SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

... kinda sucks, no?

Another member (forgive me for not remembering who) mentioned it wouldn't work for bingo b/c they'd (TPTB @ Goodreads) removed the shelf links, but I've just now checked it out for the first time.

What are they going for? A more social media look?

Things I like ~ font, crispness of the page, ginormous book cover art
What worries me ~ Are they going to change the whole site to look like that? Will groups be changed too?? EEK! Will we lose important (to us) links and stuff too? 😬

Damn, GR changes make me nervous.

Yeah, it sucks. :( I tried it out for a little while but ended up changing back to the original.

I hate not having the shelves list more than I like those few good changes. A lot of my challenge groups use the shelves list and it's really going to limit those of us who do a lot of challenges. :(

I like the huge book cover art, and I like the series list and other books by the author at the bottom of the page. But since all of that information was one click away, I don't see why we need the change.

I don't like change. lol

Agree, Amanda! Also, I just looked at another book ... where the hell is the ISBN info? The links to Amazon and/or Audible or other shopping links we've added? UGH!

I'm swapping back to non-beta too, for as long as is possible that's where I'll stay.

❓ Book page survey (https://goodreads.co1.qualtrics.com/j...)
❓ Help page "How do I use the new book page on the Goodreads website?"

Now that it's permanent, it's totally sucks! I hate everything about it!

I really, really, REALLY, hate it.

Makes it extremely hard to do any librarian work on the site.

To me the book page is just so ugly and hurts my eyes. I'm on a large computer screen & everything on the book page is HUGE.

I'm not browsing book pages like I've done in the past.

100% agree

Hate all the things ‘bout it

I'm so bummed, last night I had the old page and this morning I have the new one again. Tried clearing my browser history and logging back in - nope. New page. UGH 🙄😩

You had it for a lot longer than I did! And yes, I still HATE it!

😝

Yep, yesterday was the end of the world with the New New Book Page which looks exactly like the old New Book Page. Just Horrible!!!!

So sad that we've gone back to this shocker!!!
