Is everyone going to the New SpanishDict ?

Question

I looked at the new SpanishDict site and was wondering if you just move your same account over there or will there be two sites?

Never mind, I just signed up and I was already on. - Ranman, Jan 13, 2012

I expect we'll get used to it. But I already am used to this one! - annierats, Jan 13, 2012

Do you understand the concept of a "beta" version? - 0074b507, Jan 13, 2012

I don't know what the beta version is... does that mean test version? - katydew, Jan 13, 2012

Yes, that is what I understand a beta version is: a trial or test version! - FELIZ77, Jan 13, 2012

@Q: as in beta-carotene? Is SD going to work like an antioxidant for us now? :) - cristalino, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 1

I must admit, my first impressions are...........its horrible!!!! But then again, I don't like change lol. No doubt it will grow on me. Until I'm forced there though, I will remain here with the old format.

I am the same way. - Ranman, Jan 13, 2012

I... agree. This is shocking! - Gekkosan, Jan 13, 2012

I don't like it either. - cogumela, Jan 13, 2012

I also agree with you...:) - Miro74, Jan 13, 2012

I took a look too, and fled! - annierats, Jan 13, 2012

The Spanish Grammer quizes are kinda cool. - Ranman, Jan 13, 2012

I hate to be the dissenting opinion, but I think it's well designed, pleasing to the eye, and super modern looking with just the right bells and whistles. - territurtle, Jan 13, 2012

The user interface is fine but I think it should be resized to a larger format like it was. - EL_MAG0, Jan 13, 2012

Yes but is the old site going to continue to be available? - caza, Jan 13, 2012

I am staying here until I am forced to move. - ian-hill, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 2

I'm on it right now and I like it so far. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion... don't avoid it simply because you're not used to it. If we don't test it out then how will we be able to find (and tell the admins about) any bugs there might be?

I think the same way. Now, I wonder if i can edit my comments... ? ;) - chileno, Jan 13, 2012

No. I guess it is asking too much. :^) - chileno, Jan 13, 2012

Yep, completely agree, Holly. - territurtle, Jan 13, 2012

I agree also, hollyjolly - 00434ec3, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 3

Don't forget everybody to press the prnt scrn button on your keyboard and paste into an image file and take lots of screenshots so we'll never forget teh "good old days"

I love the new one though Especially the grammar section wow!

Agree about the grammar section! - MLucie, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 4

Hi all,

I like the change; it's very healthy and chalenging. Any way, anyone may face some problems until he/she get used with the new design ...

I liked the new thing add to the Conjugate section, is that, in the search box, you can now insert the infinitive form of the verb or the conjugated one ...

Very nice ...

Thanks ...

Answer 5

Woah! They are super fast with fixing things! I sent in some feedback about the post layout (I'm sure others did as well) and now the "post info." is on the bottom. =D

Answer 6

I like it, but I always tend to like new changes.

I still have a lot of looking around to do though, but I see that the new lessons are finally available to everyone.

I do think that this stuff should be on the bottom of the post, though. It is a bit annoying on the top. >.<

Answer 7

Like others, change is a strange thing. I do think with helpful feedback and a willingness to try something new, the new spanishdict will be user-friendly in no time!! Thanks to all that have been a part of the new look!! Abrazos

Answer 8

I love it! I've done some of the quizes in the grammar section. Just wonderful. Usually have trouble with changes but this seems to be much better than the old one. Still, it will take time to get used of it but my bar of Chrome is already filled with fast buttons of Spanish Dict, the new style...

Answer 9

I didn't even notice this! =)

I don't like that feature. I will make it harder to spot new members and welcome them to the site. - 0074b507, Jan 13, 2012

Nice. - katydew, Jan 13, 2012

I like its easy and uncluttered - teasip, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 10

Dont mess with success.

I haven't even been to the new site and just from the comments I don't like it.

I need the á é í ó ú ü ñ ¿ ¡ bar as I can't get these easily any other way.

I dont use smileys but many people do. And to have to know the shortcuts. Come on!

I'll go look but I will stay here as long as a can with the old site.

My sentiments, too, except I probably won't go look. - Jubilado, Jan 13, 2012

Yes as they saying goes -if it aint broke don't fix it! - caza, Jan 13, 2012

Okay. I am adjusting. The grammar thing is great. It is harder to separate posts. And the dictionary is hidden at the bottom instead of the top. But Ok! - gringojrf, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 11

I would like a little more infomation please about what members do now. Do we get changed over automatically? (I am permamently signed in) Will the old SD site still be available, because judging by some of the comments I've read through some members are saying they will stay with the old site. It may not be possible.

Also there is some confusion re which new site as the first post I looked at was posted in August 2009

Answer 12

There is something new. Look at the Spanish grammar under Learn. Click on that and tons of new lessons will open. Take a look. These are the new practice lessons. They are great and we have hundreds of new lessons and tests.

Ok,, It's under learn and select Spanish grammar

Thank you, I was wondering where to find the practice facility. - caza, Jan 13, 2012

I love the new tests! - MLucie, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 13

Tried to go, didn't work. Guess I'll stay here until this, like me, becomes obsolete.

Traté de ir al nuevo sitio, no me sirvió. Supongo que me queda aquí hasta que, como yo, se haga anticuado.

Como dijo Gaius Valerius Catullus:

Frater, ave atque vale. Saludos y adiós, hermano.

Answer 14

I like the new look of the new site, but I will have to agree with some of you. I will be staying with the old format because of the way the forum is set up and I like how I can see my points in the corner of the page. I was on the new one, but when I did the flashcards I lost around a 1000 points due to it saying I was not logged in and I was! So...I will stick with the old!

Make sure you send feedback to the admins so they can fix this problem. :) - hollyjollyberry, Jan 13, 2012

I did! but I will still stick with the old due to it is faster on my internet connection! - Tonyico, Jan 13, 2012

Answer 15

I still liked the old one. but I will adapt to the new
