What happened to the "List" version of QRZ home page?

This afternoon, I stepped away from my computer for a while and when I came back, the QRZ home page is now displaying in 'squares' rather than the "LIST" format that I much prefer. I am hoping this is just a temporary situation because, the button at the top of the page to choose is no longer visible...

 

Same here.

 

I strongly suspect if more folks had actually tried the List view instead of just settling for the default Grid view, there would have been far more fans of the List view.

This change sure makes for a very unpleasant viewing experience of the cluster-clutter of boxes on the Zed's home page.

 

Thanks for the explanation, Jamie. Unfortunately, that format is SO "busy" that it almost gives me a headache. I hope that this changes in the future, since a collage of pictures is not what I can get along with. The list format was used by more than 1% of us, I'm sure. Hopefully, your new improvements are easier to look at when they come. I really don't like having to pick out pictures of what I would like to see, especially in the swapmeet area. But, I will hang on to see what future changes reveal. If you're changing to accommodate smart phone users, there are still plenty of us who continue to use a steam powered desktop computer even though we still have to kick-start it in the mornings! 73, Paul - K7IN

 

Yes, my brain can't easily make orderly sense of all the random boxes. It doesn't know where to look. The list was very intuitive.

 

I too, find the "square boxes" format too "busy" and dizzying. I am one of the few who used the "List" format. I view the home page of QRZ multiple times throughout the day but will likely not so much with this square box layout. 73, George - KD4QMY - QRZ Premium Subscriber

 

Or maybe I'm just going blind and not seeing it. All the boxes seem out of order, the list view makes more sense to my feeble brain. Is there a way to see it that way again? I tried 2 different browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and it's not up in the top left like it used to be.

Thanks!

I agree. I don't think they bothered to ask those of us who actually spend a lot of time on their home page which they preferred. It would be nice if they got real data from their users rather than just decide for everyone. But, I don't run this show, and am still happy they are here. - Paul - K7IN

 

For reference, here's another boxed page, if you select Large Grid view or Grid View. It is much easier to follow than QRZ. It's left to right and up to down. with additional lists on the side. It has a list view available, but I prefer Large Grid view. https://slickdeals.net/ (slickdeals dot net) I have no affiliation.
I hope QRZ is working on a much less chaotic and uncomfortable front page, perhaps with some ideas from the page I linked.

 

Also, the boxes all move around if you resize your browser, reordering/reorganizing them, which is even worse.

 

I use large grid so I can zoom down the list instead of eye scanning each and every item....

 

I do not like the grid view at all. I always used list view.
