Hey, what happened to the Goodreads taskbar

[Brittomart]

I want my old one back :(

[[deleted user]]

Me too!

[Félix]

Why?

[Ken]

Huh?

[Félix]

What?

[[deleted user]]

Because it took me a while to find the sign out. Previously it was positioned to allow a single click of an icon.

[Félix]

They did?

[Jammies]

Yuk. I feel like a cat whose waterbowl has been moved six inches to one side. I'll just be on the back of the sofa, dying quietly but dramatically of dehydration.

[Ken]

Holy shit!

[Félix]

Seriously.

I know that's the truth.

[Félix]

I like when things change.

I did it was my accent that confused you.

[Jim]

Then accent away Gail :-)

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Jim this is a guide to help with your New Zealand accent.

[Jim]

Thanks Gail - yuppie!

[[deleted user]]

You are a fast learner Jum. :)

[Jim]

Well you helped me through my hulls and volleys.

What this all means of course is -- if I call Larry a chump in my New Zillund accent, he is really a monkey without a tail.

I don't know how I feel about it yet. But I do like the "random" feature under "Explore." You can tell it really is random because you get things like Bacterial Circadian Programs. "Since the discovery of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria in the late 1980s, the field has exploded with new information...."

[[deleted user]]

Hahahaha. I clicked on the Random feature. It came up with 'Principles of Grammar'. I think it's trying to tell me something.

Oh, your nice girl image is safe for now.

first thing i see when i get to goodreads: new taskbar. ugly! (and jammies said it best) when i used the random feature i got die schönsten tiergeschichten, a book nobody has read yet.

[Kevin]

i think we need to make a group protest to GR's

[Jaye]

My 1st 2 were in Italian.
There is this thread which includes a closed portion:

I don't like that the right hand side goes right off the page so you have to adjust things. And the inbox isn't on top.

Hahahahaa! Perfect!

[Phil]

Task bar? I'm supposed to be looking at the interface? I just go straight to TC and don't bother with the rest of it (except to mess with my shelves).

Take it to the Feedback thread.

[Sarah]

I like it. The old one didn't include a whole bunch of the features that are now easy to navigate. Before you had to go through three different menus to get to the giveaways, for example.

[janine]

it is easier to navigate, i just don't like the way it looks.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yeah, I'm not crazy about the look either. However, I am in favor of the new favicon.

[smetchie]

Me too! I love that brown lowercase g. (And I just learned a new word!)

[janine]

makes me think of chocolate.

[Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~]

kinda looks like a person with a snorkel

Even if you come straight here, the task bar is on top of every page you read at TC!

*goes back to dying on the sofa*

I don't look at the top. I go straight to "Discussions" then "Unread." You guys are my social circle. The rest is irrelevant.

The random selection took me a couple of tries to come up with something recognizable as a readable book but eventually got here.

Malt Whisky Almanac: A Taster's Guide

I'm satisfied with that.
