I don't like change!!

I don't want it!!

I guess it's not quite as bad as the NICT going off line but...

**Astrochik**

it has not been updated, so you must use the new site effective immediately

guess maybe you guys all use the http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/ site instead?

I liked the nice list they had - scrolling for a whole week's worth of earthquakes to compare...

I know what you mean. I, too do not like their changes from:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqscanv/
to
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

I can't see the magnitude down to 1.0 like I could on the original page, and its the little bitty stuff and their pattern that tells a tale.

I wrote to them and complained but they seemed surprised and said they made the changes because so many asked for it.

Yup, saw that. That map sucks & it doesn't scroll right on the list below it on my iPad. S977

I saw that change recently too and thought blechhh!

But then I'm a curmudgeon who dislikes most technological change. chuckle

If enough people express their concerns maybe they will leave it as is?

I just complained!!

I'm not a fan of this at all... there was nothing wrong with the previous format and it was very user friendly.

I also don't like how they are making this change during the heightened activity here in So Cal.

Speak for yourself. All I do is keep an eye on a potentially volatile patterns in my part of the state. It's not a particularly active part of CA but it does lay close to many sleeping volcanoes, there is evidence of old volcanic activity close to my home and there has been a decided uptick of activity I haven't seen since I started watching USGS in '96.
