Overall, the new site is working well for me. Just a few minor issues I’ve seen

1. When I go to a volunteer produced book, there are no longer links on the 
names of the submitter and proofreader; so You can’t click on their names to 
see what else they’ve done.
2. The My Scans in Process page now takes three clicks to get to where it used 
to take only two. It used to be on my Volunteer Home page. So I just clicked on 
Volunteer Home, then My Scans in Process. Now you have to go to Volunteer Home, 
then Books in Process, then My Scans in Process.
3. When I do an Advanced search, I used to be able to skip directly to the 
results. At the top of the page was that link that said skip to 1 through 
such-and-such of so many results, (which has always worked for me in Internet 
Explorer but not in Firefox by the way, at least not the last time I tried it). 
You used to be able to just hit that and you’re instantly placed on the first 
search result. Now I have to hit the h key three times to go to the third 
header to get to the first result. I tried searching for the word “result”, but 
that doesn’t put me at the first result, but well above it. I still have to hit 
the h key three times to get to the first result, which is what I had to do in 
the first place.

As I said, minor issues that I’m sure I’ll get used to, but for me, they’re 
ways in which I think the old site was superior. And of course, the new site is 
not set in stone. Minor modifications are sure to occur as more feedback comes 
in.
