It also now only shows 3 pages of results and no longer even indicates how many items are available. So totally screwed up.

Hover-over-graphics havigation tools don't work work for blind people using screen-readers, or for many of the assistive devices used by people with mobility disorders.

They have an amazing complex information architecture and they managed to simplify it about as well as I can imagine doing. The horizontal features scale up and down pretty well.

I've never liked the side-style menus though, as I find myself moving the mouse to the menu and invariably hit the option above or below before I make it.
