” Please note that the previous Google Analytics interface will no longer be accessible as of July 18th.”

Quick blog post about it with screenshot:

What is everyone's opinion? Which version do you prefer? For me I guess I'm a creature of habit, the old version still gets most of my usage.

I was literally 5 seconds away from posting this.

I personally hate the new interface

i will miss the old version. i'm not good at the new interface

I'm not very good with the new one either, however... the more I tinker with it, the easier (and more logical) it gets.

The prior one 'seemed' like the better one for a while, but it's slowly fading in my memory....

I haven't gotten around to learning the new interface as yet

[fablex]

I like the new one better.

It's also mentioned in the latest googleblog with the analytics changes. The release notes are here

I thought this was a beta? And why can't google just add new search engines when they become notable rather than only with a big update? Although this is the first time I've seen google update analytics since they acquired it.

damn thats bad...
I wish they'd put the calandar on the front page and have it so a single click shows the data for that date. Also I can't see reports by the hour anymore like to know the peak times. Maybe its there somewhere.

I liked the old version better but have forced myself to use the new and, like MrStitch, I am getting used to it. It's growing on me.

I actually don't mind this new one. Pretty nice.

I dont trust the new one. I always think it isnt reporting correctly.

I do like that you can drag and drop what you want, where you want. I don't believe you could do that with the old version.

i hate the damn new version , i just hate it for every reason , it loads so slow, its a day behind the old version and i dont understand the new version

[jtothek3030]

prefer the old version, it lacked bells and whistles, but got the job done. The new one is all style and no substance. And I can not access the calendar without getting flash error message. Anyone solve this problem because i contacted google and just got form letter.

I preffered long time previous version, but when I configured dashboard, looks better for me new interface.

I haven't had that problem. Could it be a browser issue? I use Firefox mostly.
