I've just been checking rankings for a couple of sites and Lycos has a very new look. Anyone know when this happened?

Until recently, I was able to log onto www.lycos.com, but trying a search simply redirected me to www.lycos.co.uk without performing a search (I had to use a proxy to search on Lycos.com). This now appears to be fixed and I can search from both www.lycos.com and www.lycos.co.uk

Until this "upgrade", SERPS on www.lycos.co.uk were different to those on www.lycos.com - they now appear to be identical apart from www.lycos.com uses sponsored listings from Overture.com while Lycos.co.uk uses sponsored listings from uk.overture.com

Anyone notice any other major changes?

The directory listings do not - or rarely - appear on serps...

The new look started from Germany over France, Italy to UK mid July, previous discussions here:
