Upcoming gets a new look!

Check out our new Upcoming Beta @ http://tinyurl.com/betauyc

Hello there!

Today, we are proud to announce a new look for Upcoming. It is available at http://beta.upcoming.yahoo.com. As you can see, we have upgraded our site to a simpler, cleaner design. Upcoming is now more user-focused. The new design makes it easier for you to discover and share events with others.
We are still beta testing the new look and would love to get your feedback. We want to better understand your needs and continuously improve the quality of the product.

Upcoming Team

I'm not seeing any changes yet. Is there anything needed to see the beta site ?

I found the link to http://beta.upcoming.yahoo.com/ on the front page, although having it in the announcement itself would have been good.

I know it's a beta, but it looks unfinished design wise. Very unfinished.

I can't find a link to my scrapbook in the new design. Is that disappearing?

Sorry, it's actually on the top right corner of the current homepage. But I also just attached a tiny url on the post as well.

@elsachang - good to see that someone from upcoming is still around and working. The news from Y! is not good these days!

The TechCrunch post (which turned out to be out of date) is what prompted me to visit the beta, even though I haven't used Upcoming in months. (Not Upcoming's fault; I just don't go out much.) I compared the beta with the current version, and my impression was that the beta was TOO minimal. Perhaps this is a personal preference, but I prefer the large amount of information in the current implementation.

Personally, the borderless content is too huge on wide screen. At least gave line to limit the centre box, or different shade of grey to it.

By the way, is there still any way to browse for events in the new layout ?
Previously there’s Today, This Weekend, This Month, Everything.
Not there’s only popular and filtering by categories.

Guys. Upcoming is gone. The team doesn't exist. The blank beta is a fragment of the Yahoo failure that is crumbling all around you.

@MrRoyce Thanks for being supportive. We are still working on improving Upcoming even tho we have only very few hands on the team these days. This beta is the first initiative we are taking and there is certainly plenty of room to improve. I appreciate your constructive feedback and we will try our best to keep up.

Re: Techcrunch article. We got a lot of concerned users' emails because of this and we actually appreciate the attention. It means that we still have passionate users who care about us.

Viewing my profile page, when I click the "See all of this user's future events" link, some of the dates on the events already being displayed change... E.g. an event which was repeated on 2 consecutive days, both of them display the date of the first occurrence. And "Jan 05" changes to just "Jan 5".
Also, although this may be due to the browser I'm using, it's nigh on impossible to tell which (if any) of the I'm Going/I'm Interested buttons is currently selected.
Lastly, is it possible to set things so that new events I enter default to I'm Interested rather than I'm Going? (not that I found a way to do that in the old version either)

I personally would prefer the point "Me" placed on the pages bottom on top next to the blog or event box!
Somehow I liked the red colour-sceme.

Where's the ticket price info gone? I'm not seeing it anywhere on http://beta.upcoming.yahoo.com/event/7530246/gb/Laindon/Basildon-Natural-History-Society-Badgers-Talk/Laindon-Community-Centre
like I can on the existing equivalent page.
Also, as I scroll the page up & down with the cursor keys, I notice it's also scrolling the map, even though the cursor's not over it.
Tried it in a couple of different browsers, and it's the same in both.

@Andy I think the event on the current page doesn't show ticket link either. Both beta and the current pages show the site URL tho.

It's not scrolling the map now, try again?

A calendar in the right sidebar that you can click on to go directly to a specific date would be helpful.

Also the ability to add multiple times and dates for an event would be great. For example if there is a matinee show and an evening show on the same day you could put that in the same event rather than creating two separate events for each show time.

All was well uploading pics on the original upcoming. Now I cannot add events with pictures from my computer but need to use flickr only. But, been trying to get it to work and cannot get the tags to attach (machine tags) Is this an upgrade? I guess this makes the new events usless if no one can see them. Miss the old upcoming...
