New look of italki

Hello, earthlings!

 

 I am certain that there are other similar discussions regarding the new look of italki but I cannot find them at the moment. Hence, I have decided to start a new one. I find quite a few changes really annoying, specially the inbox! Before, all my messages were clearly visible and the messages were spread out throughout the page, whereas now, it is like a drop down menu and there is no option of enlarging the message inbox page. Before I could prioritise, which ones to reply to urgently, as it gave you partial or full visibility of the message in question. Now, that option is gone out the window and I have a clutter of messages, cumbersome to sort out.  Personally, this has been the biggest drawback for me. On the upside, the site is quite faster than before, and members' profiles are more user friendly.

 

 What do you like or dislike about the new interface? Any suggestions to enhance the site even more? Do you miss any of the old features?

MY problem is that you can no longer search for language partners by city, this pretty much ruins the site for me. :(

Yes, the whole thing sucks.

 I prefer Italki's classic version and  as there is still this possibility ,   I switch  to it  a few seconds after  I have entered this site. I think the classic version is clearer and more functional. I don't understand  the reason why it has been changed. Moreover  in the new version I can  see  the teachers schedule only partially. I wrote to Italki , but this problem is  linked only  to my computer.  I don't know why: I  have never had this problem with the classic version.

I am still unhappy with the fact that you can not post images/pictures apart from the notebook area which is not where I want my stuff to be, I want them in discussions to give people a good laugh.
