They screwed up Google images...

I went there nearly daily for reference and image searches...and they "fixed it". GD site engineers, they f**ked up the whole deal.
Go check it out...and if you can find out how to access more than a single page of images???
Really pisses me off. But try to contact them to make a statement or complaint, can't even find where to send an email...

Did you try scrolling down? Sure, it's a single page, but there are like 25 pages-worth of images on that single page. Personally, I think it works pretty slick now -- I always used to get tired of mousing to and clicking on the 'Next' button so many times.

i love the new format! I wish I would've had this format when working at the video game studio, it would've made texture searching SOO much easier. Although now mine has gone back to its original format. Test run, I guess?

Mine is till the same...

No, I cannot scroll down, I only get one page. I do not like having to roll over each and every image to see it's info. I can scan a lot faster with my eyes.
Sorry but I think this design sucks...

Did you try going to the bottom of the page and clicking Switch to basic version?

JD...Hmmm, there are no options at all. Maybe it's a Firefox problem?

rusteberg...it was oatmeal...yeah, and it was Google.

Well, sorry, but I don't know what else to tell you -- I am on Firefox 3.6.6 here, and the image results page is about five miles long, with the returned images showing up progressively as they are downloaded by the browser...then at the very end of the page, there's a big 'Show more results' button, and then that 'Switch to basic version' option just below that.

Probably it's just they are just introducing this...the experience you are describing is not something that I'd assume was being done intentionally.

I like this new layout, easier and less clicks when you are looking for an image and there is a mini expand if you scroll over a image.

Cheers
JC

Yeah Ron ... when I first saw it, I thought the same thing about not being able to see the sizes. But by now, I'm sure you've seen the 'show sizes' button .. pretty obvious and this probably doesn't need mentioning. Still I mention it .. lol..

Apparently they feel that Bing was doing a better image search, ... so that's what this is all about.

No, this is way better.
Before, you had to click 'next' like every five seconds and that was really annoying when you had to look for a long time.

JD...Well still the same as before for me...maybe I need to upgrade Firefox or something...

Thanks Ivox...
