The new format is fresh and new, but I can think of some things that meet that description but are less than appealing. ;)
I went through a bit of puzzlement before I figured out how to use the new zip download interface. It's a bit more work than the older version. Of all things to push more out of view, that was not the best choice.
What I haven't seen in the new setup is the option to increase the size of the thumbnails when you're viewing the contents of a photo gallery. I'd checked through the user settings to see if they'd done that, but I didn't find anything. If you ask me, the thumbs are too small.
ALS Scans, which is under the MetArt umbrella, does a better job at thumbnail size. Could the child be the father to the man?
I'm sticking with "classic" MetArt for as long as I can. And the "live girls" will go on living without me.

I am still using the old format. I find it easier and simpler.
I did not pay any attention to the Beta version pushing the live girls section in my face, as that doesn't interest me.
What I did find was that the Beta version name tag was different for the same photo depending on which version you download from. I ended up with duplicates. So it is not so easy to change to the Beta.

I agree the old format is much easier and simpler to use.
Plus, it's the once I've been accustomed to.
Separately, the new format can mess up the intro page.
A few days ago, the new format page came up automatically, and everything was in tiny size. The thumbnails were tiny, the text size was tiny, and there were 2 black bars on the sides of the page that took up most of the page.
I sent an email to Met-Art support, asking how to get rid of the page and return to the old format.
Support emails me back, within a few hours, but their reply was not useful. They said they could not duplicate the effect that I was seeing for the Met-Art page.
I increased the size of the page using the VIEW-ZOOM option on my Firefox browser, and that allowed me to find the icon to return to the old format. (I couldn't read the page in the new format since everything was so tiny, except for the 2 black bars which were taking up most of the page.)
Anyway, I will use the old format as long as I can.

ALS's redesign several years ago is one of the only ones that I really liked. Too often redesigns actually ditch good features or leave behind a portion of content. I haven't checked out MetArt's redesign, but I see where you guys are coming from with the complaints.

REPLY TO #3 - lk2fireone :
Yesterday the option changed again to "Thanks for using our public beta. Click here to set this as default" but there was no way to go back to the "classic format". Fortunately, there is a setting in "options" that allows you to set your default to "classic". This works, but my browser spends a lot of time switching from the now global-default new format to my personal setting classic format.
I would not mind the new format so much if it provided me with one-row per day (i.e. 4 sets) like the old one did, if it used the same naming conventions and if I could do the same things in the same number of clicks. (i.e. download a zip file) Both formats leave huge amounts of unused space on the sides. If the goal was to provide larger thumbnails, just take up some of that unused space.
