Does anyone here like what simplicity.com has done to their
web site? I really dislike all the pop-ups, fuzzy focus,
stupid categories, and layout. I just sent them an e-mail
asking that they re-think this, I can't use it for searches
anymore. I used to be able to look at patterns and the
envelope backs to estimate yardage before ordering online.
The new format stinks! :-(

Beverly, I am happy to know I am not the only one that dislikes the changes
made to the Simplicity site. How long will it take McCall's to copy it?
Maybe they won't.

What on earth am I missing? Is this the site everybody's talking about?
http://www.simplicity.com/c-144-patterns.aspx
What's wrong with it? There are menus on the left. I clicked on "Dresses"
on the menu and I get a page full of pattern envelope fronts just sitting
there no fancy stuff. Click on the pattern I want and there is a larger
image of the pattern front, along with tabs to see the back, etc. Even a
"magnify" feature to get a good look at details on the pattern front.
What's terrible about this? Am I looking at the wrong site?

You actually like a website which pops up stuff you don't
want to see every time you roll your mouse over it? I
don't. The former site was much more user-friendly, loaded
quickly and provided much better information. I suppose
next they'll require one to use a Twitter account.... :-(

I don't get any popups. Maybe because I use Firefox for my browser.
Like I don't see ads on blogs and web sites because I have ABP on
Firefox. A lot of problems I read about seem to be connected to the
browser being used.
