We're still working on a few things. I haven't decided how to handle audio feeds yet, because that code was legacy from the days before Broadcastify.

You might want to bookmark the new MyRR page - we're not going to put that on the home page anymore.

I miss the latest Forum posts from the front page. I often pop into the the front page several times a day for a quick glance at the latest forum (not news) posts.

For gawd sakes please bring back the original front page. This is just awful! The original page was
laid out (IMHO) perfectly. In most cases the term 'If it isn't broke, Don't Fix It' certainly applies
here. Why one must think changing, tweaking, and adjusting is always a good thing, isn't thinking?
If it were up to me, the person who implemented this would be given a few days off without pay!
(And putting the page back before leaving for the mini vacation)...

I needed the vacation... and I'm willing to forgo pay. Thanks!

Im sorry but the new page is a mess. I now have to jump all over the place to get the same info that was centrally located. Just because the original page was written in legacy code doesn't mean you can't use new code to provide the same convenience, that is unless the goal is to keep users on the site longer just to find what they are looking for.

What happened to the ability to favorite feeds to see them all on one page?

My Broadcastify

The world's largest source of public safety, aircraft, rail, and marine radio live audio streams

www.broadcastify.com

I'll be rewriting that soon as well.

I just got on and I too had to go all over to find the Forum pages.
So far the new set up is not FUN!! to use.

I agree, old system is much better and easier to use. Please take it back!

I tried to load up the mobile page and noticed that it’s deprecated. I would like to see both the standard url and mobile version up and running.

The database site has been rewritten to work properly on mobile devices.

The previous old mobile web site was implemented almost 15 years ago back before touch devices and larger screens existed.

We're moving forward folks. I'm paying close attention to your feedback, however I'm hoping folks here will provide me with feedback on how we can improve some of the directions we moved forward in, and not complain about change just because you don't like change.

You must be new here 😂

put the new post forums like it used to be.. The rest is acceptable but different.. Most folks drop in to see the new posts without having to search

The link for New Posts is in the "Community" drop-down box on the new RR homepage:

I like it, nice work.

Just visited the new RR homepage, and unlike many of the initial comments I read, I like several things about it. Radio Reference has a lot to offer members and non-members alike, but in the past (in my opinion) some of the things got overlooked or forgotten about, such as the wiki. The new site gets it seen and maybe people will explore (and learn) more.

The only thing I am not a fan of is the huge photo at the top I'd much rather see it reduced and the Explore our data and community section be moved higher.

I actually like the new homepage. It looks modern, and not as cluttered as the 'old' version. Obviously, the placement of the MyRR something new to get used to, but I don't mind.

No complaints. I had no idea that the mobile site is almost 15 years old. I’m all for change if it is possible. I’m sure that there needs to be some changes that needs to be made. I just didn’t see anyone else saying anything about the mobile site depreciated. Thanks for providing a one stop place for so much information.
