Exactly!!

the green in the <a>'s is TOO light. it's very annoying to read a full page of links, like the forums indexes.

I just noticed if you hit the "previous"/"<" arrow when you're on the 1-10 posts you will flip to the last page of the thread.

That's kind of useful for now.

Somethings are quite odd for me right now. I miss the color coded thread titles. Everything right now is green.... or am I just doing something wrong?

Too bright background for posts. Make it a little bit darker.

That's my take for now.

For those of you who were also having issues with Avatars they just got fixed :P

oh the irony

I'm a web designer with main focus on accessibility, so I know it's not allways easy to integrate everything in a comprehensive way. Many choose this way: sectionize it!

I don't like it. Specially here where previously it was done in a very effective way. Also, with such an huge database, it takes some time load pages, so to visit everything I wanted, I take about twice as long as before.

I've been navigating all morning, trying to get used to, trying to forget how it was and look at it as it if was new. I can't. And as it was a website I loved to visit, there's a certain sadness. But if ioi and the rest of the administration thinks this a better way, I honestly wish all the luck in the world :) I'll continue to come check sales once a week, but all my other activity will be gone.

IMHO, if you want it all, you end up getting nothing. I was "afraid" when I saw this project getting more and more general, but as it was being done in a very nice way, I was fine. From a moment to another, everything changes and my fears become reality.

Best of luck on the project, ioi. Honestly :) But I think you're making a mistake here...

EDIT: Oh... by the way: in terms of how it looks, the design is awesome in all sections... except the main one: VGChartz. That's not a proper design.

Has the prediction league gone, or can I just not find it?

Are we the VGChartz community or the gamr community?

Visually a bit sterile looking on the Connect and Charts sub-sites. Fine for the Chartz site, I don't need glitz for numbers, though the colour coding in the charts helped to easily identify the system / company to which information relates. But the other sub-sites have a rather stark look to them.

I preferred the front page presentation of recent forum activity where it displayed the latest forum posts across all sub-forums rather than the latest post from each sub-forum. I personally like to see where all the most active discussion is happening, and the new presentation doesn't facilitate that to the extent that 2.0 (and 1.0) did.

I like that you went from "Others" to "EMEAA" though again on my behalf I'd like to add one more letter to that acronym: EMEAPA. It's a little thing but we here in the South Pacific view ourselves as geographically, distinct from Asia, and in normal international / diplomatic speak we talk about Asia/Pacific if we want to speak about Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia.

In a similiar vein I'd request that within the EMEAA HW chart regional breeak downs the Aussie

i am pretty sure that i can get used to the new design, and that a lot of the small flaws like the forum navigation, will get fixed quickly, but what milkyjoe said is absolutely true.

the boxes in the hub need waaaay more information, like the last 30 threads in the forum (if possible with some form of color coding like it was before), the last weeks sales like it was on the vgz2.0 (software and hardware worldwide and for the regions) and 10 hottest or/and latest news.

other than that i'm actually pretty happy. i have seen several site relaunches that had a worse initial impression and turned out pretty good! :D
