I was wondering its a long shot Im not sure if it is even possible to implement
any of these ideas lol

But I know how Bricklink are trying to get us to embrace new changes a little
bit and I know change is sometimes really hard to take. Especially for some
of the long time users that run as a full on professional business, may find
it really difficult.

Instead of forcing it upon all members. Maybe make it that all new members that
register from say 1st June will not get access to old lists etc, they will only
see the new lists and they will not even know any different!

One of the problems I can see with this is that if a customer contacts a seller
about some issues (i.e. they can't figure out how to do something, can't
find a feature, etc.) an old-time seller won't be able to direct them properly
because they don't see the same things. The website is already so large and
complex, having two versions would be a nightmare to manage and guide people
through. That's just my initial thought on it.

I already can't find features.
