Did Amazon change their webpage?

I had the new version earlier today, but it changed back to the old version. Same computer, same browser. Strange...

Same here. I had the new one for a couple of weeks and it just changed back to the old site this morning.

Oddly enough only one of our computers has the new layout on the home page. Our old desktop we don't use near as much as the laptops.
  I was kinda waiting on my laptop tot get the new layout so out of curiosity I checked my husbands la[top the other day and it's still on the old layout.

All of my computers (work desktop, work laptop, home desktop) and my iPad are all still on the old version.

I've had the new webpage for several days and don't like it but I guess I will eventually be forced to get used to it.  I have a laptop and don't need all that white space.  I don't want so much personalization.  I really hate the emphasis on electronics in the directory and the simplifying of the directory.  Maybe I could live with the new homepage if I could click on "departments" and get the complete list without further clicks to finally get to the "department" I want.  Worst of all, during the entire period that I had the new homepage, I also experienced all kinds of problems on the website.  Sometimes I simply could not connect.  Other times, I connected, but could not navigate the links on the site.  And worst of all, I'd put something in my cart, click on my cart and it would show up.  But, when I clicked on proceed to checkout, it would say my cart is empty.  Very frustrating and it happened on both IE and Firefox.  Guess what?  About an hour ago, I connected to AZ and I got the old home page.  Guess what else?  No more webiste issue.  Everything worked like clockwork.

I have the old one back again.

I logged on here to see what people were saying after just getting it for the first time.  I don't like it at all. It's super personalized and truth be told my browsing history is close to irrelevant to me. It's definitely not how I want to see the page presented and it doesn't lead me to what I'm trying to find.  It reminds me of one of my favorite recent books, The Filter Bubble, about everything you miss because of personalized search results.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like it.  I still can't find the discussion boards on the site; the search feature doesn't help, just gives me books about discussion forums or a page with "tags" that just takes me to more books!   
I know change is inevitable, but lately changes just don't seem to mean 'better' (at least IMO).
Guess I'm just going to have to get used to it and figure out how to get to the things I'm interested in.

I get the new one on one computer; still get the old one on the other.  Not sure why (they both recognize who I am when I go to Amazon).
