Google's new 'images' format

Unfortunately, it works only as long as you keep that page open. You can do new searches, but each time you close Google and then go back to do another search, it resets to the new format.

Ditto -- I loathe it.

Yes, and all I can say to that is 'Thank God!'

The new version is cumbersome, slow to load, frequently stalls or freezes while trying to scroll, because it makes you wait while it populates that section, and seems to over-ride one's own personal setting. Without being forced to go through a bunch of extra steps, it won't let you open something in a new window, for example ... which means to get back to the search page, one then has to click to go back. You may land back at the start of the image search; you may land approximately at your take-off point; or you may land somewhere between, or somewhere else entirely in the search ... and then there's another wait while the page stalls and freezes as it tries to populate the page with images again.

If it weren't for the fact they let you switch back to the basic version, I'd stop using it entirely. If the new version becomes the only version available, I don't know what I would do. I would certainly be using it a lot less than I do now, simply because it doesn't work well with the way I want to use it.
 
I know, right! With the price I pay for the Google Images service, they should be asking me before making any changes!
 
I hate Bing so I hope they don't copy it too much. Bing seems to have a morality filter - anything gay or pornographic is filtered out and I have to turn off safe search each time. Ugh
 
I like it. I like rolling over a pic and getting a larger version with some info without actually clicking. There are a lot more results on one page, as well.
 
I'm still seeing it the OLD way --

I wouldn't have a problem with the new version - except as described, it will take about an hour to load one page of thumbnails on my 100 old computer.
 
I don't mind it, but I noticed that when I copied an image to show someone who I was chatting with on Facebook that the link was really, really long. It might have been that one picture but I'm not sure.
 
I don't like it.

I've tried a number of searches and it starts at the "29th" page and when you scroll down the page it starts to rush load the 28 pages before that.
 
I think that there some *catnip* exchange at the googleplex... After last month, when they imposed to us poor user horrendous background images that were majorly slowing down operation, what will they find next to annoy us?
 
UPDATE

It seems that Google has changed its collective mind about the new format and has switched it back to the old version. There isn't even a link to switch versions anymore.

It appears that the public has spoken and Google has listened.
 
Since this all occurred and I missed every moment of the drama, the intrigue,

the tumultuous crescendo of writhing masses of seemingly irate and of the Ire

of disgust and approbation expressed by the homoerotic and the even larger

groups of homo-tolerant/intolerant socio-politico parties, I need an identifier

to recognize a renewalof any encroachment of the status quo.

To wit...would this breech of ethics be catagorized as an Epic Fail ? Would

it the gain notoriety as a flip flop, a switch back, a double backwards twist

somersault, a fall back retreat, or a simple command like "Reverse all Engines

Scottie"???? As a self proclaimed tyro to the internecine chambers of this

computerology based battle front, I (and other neophytes) have an almost

incendiary need to know.

Please, discuss forthwith...........................

Nope! Perhaps you Canadians have been given a reprieve.

I just checked, Google is still giving me the stupid new image search, which I absolutely despise.

I've changed my default search to Yahoo.

Nope. It's back again. I've been getting the older version all morning. Just tried again and it's the new version again. Just like the HST, I'll have to get used to it, I suppose.

(I'll take Google's new version over Yahoo's ubiquitous Flickr pics any old day.)
 
Sunday -- I still have the OLD version --
is it Browser related? or are they doing some global geographical implementation plan (GGIP) -- lets think of a really cool acronym for this ...

i used to work with PISS -- the Personnel Integrated Sub-System -- guess who thought up that name !! go ahead - guess....
 
The new Google image search has two problems for me.

1) The interface is horribly designed. It takes so many clicks to get to the image you want, it's ridiculous. Then, trying to get back to the thumbnail page takes another bunch of clicks.

2) It doesn't work right. About half the time, the image in question will not completely load into that popup display window. That gives me a highly pixelated image which I can't do anything with. I have to shut down that image and open the image from the host web page into another browser window. This happens despite which browser I am using - it's even a problem with Google's own Chrome browser.

And, if I happen to be uploading (e.g., running torrents), the popup preview window won't respond - I can't even close it. And I can't switch back to the old version. You can scroll down through dozens of pages of thumbnails to get to that "Switch to basic version" button, but it won't hold. You have to do that for every single search! Ridiculous.

It's uncommon for Google to release such dysfunctional software.

Sorry, Google, but I have no choice but to abandon you.

Right-click on the Google image and open the link in a new Tab/Window.
