Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but my Instant queue on the Netflix website looks the same as it always has. I can drag-and-drop items to re-sort them and that order is reflected in the Netflix app on my TiVos.

Sure. I have attached 3 pics.
1 - First pic is what the main Netflix page looks like now...(Notice that the link to my DVD queue is gone -- I now have to click on "Browse DVDs" and then click on a "DVD Queue" link)
2 - Second pic is of my Instant Queue. My recently watched stuff is at the top, which I don't have a problem with, but below that is rows and rows of my Instant Queue in random order. I can hover over the selection which after a long pause reveals the show title, rating, quick info, and "watch" link. I can't change the order of these selections, and there doesn't seem to be any method to the sort order. They aren't sorted by date they were added to my queue, and obviously aren't sorted alphabetically or by genre. On my Tivo, these selections are shown in a list form like in the past, and all the titles that were there pre-Netflix update are in the order I had them sorted, but all the titles post-Netflix update are at the bottom in order of addition to the queue.
3 - The third pic is of my DVD Queue. Nothing is changed here except for the deletion of the Instant Queue link.
Again, I am not one of these people that are complaining about change just because I think any change is bad. Really, in my opinion, the rest of the redesign isn't that bad. I don't spend a lot of time on the Netflix website, so most of this doesn't affect me. What DOES affect me is the inability to sort the Instant Queue.

Wow, OK.
I tried in Firefox, IE, and Chrome on two different PCs and had the same result: Netflix looks the same as it ever has, with the Instant Queue and sorting ability.
I guess maybe they are rolling "new" interface slowly and you're one of the "lucky" ones.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I guess they are rolling the update out in sections. Hopefully that means there is a possibility they could roll it back to the old way if they hear enough complaints. By the looks of the Netflix blog, there are plenty of complaints.Wow, OK.

Another aggrivation is that the Netflix main screen causes my IE to crash every time. I either have to view it in Chrome or bypass the main page in IE.
Troy, when things got all jumbled up, were you on the new updated design or the old format? If on the updated design, would you mind checking again and see if you still have this ability? What does your Instant Queue look like? Does it look like mine?TroyM said:
