New JetPhotos.Net

Hi Guys,

What do you think?

http://www.jetphotos.net

A bit too much like photos.aero for my liking – but I’m sure it’ll grow on me.

I wonder how long this option will remain for?

Probably not long. It reminds me of when facebook changed and everyone was up in arms but we soon settled into it.

I don’t mind the new JP. It’s still the same site with the same functions. At least they haven’t compressed the front page images so they look disgusting!

If you look in the top right hand corner there is an option to switch back to the old “classic homepage”.

I wonder how long this option will remain for?

In your user settings you can switch it permanently to the old style.

It is a guddle, too complex and is enough to intimidate the first time viewer.

Love that word! What does it mean? Hope it’s Scottish!:)

Why did they do that, it seems that they’ve tried to copy a.net’s latest design which IMO is still cr@p?

Both sites have lost the 3 columns idea with everything neatly set out, and gone for this ‘modern’ look where they just seem to throw all the elements of the homepage on to a blank wall, and see where they stick!

Looks like it was coded by an amateur. Home pages should be simple and easy to navigate and the new JP Home page is neither.

It is a guddle, too complex and is enough to intimidate the first time viewer.

Ditto, always has been a slow site to load for me, so until that improves, I am an absentee.

Jetphotos has always been cluttered with far too many ads and pop ups for me. I’ve probably visited it 3 or 4 times in the last 4 years.
This change means there are even more now.
I shall continue my non usage of the site.

IMO, the clutter of the home page degrades the quality of the stuff inside the site.

Totally agree, the first thing that I was drawn to was the large advert just under the main hompage titles…and its not even aviation related, so my interest was almost lost straight away!:(
