@swilford - Sykes I sent you a PM with a little feedback and a proposal.If there is a UX designer in your team, spank his butt a little and if there is none, please hire one for a permanent position.

I'm sorry, but when someone says, "Sit down and shut up you stupid kid!", to me it comes across that I and younger pipe smokers aren't wanted by the old guard. That we're not worthy and should just quit the hobby. To me it doesn't seem like something you'd say to someone you want around.
"Okay I am really confused here!?!?! How did "do we like the new site" start a old vs young fight?"
Me too 8O
"A specific bit of feedback, in the old site Estate pipes, when one clicked on ENGLISH or DANISH etc, all of the makers available were at the top. Even when a specific maker was selected, say DUNHILL, they were all still at the top (until a specific pipe was selected), which made it VERY EASY to navigate between brands/makers."
A great example of of constructive criticism, and one I heartily agree with.

Either the site has been smoothed and tweaked or I am advancing on the learning curve and have become more adept, but I am more comfortable with the site than I was. The annoyance aspect has faded somewhat, and the utility has become more obvious. I'm not saying I'm a happy camper yet, but I am more comfortable.
That's not very nice!
@pipemonk
Nice try, but I doubt your concern trolling in order to get hired by SP is going to work! Why don't you leave it to the pros, who built a multi-million $$ business, instead of the keyboard jockey arguing with the SecretRetailer on a message board!
But if we only give constructive criticism, how are we going to show everyone else on the forum how much smarter we are than everyone else?
You're setting a bad example for the rest of us on here. Every site should be specifically tailored to us, and we can't be inconvenienced to figure it out.
Now they updated the mobile as well, those bastards! lol. Still gets two thumbs up from me. Great layout and easy to navigate.
Wow... This thread took some unexpected twists and turns.
WARNING - Unbridled Personal Opinion Follows
I liked the pre-update version of the site better than the current iteration. I like the current iteration MUCH more than the version that launched live and inspired this thread. I found the "old" site design clean, easy to navigate and a refreshing change from the online shopping templates used by others in the tobacco and pipe e-tail game.
Like some of the other members who posted above, I visit the current site much less frequently than I did the older version.

Guys. Two things:
1. Thanks for the constructive feedback. SPC is working on getting things fixed. Can you please not beat this to death? Remember, they help us keep the lights on around here.
2. The troll, SecretRetailer has been banned, and his identity isn't so secret when I am the admin of the site. His other account has been banned too. He is in fact a brick & mortar store that also has a website. Typically B&Ms are not fond of competitive online retailers, and this is a good example of that.
I'm closing this thread. If you want to post any NEW, USEFUL, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, then please start a new thread.
