In general, I like the new look and options for customizing, but I've found a few "broken" things: 1) <center> tags are now completely ignored, and as a result there is no way to center headings or other content! 2) Within tables, the <td colspan=x> no longer works - it gets treated as a plain ol' column. Net effect = nice alignment of information across multiple columns is no longer possible. I don't use <td rowspan=x> anywhere, but that might be toasted as well... 3) Gallery Title data is now used - untranslated - for the page header. If anyone is using any HTML tags as part of their Gallery Title, as I was, you get a really ugly page title as a result. 4) The "Top Picks" widget still pushes page content off the page, and/or leaves a lot of dead space underneath it. Note that this is not new, just "still broken"... Let me reiterate that in general the new look is a step in the right direction, there are just these pesky nits I'm compelled to pick!

I thought they had dissapeared too, but did locate them after a bit of searching. Try clicking on one of your sections/folders then look on the right side of the title. You will see a link that says "Manage this product line". When you click on it, the newly opened page will contain your products, ect., all with the edit buttons available.

Yes, there are a few (possibly many) things that are still broken and maybe a few new ones that just joined the list but as far as I'm concerned this new way of working with the page mods is great. I love being logged in and not seeing those ugly buttons on my pages. I like the fact that everything is neat and tidy in the MyZazzle page and allows me to modify things while having a separate window open to see how the mods affect the look and all. I'm glad those ugly pop-up windows are gone. Its all good a prepares the system for more functions that can easily be added...all in all a step in the right direction.
Now if only Zazzle would work on providing more marketing tools to us so that we could all make more sales.

yes, our existing HTML is messed up... and it's not reading the "&" symbol. I tried editing a category that had an ampersand in it, and the whole thing got deleted.
my front pages are messed up too, with the HTML
I like the rest of the changes.

I made a blog post about my opinion of the changes. If I had read this thread first I might have added a few things.

I am html illiterate and don't have any "extra" stuff in my gallery and it seems that the people having trouble are the ones who do.
I agree with you fred- I like the way it looks and so on....
hope the rest get theirs fixed soon...

I miss the "view all products" - link!!!
Was very important, I think and even a little to small! Now it is far more confusing to browse the procucts!

my gallery looks fine. I have some html - no tables though, and I don't use the Top Picks feature.
I'm not thrilled with the limi on section titles - but that's just s minor annoyance I'll have to get used to.

I like the new look. But I am missing the "View All" link too. It was very handy. I was using it to keep track of how many products where in my store. Is there some other way to check on that figure now? I notice our gallery instructions say we can add a background file instead of color if we want now. But I tried, looked around in the store management area (where we change background, and font colors and couldn't find how to do it. My store is already in custom mode so it should show if there. Has anyone else figured it out yet. And I'd like to ask for the ability to move my sections (and all the products within them) into other sections of my gallery as sub-folders when I want. It would be such a handy feature to be able to slid them where needed to keep organized  Spice

the view all products link is next to products (above the search box) in the side navigation. looks like that's the only place it appears now. if you turn off that option, there's no link.

Whoa. This is actually pretty cool! I LOVE that I am able to make my banner image smaller! I hated that it was taking up so much space at the top before, pushing all products down. This is tons better.
And not sure if this was in this update or a past one, but under My Zazzle/Products/Public, you can now select multiple products and delete all at once! Or add all selected ones to Top Picks or Featured. No more one by one! Yay!

I'm trying to rearrange a little and it would be SO much quicker to move the entire contents of a folder to a newsub folder with a 'select all' choice....maybe this is one of the things still in the works.
I noticed the 'add background image' too but can't figure out how to use it, this would be a great addition to the look of the gallery page.

The HTML I had in titles had to be removed - I sure hope they fix that soon.
This morning, I was so happy to be able to delete old "undeletable" product lines - and I just came back to find them there again. On top of that - I had to remove the HTML... again.
Grrrr.
Now, I'm back to not being able to delete those empty product categories. It SUCKS!
Oh, well... I guess they have the same problems that have yet to be resolved.

from what i've so far, your edits are not instantaneous. it can take up to 15-20 minutes for your changes to take hold. i'd be a little more patient before going through the extra work.
