this is my view in the "Day" tab. the blue time bar has disappeared. the one that advances with the current time. 

In the week view, the blue line is there but it extends across previous days but not to the current one or future dates. 

anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,

    For me the current time indicator seems to be moving and staying on the correct time, but it is stuck on Monday. Please fix this quickly! 

    Also the search bar should be brought back to its original position. Or at least, let the user decide.

    Cheers,

    Antti

    Hello Diane and Michael and Microsoft,

    The current time indicator in the latest update is extremely annoying. It's totally off putting. It's just sitting static at Monday 10am and I'm at 10.29 on Tuesday. This is a horrendous, nightmarish bug - I keep trying hovering over it and clicking and dragging desperately trying to put it at the right time and day and it won't budge. It does the complete opposite of helping you focus on work.

    Yet another assumption by Microsoft that "change is always better"....

    • NO I do not like the new time-bar dot thing.
    • No longer can I just glance at my week view to see where I'm at in a day.
      • Instead, no matter which day I'm looking at, I have to swing my eyes to the left and search for a little black dot, and then imagine it extending across the screen.
    • AND I'm already unhappy with the search bar at the top.

    You know, software companies used to actually care about time efficiency, and did these really neat things called "usability studies" before making changes.  They tried to design software that could get the job done with a minimum of movement and clicks.  

    It sure feels like these changes are "just because" with no real time and usability testing.  

    If they had done this before this recent sent of changes they would discover that they ADD TIME and do NOT SAVE TIME.

    This is especially true for so many of us who are now using large monitors where we actually have to move our head back and forth to find things.

    Awful design - not sure how is that helpful. I didnt realize the change as I have both mac and pc. Mac has a nice unambiguous indicator. In PC, I keep messing up on meetings.
