight in my room makes it impossible to read the site properly. What’s wrong with clean black on white?
So no, I’m not impressed. Something that I also relayed in the survey.
I really wish LL would look at the performance issues before pulling out the shinies. We need the shinies less than we need a stable performance of SL’s website, servers and client. None of which function as they should right now.
Call me a whiner, if you must, but this website change is putting me off on this whole “SL experience” thing. The adult verification and content segregation was enough to make me ditch my Premium Account(s), but if LL continues to go in this way, I might leave completely, like some highly valued content creators have already.
But that’s my ten cents. I know no-one in LL gives a damn.
