delicious support forum - What do you dislike about the new design?

-Everything. The old design was minimalistic in the best possible way. I likened it to a RESTful app for direct human consumption. The content jumped out of the page, it was highly usable and predictable.
This new version, you've gone and ruined J's excellent original design.
It didn't need to look and act like a Web2.0 GUI. Where's that editable breadcrumb trail? ??meaning the list of pgmrks ~ that's about right for me it's an editable trail of mvmts online. Where's that wonderful whitespace that drew your eye to the content? y.
Honestly, the new site looks like Digg painted blue at a .5 sec glance. You might as well add some flash tags, hoverlink ads and banners while you're at it. & why stop there? You could give each user a homepage, a friends list, blog, and ZOMG Twitters too!
Also, is the redirect *really* necessary? I had .icio.us all set up in my password maker.

-I am lost and confused. Did I somehow stumble across some mutated form of digg? Where are my bookmarks and why am I looking at other people's public crap?

-i second, third and fourth this. please bring back the old site! there was nothing wrong with it. it was elegantly simple.

-Sorry, this is terrible. I'm switching as soon as I find the best del.icio.us equivalent. The design feels like del.icio.us is trying to be a social network app for everyone, instead of a bookmarking app for people who like simplicity.

-Here's another problem. Now when I have a link set to "private" instead of just a small red tag, there's a BIG grey marker with a lock running the one inch length that most links are now. More eye garbage.

-I want the old site back. Everything was just better. It seems this new thing is a redesign for redesign's sake. You want to improve a site, make it more reliable, perhaps add some unobtrusive new features. Don't try to make it more flashy, it makes it just annoying to work with.

-My eyes hurt. Why such small, low contrast text? Why so much extra noise at the top of the page? Why so many distracting and unnecessary hovery things?
I don't like the right-justified tags in individual bookmark listings; I have to completely change where I'm focusing to read a link title and then see how it's tagged, versus just being able to read down the screen.
I want the unbundled tags list back, and - if I must live with the tiny, tiny tag text (which I have to squint to read) - I want to be able to hide sorting options that I won't use. My top 10 tags? I don't care.
Speaking of hovery things, if there *must* be pull down menus we did have one in old dlcs, unde the Search box w 3 optns (search -yr bkmrks -everyone's bkmrks -th web) but it was a white box plain black text & the clickable down arrow plain like in firefox browser, I don't want to have to click on white space to make them go away, especially when they're covering other links (see, for example, pulling down the bookmarks menu and then trying to click "Subscriptions").

-Unable to scan my bookmarks. yes. unable. You have to concentrate on the lines to get over to the right-hand side to find out what the tags are... hard to tell which bookmark the tags belong to. Don't need a js hover to tell me i'm looking at a tag. All of the blue blends together. Where'd the pink go? ...I always praised you guys for such a clean no-nonsense design. well one cld call this new design more 'clean' ~ boxy, lined up ~ but the old design was no-nonsense. less is more. Google didn't need to update their design because it just worked. What was wrong with D1.0?

-think in goggle, it's interface is too simple, and everybody likes it, don't need to be too flashy... del.icio.us should be this way, if I wanna eye candy, sure go to elsewhere place...

-HATE IT. Sorry. the sorrys annoy me. is there any reason to day that other th to be obxnoxious? I use my links a lot in my academic research. The old UI was cleaner and easier to read. The layout blows...everything is way too big& chunky looking because its separated into date added blocks. I can't skim all my links easily. The fonts are ugly as are the colours...if colour blind can't see the pink then just add options to change those things individually. yes. and this is convincing, feeling again that it really is a shame to lose the old sight. gone gone gone.

-Goodbye simple, highly usable interface of del.icio.us.... Hello MyClutterSpaceBook2.0 Overdesigend GrayBling Version 2.0!!!
Did Joshua sign off on this? Joshua? *crickets*
This is a sad day for us old-school del.icio.us fans. I am only comforted by the knowledge that numerous geeks are likely scrambling to build a Stylish extension for Firefox that restores the classic look.
hope so. but-- doesn't the new backend mean more difficult to customize? 'less open API' sth like that.
