Re: Don't get rid of the OLD INTERFACE! |
I think Booman7736 means how many results are shown on one page.
In the old, all captures are shown at once, and on a typical screen size it might be required to scroll down about one screen's worth to see the full list in years with many captures. All dates can be reviewed in two gestures (click 'take me wayback', scroll-down-one-screen).
In the new, only a year is shown at a time, so to see all the years for this URL requires 8 additional clicks/page-reloads, one for each year. (Some users may not even realize how to go to previous years; the visual hints that the top timeline year boxes are clickable aren't very strong.) Also, on many screens, seeing the last 4 months of each year requires scrolling down. So reviewing all dates requires 16+ gestures: 'take me wayback', scroll-down, [scroll-back-up,] click prior year, repeat.
This is offset a bit by the multi-year timeline for getting a rough sense of when captures were most frequent, and by the new 'next'/'previous' and click-into-timeline features of the in-page toolbar.
