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.

awful

No, I liked the old layout better.

An option to swich between both would be nice.

The new looks turn me on.

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.

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.

I'm with whoever said they have to get used to the username being moved from the margin to the top of the post.  I keep lookinig over the avatar for the person's name.  But I'll get used to that pretty quickly.  Has anyone noticed how you can now have a portion of a star filled in instead of it being all or nothing?  So now you can tell if you are close to being promoted to the next level or in danger of being demoted.

the design did made MMORPG site to load faster than usual. the design was made to be more uncomplicated, and containing lesser features that might clog the loading time of this site. the design overall is fine by me.
