New REA Platform?? is this Legitimate?

[seablaster]

The REA guys are following this thread I'm sure, so I'll mention this. Being able to see the bid history is great, but I would definitely tweak it so that the bids that are placed by the user are distinguishable from other bidders. I think the old auction software had that with the user's 6 digit bidder number visible.

Whenever anyone changes the interface to anything, the immediate reaction among most people is "oh jeez, why did you need to change it." We don't like change on websites. Or restaurant menus.

I do wonder what they think is better to users from this new set up, as opposed to just different looking.

Really enjoyed the new website! Looking forward to using it in the future!

From a brief tour and browsing of the current auction.

Pros
Very clean, better than old website.
New platform is great
Seeing total cost is awesome and makes things easier.


Cons/Improvements
As echoed by others, clicking the next page and the page not refreshing to the top should be address. Even at 100 items per pages....that's 31 pages of having to scroll to the top...which is not the best user experience.

The prev buttons and next buttons are very light, might consider darken the text.
