Groups look different

The groups section looks totally different to me today. Did I do something to change how it appears to me?

Looks like they're rolling out the next part of the site redesign.

Nope. It's definitely changed since I looked at it earlier. Probably part of the transition to the new design.

>4 dianeham: There will most likely be an announcement in this group later today with details about the changes.

Changes before the announcements annoy me. Why can't the LT team at least create a "We're about to do _____!" fifteen minutes before the big changes so it doesn't all look like a disorienting glitch?

Yeah. We're still fighting dragons--a major section is missing and we're had some performance issues. We'll make an announcement soon.

Hmmm...

The new "Active This Week" section shows just a fraction of the groups that used to be shown in the Most Active section in the old view. One that I was looking for is now longer shown there. The increased text+white space afforded each ATW group doesn't add anything, just takes up room.

Also, all four of the "Recommended For You" groups I am shown are ones I already belong to..

>10 Crypto-Willobie: Do you see a "Show More" button centered below the Active This week section? Click it and many more groups will appear. This is true of all the sections, it seems.

Edited to add: I am on a desktop, so I don't know how it displays on mobile.

I looked for some kind of Show More button but don't see any.
Don't see any Show More in other sections either.

I'm on a laptop, Windows, Firefox.

ETA
WAIT -- now I see a Show More button for Your Groups but still not for any of the other sections.

>12 Crypto-Willobie: There should be one under each section. I'll investigate.

Windows 10 and whatever the latest update of Firefox is, don't recall the numbers.

ETA
OK, now I see a small unlabelled double-column IconThing to the upper right of each section. When I click on that it shows an expanded list, minus the extra white space, essentially as it used to look.

Looking under "More . . ." at "Newest" and "Languages", I don't have the option for a list view, as I do with "Most Members", "Explore", and "Your Groups".

I much prefer the list view as it eliminates all that white space.

I can't get to the next page on my group page on the Dutch LT.
Instead of the button for next, I see "Volgende" class="btn btn-small btn-default" href="javascript:showGroupTopicTable('group', 0, 100)">" at https://www.librarything.nl/ngroups/23215/75-Books-Challenge-for-2021

It works well on https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/23215/75-Books-Challenge-for-2021

Another thing that seems to be broken is clicking on the number for a Talk thread. Previously, doing this would take you to the first unread post. And if you mouse over the number, the link shows that it should take you to that post, but when you actually click on the number, the post information gets stripped away, so you wind up at the beginning of the thread.
