Comparative to old design

• aesthetically = excellent
• user friendliness = 0

Before, the site was a bit clutter, now its a bit all over the place, too decentralised..IMO

Maybe we can strike a balance somewhere?

The older one have too many things on the main page, while this one have everything split up and a chore to go around.

How about trying to keep the nice clean look like the new version but put back the ease of navigation of the old version?

I would say I am disappointed in the color scheme. The font colors used are not easily readable and annoys my eyes. You have the front page fonts and background on different levels of gray, it just doesn't look easily readable to me.

I would have to agree that the web site lost some of its appear. I used to like the coloring of games in top games to distinguish between consoles, I don't believe that exist anymore. I would also feel that the forum is plain and the coloring theme is not appealing as in the previous design. Finally, the navigation seems to be more complicated than the old version.

I understand that a lot of effort has been put in the new web site and thanks to all who participated. Criticism to make things better is not complaining by the way.

There is always someone who has to be overly dramatic. Give it time ....

I am not going to list why I am and am not liking this, but I really wish they would have waited until after E3. It is a mess to find my way aorund currently and that is very bad for when E3 comes. I might have to go elsewhere for my E3 news. =/

Arg this'll take some getting used to. It's a lot prettier, I really dig the look, but also admittedly I miss the convenience VGChartz 2.0 provided.

Call me a throw back, but I actually prefer the original VGChartz the most, though now I barely even remember what it looked like.

I actually don't mind the look and to be honest I've learned after the last upgrade to give it time to grow on me. 

One thing I have to give them props for is performance.  The site seems to run alot more smoothly than previously and is alot less resource intensive.

How is it a mess exactly? I just don't understand what you mean precisely. I mean, aren't you currently in the forums? And didn't you just post like 10 times since the new site has been up?

I can help, lol. o_O

Well like most new things I'm scared and done understand it so automatically I hate it!

Is there a way to refresh the 'Recent Threads' without completely refreshing the page? I liked that a lot about the previous vgchartz.
