The New and "Improved" website is a disaster

The New and "Improved" website is a disaster

Who designed the layout?  It is god awful chaotic.  Four columns, pop ups and ads all over the screen.  I understand the primary purpose of BP is to sell subscriptions, but can you at least pretend that the site is also a source of information for members who have a share interest in real estate?

And I don't know if it is just me, but that large purple banner pushing me to become a pro member no longer has an option to delete it from the screen.  I received a DM from a fellow member last week.  He's still waiting my reply.  Why?  Because that banner goes right across the bottom on the screen on my laptop, blocking the reply box entirely.  So if I don't elect to become a Pro member, I'm unable to reply to DMs?

On my mac with a 27" screen it looks fine.

Over the weekend I saw it on my laptop on a 17" screen and hated it. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to modify my screen.  What I really wanted to do was remove the left-hand Forums Categories menu that I never use.  Apparently you can't hide it even if it is useless. I'll be the BP team members have very large monitors.

I then tried to find a place to provide feedback.  Like many websites, they have removed the ability to actually reach people. I suppose the only way teach the AI designers is is to complain in the forums.

    I believe at one time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a way to contact the powers that to provide suggestions, or to report a website glitch.  Now?  Not so much.

      Just mention moderator if something comes up and one of us will see it. As mentioned, yeah some of these things with the forums design are already being reviewed.

    JD, appreciate the reply.
    My primary concern is that large purple sales banner that scans across the entire bottom of the screen on my 14 inch laptop.  It prevents me from replying to any messages I receive since the banner has no way to remove it.  The X to do so is no longer an option.  I sent a video of this about a week ago. 
    I'm curious if anyone has this same issue?

       I'm having the same issue with replying to messages also. Before I would see the entire blue Reply button. Now I see a sliver of it. I attempt to click on Reply and hope it goes through. So far it goes through but it's very annoying. I'm using a MacBook Pro so my screen is small, less than 13 inches, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Becca, I have the same issue on my laptop. . .that little blue sliver of the Reply button.  I manage to tap it and the message goes through.  I've learned to live with it.
