Tomorrow will mark the transition to the new AoPS. Many feel that the new site is worse than the current one. The current AoPS is easy to use and is pretty comfortable, while the new one looks a bit uncomfortable, and creates problems for many old AoPSers. What do you think?

I think this is due to the Status quo bias.

'Tis true. Just for kicks, here is the thread discussing reaction to the website when it was last updated (to this new format). Notice how there are a few things mentioned in that thread that we enjoy or don't mind that were considered detrimental to the site when they were first released. I personally see both good updates and bad updates in this new format, but I'm pretty sure that since the entire fundamental organization of the site isn't being drastically changed (unlike, say, brilliant.org back in November 2013) I'll get adjusted to it after a while.

WOAH, this new website is totally cool.

What I don't like about it is the sharp edges of everything, It feels a lot more pleasing to me when all rectangles have slightly rounded corners.

In addition, I don't really like contrasting colors that much. The red really stands out a little too much for me.

Here's one suggestion:
In the old site, there was an option to view a PDF version of a contest to print it. That should be added here, too.

Sigh lost all my friends already, and it's hard to work my way around. I'd like to bookmark some old forums too :/
Is there any way for us to open the old forums for just a bit to retrieve some things?
And all the animations are gone nuhh

Hi! The first (and currently only) problem I noticed was that at the bottom of the community page, the list of online users says:

Who is online?
There are 5 users online, including the 1 registered members listed below and 1 other hidden registered users.
View Memberlist
Registered users online: mikechen

However clearly I'm not the only member online (other than that hidden one), considering how people are posting here. According to someone else, they see that they are the only member online too. Help?

EDIT: nvm this is fixed

In the old forums, mods/admins monitored to make sure threads were posted in the correct forum. In the new forums, with many subforums turned into tags, are mods/admins going to monitor tags instead? I can imagine tons of people will not be used to tags and will simply skip them, making posts in a certain topic (ie: American Mathematics Competitions, or Number Theory Unsolved Problems, etc.) hard to sort out.

Reminder: For anyone reporting bugs, or who wants to know how to find something or do something, please start another thread in the Site Support forum. We'll answer questions as they come up there. It's much easier to track them as individual issues than to try to sort through a long thread picking everything out.

honestly, you guys just have to get used to it. a lot of the things that you guys are complaining about, they're here on the new site too, you guys just don't know how to use them or where to find them. i find it a bit rude that you guys are complaining about something that the staff at aops worked really hard on for such a long time, without even giving yourself time to adjust. of course it's a new site, so we're all gonna have trouble for the first few days, but as you get used to it, it's gonna get better. everyone seems to be just hastily jumping to conclusions without even trying to give the new site a try; just because it's unfamiliar to us doesn't mean that it's bad. eventually we're all gonna get used to it and probably like it better than the old site.

Well, it's just I like it a lot better when I can see all of the threads on one page, and I figured out how to use the old aops really quickly—it's design was already excellent.

It's cool how they automatically tag forums now based on key words. For example, I typed in coordinate bash and they added an "analytical geometry" tag.

i prefer the new site. those who don't may just not have been to one of the tests or haven't understood it well enough to figure it out yet. in time, people will get used to it, and realize all of the new and cooler stuff. remember this too, the admins are saying that this is just the first stage of implementation, and as time goes on, they will re-add some of the old stuff back in. they just had to take it out for the release. my suggestion to those who don't like it. don't mope about it, explore, play around, think about all of the new, cool stuff.

Is it just me or has there been a whole bunch of unnecessary posts all complaining about how the old site is better, and there is no feedback at all from the posters at all.

I think we should just stop, and if we have to complain, be nice and give suggestions so you're actually doing something helpful instead of piling up posts.

I did like the new AoPS because it was simple to use. Even though the new site is more complex, I think it will just take time to get used to it. I think that it isn't bad.
