I happened to check it out today, lo and behold, it looks fantastic. Makes me want to get back on it and offer some gigs. Check the site out if you haven't yet.
I'm going to have to take some time to get used to the new layout. It looks nice, but it looks like some of the functionality was stripped away.
In their blog it says: We are introducing dozens of new game changing features that will allow our sellers and buyers to manage and scale up their businesses. Hopefully that's what it will end up being.
I like and dislike the new design, i do find SOME things harder to find, there needs to be more access to sub categories
i like the new style and apparently they are bringing in different pricing structures too so sellers can charge more. Always been a big fan of fiverr.com
