There are a few good points made in this thread, but also a few things which are still in the site, maybe users just haven't found them yet.

No, this isn't good enough and it seems that in your zeal to defend last.fm, you've missed the point entirely.

It's the equivalent of having someone remodel your house only to walk in and be completely lost to the point of barely being able to function. "When you ask, why did you take away the TV? I wanted to watch a movie." It is not satisfactory for the redecorater to say "You still have a TV, you just have open the closet, take out from behind the air conditioner and set it up in the kitchen."

Everything has been rearranged from its convenient, easy-to-find placement into an arrangement that requires a few extra clicks to do everything. Convenient and personal features have been removed or deemphasized. Instead of having everything at my fingertips, I always have "find them" as you say, as if this were satisfactory.

It's like putting the speedometer of your car in the glove compartment. Sure I still have access to it, but what good does it do me if it's not in a convenient location? If it's difficult to find? If, when I do find it, the numbers are small and hard to read?

That's what this update is like. My friends list has been deemphasized, and jammed in a forgotten corner at the bottom of the page. Their icons are shrunken, dwarfed by the humongous ad above them. My neighbors, instead of being a glace away as I look at my track list, are in a shoebox on a shelf in the closet. <sarcasm>Yeah, I'm sure I'll be visiting them more often now.</sarcasm>

Last.fm has been gutted. It's no longer user-friendly and fun. It's a maze. it's gone from a fun experience to a frustrating one. Time for another makeover. This one is an abomination. The designer should be flogged.

No, I've not missed the point entirely. If anything, you've missed the point of my post - I'm simply saying that some of these features which people say they miss do exist. I'm not a developer, I can't do anything about moving altering the menus or the locations of items, but what I can and did do was point out that some of these features still exist.

That's not being lost in my "zeal to defend last.fm", that's just helping people to find the things they're looking for.

when your top artist chart changes at the end of the week, it doesn't let you know what the previous position of the artist was, like it used to.

That was a Greasemonkey script (unless you're going back all the way to the Audioscrobbler days). You need to ask the script author to please update it.

There was a native last.fm version for just the weekly charts, though, Tarkus. It is now gone.

No, it's not my fault in any way, as I am a moderator not a staff member. I have nothing to do with last.fm except using the site and voluntarily helping on forums/wikis/etc. I even explained in that post you just quoted that I can't do anything about changing the layout or the location of things.

But my point is that I have nothing to do with the design, at all. I'm not related to last.fm in any way except that they've asked me to be a moderator - so applying
"yes but you(the one that designed this) ARE to blame for them not being found. sorry it is a simple fact . "
to a quote of my post is simply wrong. If something's difficult to find it's the fault of the staff, of which I'm not a member.

the taste-o-meter is still there!

things I miss:
-the shoutbox in a convenient place, I'm a heavy user, don't like too much scrolling to see it. and with this, I just miss the layout as it was
-dashboard with events from your friends, I'm sure I'm gonna miss out on gigs now
-weekly top artist on the mainprofile (because yes I'm aware you can still see them with some scrolling and click-click-clicking)
-the overall cosy feeling that the former lastfm had

I also think people should give the moderators a break, I think they've been more helpfull than they have to be.

I guess I feel partly to blame for all this, since I'm a paid subscriber and was told a few months back that I could become a beta user and give input. I did go to the beta site a few times and offered a few basic comments, but I didn't join the beta group or participate in the discussions. Based on what I've heard (and what last.fm is telling us), they tried to make the changes based on input from the beta users. Maybe if more of us had gone to beta and yelled about keeping the shoutbox, weekly artists, tag clouds, neighbors, etc..., this wouldn't have happened.

The question is: who were the beta users who LIKED things this way? Has anyone gone to the beta users group and looked at what they're saying? Is this what THEY wanted?

- the last played tracks picture mosaic.
- tag clouds.
- having my profile, groups and shouts in a decent well-thought place, not under some giant ad, while a stupid menu bar that should be horizontal is there taking its space

From the drip drip drip of the teardrops
To the chink chink chink of the cash
Everything leads to corruption.

I had a flashing avatar, bring that back. Bring back neighbors on the right. Bring back "about me" on the left under the avatar. Also bring back all recommendations grouped together.

I was there virtually the entire beta period. I would characterize the general opinion that most people liked the new features, such as rolling charts and recommendations, but hated missing features, such as no Reply Tracker and the reduced charts. I would say most didn't care much for the look and general layout, either. The flash player was particularly unpopular.

That said, it's only fair to point out that many improvements were made based on user feedback. For example, the About Me used to be right below Recently Listened Tracks, and Recent Visitors were only shown on the home page for subscribers.
