-the search still doesn’t work:
it only searches mica.edu and not the portal itself
-the mica logo doesn’t take you to the portal home it takes you mica.edu
-it’s very easy to break the site. Just like before if you go deep enough into the site the top menu disappears.
-it has 3 different forms of navigation! that’s just bad, and their different depending on where you are in the site
-it’s even more difficult to find anything, and since the search doesn’t work, good luck.
Over all it’s worse then it was before, is barely, if usable at all and clearly seams like no one with any knowledge of good interface design was involved at all. I know this is not the case but it’s just sad.
