You now have an extra step to go to groups. It used to be at the top bar, "My Books", "Browse", "Groups", and "Community", now you have groups under "Community" and I think it wasn't "Community" it was... ? Can't remember. Didn't you notice that the top title bar of Good reads changed? Also the review links are different again. I hate having to "get used to" the new when there really isn't any upgrade but only aesthetic, which is so, so objective. Having to search around for links I've been using for 5 years is really annoying. Luckily I have a book mark for my groups but instead of using that I usually just went to the group link and if my group wasn't at the top, click "my groups" from there. I know it is a small one step more but one step more is one step more. From now on I'll use my link from my pull down instead of theirs.
Humm well my page looks the same! I still see "Groups" between "My Books" and "Recommendations".... could it be related to whether we use Firefox or IE, for instance?
Unfortunately not. Goodreads changed the navigation. It will apply to all accounts sooner or later. I already have sooner...I see the new navigation bar...as navigating and finding things was so easy before (ha ha)...I'm still trying to figure out there everything is now...
Yes... well we should be given the choice to change or to keep things as they are, that would be the best new thing they should do!
Yes that is what it was, "Recommendations", now for recommendations you go to your account icon and pull down the list. You can also get to "My Groups" there. Not too bad in steps for me but it is tiring getting used to Amazon changes every... 6 months? (Amazon bought GR) I still don't like the formatting changes and find it hard to get to links of the book's page.
