What in the blue frig has happened to Google images?

[An tSaoi]

Am I the only one for whom it's gone all different and wrong?

[DJ Solid Snail]

No. I am similarly displeased. I like that you get more images on a page by them cramming them all together like that, but you can't see the image sizes unless you either click on them, or change the option on the bottom left - but then you have to do that every single time. There isn't even an option to change it in your 'search settings.' It's rubbish. They've made a huge mistake.

[An tSaoi]

Try actually clicking on an image. Rather than having the thumbnail in the little frame at the top, and the regular page below (with the image in its original context or whatever it used to say), they've stuck the image right over the page, and the information frame at the right. Absolute madness.

Why the fuck do people have to insist on changing things that worked perfectly well as they were? Jesus, that's just nasty.

[Small Man Big Horse]

It's working fine for me. Odd.

[George Oscar Bluth II]

They've made a huge mistake.

[Big Jack McBastard]

God that's jarring, not good, do not want.

[biniput]

It's so fucking stupid and unusable. With the information underneath you can have a good idea on the links further use, like a blog over an advert. With this such data takes ages to garner. Yet another example of assuming what people want. Should be a function to reverse this.

If you scroll down to the bottom when you've done a search there's a 'switch to basic version' option.

Ahhhhh...

Nice one, you.

Ripped of bing again. I'm not sure what Google are playing at, but they keep changing their search engine so it looks more like an inferior rival.  Weird.

[Cerys]

_{I quite like it.}

I use http://elzr.com/imagery when I want to do some proper image searching, it's the same results as google but in a fancier package. It does need Firefox to work though.

Looks cack to me!

http://www.tineye.com/ is an interesting twist on image searches, you feed it an image and it does a reverse search and finds where that image is on the web. Clever!(when it works)

Not having used Bing, I didn't realise that was the influence. Has anyone used Bing? If not, why are Google bothering to emulate it?

[Gradual Decline]

Bing maps I enjoy immensely, the bird's eye view function is great. The rest of Bing ain't too shabby. I suspect Google is just having a spruce up, rather than reworking functionality.

It copied Bings left hand nav/filter bar, its big image background on the homepage and now its image search, when what they had previously was actually better.

[Mildly Diverting]

And now Gmail's gone down, at least for me. Not best pleased with those Google people at the moment.

[alan nagsworth]

This really is cack. I wouldn't mind the option to switch back to the classic version, if it weren't for the fact that it resets that option every time you close the tab or search in another one. Absolute garbage. And how many fucking pages insist on loading on one page? My browser and my eyes are literally being shafted by some fucking wack new kids on the block bullshit right here.

Google images isn't part of CaB, you know.

[Serge]

For some reason I still have the old version. Not that I'm complaining...

[vrailaine]

never mind that, what's happened all the text sizes here? Some are gone huge, then when I scale them down, the smaller ones seem much smaller than they used to.

[gmoney]

Have you been drinking from bottles marked "DRINK ME" and cakes marked "EAT ME"?

[Neville Chamberlain]

I quite like the new google image thing :o(
