In many updates of web portals like the one BL just had - there is an oppotunity
for users to select 'the old version'.

If you look at paypal they offer 'Switch to Previous Account Layout'
at the bottom of their main page.

As far as I know BL runs on a SQL database with a web MMI on top. I guess that
BL2.0 has not caused changes in the database - just in the MMI.

So the old version BL 1.0 should probably be able to run side by side with BL
2.0 for a while until all bugs and errors have been fixed in BL 2.0.

It would be great for all if we could have the option to run our business in
the well proven old system while the BL team gets the new version to run perfectly.

I think your suppositions are incorrect. There is no way they could have implemented
all the changes in wanted lists and storefront without some changes to the database.

Please log issues in the helpdesk rather than asking for a version 1.

We don't care about few improvements cos they are clouded but slow-lines
and other useless changes. This update sucks so much it can easily host a new
show Bizarre Websites America.
Please note that some people still own computers, not everything need to be made
for a damn smart phone. If you care about smart phone users so much make them
extra interface at mobilecrap.bricklink.com, don't force everyone to use
it.

I agree also, nothing worse than coming to buy something and not knowing where
anything is, there was no warning that such a major change was taking place.
There are some nice features in the new version but also alot of Bloat that is
not going to be used by the average buyer.

Count me in for another vote for the old but familiar and backwards compatible
v1.0 bricklink. As a user of an older PC system running older software the new
version is extremely problematic. My two cents.

Exactly! I've got a laptop with a slow mobile connection, that makes BL very,
very hard to use, compared to the old version.
