It was quite a surprise. I have been a Member since 2012! Nice layout, I like the "sort" buttons at the top of each field very much. I have a question though, my laptop is not auto-refreshing any longer, I have to reload to see if something new is going on. Is there a setting I need to update?

I don't see anywhere that a feed status updated shows on the new player interface. Am I missing something? Does the feed have to be down in order for a status update to show?
Which page are you not seeing a status? On the county level lists, the dot on the left column indicates online/down for the list of feeds. On an individual feed I am seeing Online/Offline in the top grey bar for the player, and in the Feed Details section below.

I’m a don’t move my cheese guy so my 1A is give us the option to roll back to the classic look. Not a fan of the new.

My 1B. I haven’t looked at it on the Mac yet but on mobile in the US the big honking map makes scrolling or selecting states not in the Central or Mountain time zones a beast. My listening is mainly East Coast and it’s hard to scroll past the map to the state text area and when trying to scroll the map I’m always t states I don’t want to listen to. Sorry, Indiana and Kentucky. A text based only like the old look without the map option on mobile would be great.

1C the black and red colors were better than the blues and green. Would love to have color theming options.

1Dish. Photo attached of big honkin middle America that grinds scrolling to a halt.

I’m suffering from a severe lack of coffee but it took me a few days to realize clear gray circle meant offline and filled in lime dot meant online. I guess? The old with the big red offline was way more effective.

Don't you understand, that when UI interfaces are changed that it is forced like Hitler, with no chance for redemption, no matter how terrible it is. This has been some kind of twisted code of the internet for over 30 yrs now.
We’re going to jam a few more changes down your throat in the next few weeks, so open wide.

in the mean time, I need to fix a bug regarding the feed status text field from feed providers. Stay tuned… and Thanks for pointing that out

It’s not BAD. But when you have something that works and looks good already change just to change never makes sense to me. I’m living the same regret after updating the pulsepoint app this morning before properly coffeenating myself. Major downgrade on their app in the new release. Fortunately my work phone still has the better old version.

Off topic but if the Broadcastify site is getting a fresh look I’d still love to see the app resurrected and updated to add the Calls. I still have 1 or 2 old devices it works on for now but each time I upgrade a device I lose it on one more. It was one of the better apps at the time and still holds up even after not being supported.

The map can still be a pain to navigate around. Might just be my phone but if the map layout can match the RadioRefernce side it would be a huge improvement. The ones there work great.

In the less whiney first world problems side the new archives look is working awesome so far. Well done there!!!
