If you can read this post, it means admins didn''t rickroll me again.

I like it.  Looks a bit more professional than the old layout.  One thing, don't know if I'm just not seeing it, I can't tell what page I am on of a multiple-page thread.  It isn't highlighted on my screen anyway.  Just something that makes it a little easier when delving through a massive thread.

The game forum finder is nice. However the new overall layout and appearance looks like it got hit by the ugly stick. Sorry  ...I know someone worked long and hard on it.

Not as good at the last design.

Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981

I don't like the tabs above but they do stand out more than the old navigation.

I hate the grey, the lighter shades anyway.

I also preferred the old game list menu, 'least the "released" and "not released" separation in the list.

In general not diggin' the whole tabbed portfolio look.

I'm not much of a fan of this new layout either. The old one was simpler, easier to navigate. My eyes seem to get lost on the new pages.

I'm thinking "don't fix something if it's not broke".  The old design was not as bright and was easier on the eyes.. at least for me.  I tend to surf in low light conditions or in the dark so when the gray popped up on the screen it was slightly blinding.

Some of the new features are nice but I always think back to the VN Boards and how simple theirs is and it works pretty damn well.  Also in the mail section I can't delete sent messages or at least so far I don't see a "delete" button.  I guess they're still working on it.

If it were possible give us an option on keeping the old page or pick the new layout.  At least that way you can please more people.  I'd go back to the old.

 

Edit:  And the new layout tends to chop off the right side of the posts as well.  Half way through the "reply" button usually and it cuts off the last few letters of words or small words all together.

No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

Can someone get me a violin? Seesh, if you don't like the new theme go find some other MMORPG forum.

I'll get used to it, and I could see myself even liking it but it definitely needs some more color schemes.  This grey is terrible.  Would love a black color scheme.

I quite like it.
What I don't like is the logo, it looks like it's made by a noob.
I could do better

I LOVE it! The old one was just getting much too outdated and boring. They retained the recognizibility and the ease of use, but modernized it and cleaned it up.

I'm totally dig'n it and the grey color.  However, the ability to choose colors for the theme would be perfect.

I like the new "layout", but like the old "look" better. The gray should be a little darker maybe. Everything seems washed out.

Weeellllll....

I like the left hand column now.  Gives easy access to my recently visited threads.  That's a good thing.  I also like that my mail link is over there now.

It's actually made things much more accessible.

I think it's going to grow on me for the above reasons.  So, I WOULD say I'm ambivalent, because change is just change to me.  I generally welcome new things, but don't get overly excited about them either.  That's probably psychological damage from being a long time gamer.  But since it does make some things easier to get to....I'm gonna just say that I like it. :)

 

 

EDIT:  I'm also going to add, that although some people are bitching about the grey....I find it's a LOT easier on my EYES than that stark contrast of dark backgrounds with white or light text, and forget when some doofus decides to post in bright blue on that dark background, or RED...I don't even bother to read THAT.  So.....while some people may not like the grey....bet you'll find others find it a lot easier on the eyes, the same as I do.

eh , seems to be a slightly better layout ,  the tabs up top are .. i dont know, is out of style something that you would apply to a webpage? The grey needs to go , or at lest give us the power to change it to something that isnt so bland and plain.

but except for those 2 things, it  isnt as bad as it could be or others i go to.

 

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

No, I liked the old layout better.

An option to swich between both would be nice.

I don't like it as much. I will probably be coming here less and less. Its much harder for me to navigate between game pages now.

Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

The tabs on top are nice but the color scheme is TERRIBLE. The old background color was much more relaxing on the eyes than the new setup. It would be nice to have an option to switch back to it. Sorry, but overall I am not impressed

I think the design itself is fine; the layout is tight and compact, tabs are convenient and easy to find, and the collapsibles are a nice addition.

However, the gray has GOT TO GO. Not enough contrast for the text colors being used. Need to change to a darker color to offset the light blues, whites, and light tans of the text.

PLEASE.
