Anyone who follows this forum is probably curious as to what has been going on recently, and where the "new" UI is?*
Well, it is coming along, albeit rather slowly. But to at least show some progress, I'll try to get some screen grabs up at the end of next week to demonstrate some of the changes, although they will all be very provisional in nature.
*I am trying not to stray too far from the current design to help manage the change.
Originally posted by RussDude, people just got done bitching about the last UI change. You miss it? Is that why you're doing another?

There will be fallout. A lot of older browsers (IE8, your time is up) will no longer be supported.
But, the last update was a half-way step to better mobile/tablet support, and this will complete that process.
The navigation will be near identical though, so everyone should be able to find their way around just fine.
edit: Last update was 1.5 years ago…so it has been a while. And a beta will allow everyone with any interest in this process to feedback prior to release.

These grabs are VERY provisional. Anything and everything could change prior to release, or even the beta. The key objective here is to complete the move to supporting all devices. The boards will scale to match your screen and the pages will arrange themselves to best suit your device.
If successful, the mobile web app that some user's access the service with(mobile.redhotpawn.com) will cease to exist.

Originally posted by RussNot bad at all. I think it's enough like the old screens to not cause too many headaches on the switchover. Of course you'll always get the ones divegeester described, but not much room to complain on these screens, anyway. The auto-scaling and auto-arrange features will probably help with that, too.
