Different time zone and they probably do re-deploys in the wee small hours. Or it's a nation by nation thing and they have decided to make you continue to suffer.

I'm in the UK too and also get the new crappy webside. Perhaps the old one is still up and you got to it using an old bookmark or link? If so, please post it. I'd love to use their old, slightly less crappy site!

I did nothing more than type "uk." into my browser's address bar and let it fill in the rest of the URL. Hold on ...
That causes a remembered "uk.rs-online.com" to come up (no bookmarks for RS). Hit return I get to "uk.rs-online.com/web" and I get ... the new site. Ah, but hold on, I was actually getting an order ready earlier. Ah, if I log in I get the old site.
So, it seems I only get the old site if I'm logged in. Curiouser and curiouser.

I "used", ok visited their webshite this morning and it was still unusable. Fortunately I only needed to see if the do any 24V 3A mains adapters so that was a fast simple one.
Zero999:
Try their export site. It's not so bad. More like their old site and can display 60 hits per page, rather than 25.

I tried navigating through RS and get two different versions of the website.
If i go through the region select page (with the map) to the UK website i get (what i assume is) the new website and only get 20 results per page with no option to change the number of results.
But if i go to the Lithuanian website i get a different website that lets me select between 20, 40 and 60 parts per page.
The pictures also look lower resolution in the LT version.
Also in the LT version i get this "digital transistors" section with only 4 parts (pic included), which is not present in the UK or the export versions.
ahem..."You wouldn't download a transistor" ;D....yeah i'll show myself out. :-X
I've only been to RS a couple times, a long time ago, so i don't really remember what it was like.
Ps: the descriptions above each section are so unbearably cringe.
Simon:
RS has been taken over by assholes that think they are selling t-shirts to teenagers.
Oh look, you are looking at this semiconductor, well, other people that bought this semiconductor, also bought these fasteners, why don't you buy both too....... :palm:
The website is so cringy but this latest iteration has just killed off RS a supplier for me as I have better things to do. As great as the digi key site is it took me 3 days to find a chip I could use due the supply situation, I did not even bother with RS.
