    Yeah i've been using this for the last week and although it looks a lot nicer... i think i still prefer the old layout. May change my mind once i get more familiar with it

    So far, I'm enjoying the new format. The new Dashboard gives a quick view of what you want and its easy to modify. Nice work overall.

    Regards,

    I like the overall look, too.
    What I don't fancy much is the feeling of hand drawings on some graphic stats. Needs a bit of fine tuning I think...

    I love the new layout. Good thing too since I check our stats several times a day ;)

    I prefer the old layout to the new one, mostly because I track 20 websites with Analytics and it is much easier to look at information as a whole with the old layout.

    If I were only managing one or two sites, I would probably prefer the new layout.

    The stats only update once a day at 0:00 GMT so you only need to check them once...... however even though i know this i still can't help checking them multiple times per day ;)

    One thing i forgot to mention before that i do love about the new version is being able to customise the dashboard. I can get to all my main areas of interest from one click now :)

    I do several logins daily myself, too. Not because I were hoping to see new updates (I know they are coming up once every 24 hours) but it's like you log in for a particular reason. I do that once to check on new visitors, then I get back to see the referral list and compare it to what I've got for previous days, then I remember I need to see something else so there you go, a single login per day might not be enough.

    I am not sure why, but old version updates date earlier than new one. Not sure why, may be this happens only with my statistics. I thought they both are using the same database :confused:

    The old version is alot easier at first. But I like the new version much better. It places more details on the navigation page, and allows you to see a larger timeline, imo. It is a little harder to get used to, but in the long run I think it will prove itself.

    Both allowed a larger time line, i find the extended time line very annoying since i manage many websites and need to generate weekly reports (which means i have to change the time span a dozen times a week). I also dislike not being able to check today's data, why take of a feature?!?! Oh I understand now its listing the data according to google's time instead of mine, which really screwed me up for a while there.

    It takes me twice to three times as long to generate a report on the new version compared to the old one, since I have to click through more pages.

    The new version is prettier, and has a bit of new information but they sacrificed an intuitive menu system (think drill downs and tree menus) for more graphics and flash.
