Zeev, I use the imdb extensively and was shocked when I saw the change.  For me, at least for now it's more difficult to use and looks very cluttered.  Hey, I guess someone has to substantiate their job by making something that worked well, "all better and new" but unfortunately, that's not the cas

Talking about "why change it if it works already", I received an email a couple of weeks ago from Ebay stating that come March (I believe) they will be changing the listing form when you want to sell something. I sell the same items all the time, poster frames. My listings are already all set up

Hi, Zeev, et. al., from Joe B in New Orleans. I think I agree with you but haven't had time the past few days to really use the new format much. What I really wish they would do is devise some way to keep those semi-literate, ignorant pseudo-movie-fans off the comment boards at the bottom
