The menus don't work on my setup Jul 27, 2017

My system is set to one click of the mouse, not the double click, as my wrist hurts after just a few double clicks.

When I click once on the old menu, Jobs & Directories, for instance, I can then drag the mouse over the drop-down and click on Blue Board, which goes to the Blue Board.

I can't get anywhere with the new menu

I can't get anywhere with the new menu except to the Overview,
http://www.proz.com/about/overview/jobs-directories/
which is not really helpful - I have seen it dozens of times before. There are no links from there to the Blue Board, so I have to go back to the old version if I actually want to use any of the directories...

I think I have had the same problem with other menus - they just disappear.
What am I doing wrong, or HELP! What do I do after 1 August?

Another dinosaur...

I sympathise with the double-clicking issue.

I got around it years ago (when I first joined Proz) by saving the parts that interest me as bookmarks in my browser. So (for example) if I want to visit the Blue Board I don't start from the Proz home page; I go to the link in my browser, which takes me directly to the Blue Board.

Try it!

Live WHAT? Jul 27, 2017

There is a new, and very annoying bright orange pulsating "LIVE" button in the top menubar. When I click on it (succumbing to temptation) all I get is an advertisement for Trados. May I ask that you tone down the impending excitement implicit in that pulsating "LIVE" button? There's nothing there, nor is there ever likely to be anything, that might be relevant to me.

Proz is now more like a product than a translator's site and like all products, there seems to be a constant need to do something to justify increased prices and to ensure increased sales to an ever wider variety of customers. So now there is a new menu, new features (optional and imposed) and all sort of bells and whistles. Advertisers and/or business members have a big say and the new TV thing looks like a Proz infomercial.
