Massive dissapointment with 8.0a

I've been going through all the requests and complaints with the new 7.5 client and they were mostly made almost half a year ago! And the 8.0a client doesn't have any noticeable changes in it.. The new UI, in short, is horrible and very user unfriendly.. It lags and has no functionality whatsoever.. I don't think anyone finds this client usable anymore.. Please do something about it and quick..! I'm reverting back to 7.2.1 again for now! :angry:

Really this new UI is hIdDoUS.

DOH = I cannot believe you replaced the old sensible butons

Why did you guys kill this software??? I was a big fan on bitorrent but with this new shitty update you guys surely want to kill what worked perfectly well.
The new UI is the most dumbest UI ever!! The UI designer should seriously give a thought about where he is going with his own carrier. get the old UI back and fire the designers!!

I don't mind or really care about the new aesthetics and colors and buttons. They're fine.

What I care about is the fact that I can only see about one fourth as many of my torrents without using the scroll bar. That is exceedingly inconvenient.

I don't like the changes either. No more dates? Instead we have "a day ago, a year ago" foolishness - that is silly. I need date and clock time, real information. And change that speed chart BACK to its old, sensible color scheme. Who could have a problem with something that is readable? If we want pale, washed-out graphics then make poor visability an option we can choose. No more bad changes for the pure sake of changing something, PLEASE!

I'm not happy with the fact that you can no longer see how many clients are uploading or downloading. Bring this feature back!!

Whoops, my bad. For some reason when it updated it took away what I see and added other columns. Figured out how to correct this

I registered here for only one reason>>>that is to let you know how much i LOVE...the old UI. I am getting older, and trying to read the light gray wording puts me within 8 inches of my screen. VERY BAD, a whole line just for download quantity? get real. now I have to read other forums to get back to 7.2.1 (?)
also, the double line takes up way too much page. I like to keep my window small, just watching the info I need. BAD, VERY VERY BAD, WHAT A WASTE.

Toggle the torrent view then enable the columns you want by right-clicking the columns you have.

The feature HAS NOT been removed from the 7.x series.

The UI colors don't matter because it runs in the background anyway. What matters is that there are certain RSS Feeds that don't have a working date function. Normally bittorent wouldn't even bother displaying them if u pressed on the Feeds ( displaying them all ) so u had to click on them sepeerately wich worked completely fine. But now those feeds are seen as "added less then a minute ago" and block out all the latest additions from other feeds if u sort it by date wichis very annoying if u follow 16 feeds so i have no choice but to disable them.

Very sad the new interface. Unintuitive. Unusable. Miss the old one where all the info was available and easy to read. Was not the most esthetic one, but was effecient. Now, we get an odd looking interface, not really pleasing to the eye and lost the ability to quickly see the different download/upload parameters.

It wasn't removed. Re-enable the date columns you want (right-click on the column headers)
