I too am finding the new website to be less user-friendly. In my opinion, it is a poor design and layout of the information. I also had the experience of having to go through all the pages again after making an edit. Very annoying and time consuming. They need to add back the summary link that previously was available. Companies need to apply the rule of, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" and leave their websites alone.
Also, when I logged in to input my report, I tried to look at available assignments first. It would not let me. A message indicated I had a shop that was a day old that had not been reported yet so I was not allowed to look at new assignments. That shop was still in the 8 hour window for reporting. And even though it was still 4/15/17 my time, it was 4/16/17 MF time, so to their system the shop was a day old. I often input shops after 9 pm because I perform most assignments in the afternoon or evening. So this is likely to be a regular issue with the three hour time difference between me and MF. I guess I will have to login to find new shops before 9 pm or I will have to wait until all my assignments have been submitted.
I also thought you had to go through all the pages again if you went back to "edit" a section when viewing it in the summary, but I found out there is a way to go back directly to the summary page after you make your edit:
After clicking on the "edit" button and making the relevant changes, I usually proceed one page further (by clicking on the "next" button) to make sure that my changes are saved. Then, I go to near the top of the page where you'll see 5 "Tabs" labeled: 1. Report 2. Images 3. Review CPI 4. Submit. I click on the Tab labeled "3. Review". This takes you back to the summary review, where you can view your whole report in one page by scrolling down, and it bypasses having to click "next" through all the pages again.
I too have noticed that MF treats everyone as being on Eastern Time...since I am on the West coast, I am 3 hours behind them and at 9pm PT (my time zone), it is midnight where they are. So yes, they think my reports are "late" and like JoR, I cannot view any available shops until I submit the "late report(s)". This is indeed a bit annoying since I also complete my shops in the afternoon or evening and usually don't report them until nighttime.
I agree with everyone's frustration about the new MF website. It seems to be missing a lot of pertinent information (like type of burger shop: walk-in, phone, or web/app) and it also seems to be much slower in loading every page. I'm lucky to not have encountered some of the uploading/submitting report problems that many have complained about on this board, but I'm definitely not pleased with the "upgrade". Hopefully MF will fix these issues, but I'm not sure how likely that will actually be.
