I totally agree with Igor’s comment. Together with the removal of the Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) is making NCBI far less useful to its users.

What is the reason for this discontinuance? The popset is one of the most useful features–I use it all the time!

Congrats on the roll-out today. I noticed that this URL pattern no longer works. Is this a bug or expected change? Is there a new URL pattern for article figure images?

And then this URL returns a 404 🙁
