I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents. FWIW: I only use BP via a laptop so I can't comment on the mobile/ tablet experience. 

Bottom Line, not a fan of the new dashboard and it has decreased my use of the site. 

I enjoyed that the previous version that was forums focused and allowed me to see the threads that my connections had commented on. One of the largest draws for me on BP is the communtiy that the forums have created and the previous dashboard made it much easier for me to see threads/ posts that my connections, a group of ppl I've worked hard to curate over the past 5+ yrs due to their knowledge, expertise, and expertise, have to say. Now that I can't do that/ have to put in far more effort to do this, IDK how much I'll use the site. 

I get that the site needs to drive traffic to the higher profit lines of business/ ones with more engagement, but this dashboard has swung a bit to far the other way... Why do I have a Pro Banner top right when I had pro but canceled it? How many books does BP release in a yr that it needs its own tile? 

If I have missed a way to customize the dashboard and have the same functionality as the old version but with some add ons, I'm game. 

If I'm being completely honest, the UX on BP has felt like the death of a thousand cuts over the past three yrs where the prime directive is to cross-sell as many BP branded products to the users as possible. I get it, the site costs money and has to make money, but these recent UX decisions have seemed to forget/ miss the largest/ oldest product BP has to sell, which is a massive community of REI who come back to the site over and over.
