New Avenue Look
What do you guys think of the new look of A2L? I personally liked the old one better, everything in this version is separate like the content, discussions and calendar. Although I guess it looks "nicer"  |

There was no point in changing it. All the did was categorize some of the links, that didn't need categorizing, and called it an update. Unnecessary.

Oh yeah, not a fan. I hope they're still working on it cause there's some things they need to fix I just went on it now and the content link was under the avenue sign so it was hard to see/click.
I don't even think this one looks better.

I think the front page is horrendous but I will admit that I like how everything seems much neater. This is one of those changes I don't really mind and think that it may have had more benefit than harm.

Meh, the math department doesn't use avenue to learn, so this isn't a huge inconvenience for me.
I'll admit it looks like sh*t though.

If you click on the down arrow by the term (i.e. T1), the courses go away, so you just see the term. But, yes, that is annoying...makes me feel old.  |

Is everyone oblivious to what it is?
It's Facebook...
Look at the layout. You can say you hate it, but you use it every day, 5-10 times a day when you log onto facebook...
