New Aweber Layout?

Do you use the new Aweber 'Compose Message' interface or do you revert back to the previous broadcast editor?

I have to say that I find the new way confusing so hopefully they will keep the old way of editing.

    I also found the new way of editing a pain in the backside but I just dealt with it and after a few emails I am now getting used to it.

    It's like when Facebook change their layout and everyone complains and then a few weeks later everyone is used to it.

    It's obviously the direction they are heading so you may as well get used to it now.

    Yes Ben, I revert back to the old 'Classic' every time.

    So often 'progress' means annoying the user base my moving most functions and users have to waste time finding them again e.g. Word 2003 > Word 2007.

      Great to hear it's not just me. I won't mind for as long as they keep the classic editor. I'm really not keen on spending hours re-training to use what is essentially an unnecessary complication however.

        Sure, I preferred the old way as well. But I can tell you it isn't going to take you hours to get the hang of this new one.

        It took me all of 20 minutes. It's actually quite simple when you play around with it.

    Personally I see no problem with the old way. It gets exactly what you need to get done so I always revert back to it.

      Quite right. It does exactly what you want it to do. Also, if I wanted to add extras to the message I'd compose it in an HTML editor anyway.

    I use the old way. The new user interface seem very user-unfriendly to me but definitely it has much nicer design.

    Not only is the new layout a little less intuitive but I found it's just SLOWER. It takes much longer to load everything than the pervious set up.
