Yep, brought it up today to search Argentine P-3s and was shocked by the new format.

The search is now very crappy. I tried searching Argentine P-3Bs and you had to specify 'Argentine - Navy' or you got nothing.

No more top views of the past week, month, etc

Just the top 100 views or posts of the day. People are also winging about the forum functionality. I hardly used it so I can't say much about it.

But the most important part of searching or browsing images is useless. Looks like I will have to start using JetPhotos.net or other similar sites more now.

OK, I have tried and tried to persevere with the new Airliners. net but, quiet frankly, it's just crap :( .
I am so frustrated, disillusioned, and disappointed with the "new" Airliners.net that I my even take it off our "links" page and just leave Jetphotos.net
What the hell were they thinking making these changes to this much-loved aviation photography site :? .
It's bye bye from me Airliners.net .

I didn't like it when they started including military aircraft in their database - 'coz there were already plenty of other sites for that!!

I can understand that a layout update was in order now that most people have wide-screen monitors, but Jesus!! Don't fix what ain't broke!

Moved to be more user friendly for Mobile phones and tablets. For the Anoraks out in the field "spotting".
