Why is the "forums" tab so hard to see anything with now? The user pictures in OPs of Hot topic threads, takes up sooooo much space (and its distraceing to the eye). Visablity is lowered so much, makeing it much harder to read & reach thread topics / thread names.

This is to the point where it feels like it would hurt my enjoyment of useing this forum.

Please revert that part back to how it was.The main point of this site is the forum works, and well, and is easy to use & view (hot topics ect).

That isnt the case anymore, its a HUGE downgrade.The other parts of the site that changed, seem to be for touch screens? Going way from favor of PC users with mouse/keyboards.... but thats something I can live with. The hot topics / forum changes are too much.

(edit. also now it doesnt format text right, when you make a comment, spaceing is missing and stuff, I had to edit and manually fix this)

Why don't you just go to the Forum's Hot Topics directly?

Because the main / front page used to be decent enough to work, and I got used to how it looked.
I guess in future, I ll have to skip useing the front page if possible, and go to the forums hot topics directly instead.

I can make due like that, and useing the Forum Buddy (please dont change the forum buddy, or the actual forums to also include logos and pictures)

Yeah, I stopped doing that years ago.

The auto cut down feature for the quote trees need to be re-implemented fast.Some threads are almost impossible to follow on mobile as you have to scroll for ages.

EDIT: There also seems to be an error when creating a new paragraph. I wrote the original message with a Shift+Enter break but it's not displaying it like that.

EDIT2: okay that seemed to have worked. Although I did write the first message via quick reply.

Looks nicer but now it loads so slowly.

Yup, we're aware of the slowness, trying to find a cause and hopefully have it fixed soon.

It's like it tries to always load in the frontpage with whatever thread opened.

I have some color-related suggestions, just in case any of them can be useful.

Since there's confusion with the look of the front page, maybe the central column could have a different background color, like a slightly brighter grey or so, that would help differentiate it from the sidebars.

Also, on the Latest Shipments Updates, the number of units sold could be displayed in green (or in any other color), so that the three informations shown there are more clearly distinguished. I would even suggest doing the same thing in the Community Contributions section too.

And another one: on the Hardware Chart section, after a user clicks on a certain region, all the sales on that column could be shown in a different color (green, maybe?), so that there's more visual feedback on what's going on there.

Also, related to that section, there's something I don't know if it's an issue or not: clicking on a region makes all consoles be sorted based on the number of units they sold on that region, and clicking again reverses the order, but sometimes the order is reversed on the first click, which can be a bit confusing.

And I think that's all for now. =P Loading times aren't perfect or stable yet, but they're way better than last night.



I'm mostly a lurker now.

I appreciate all the effort, I really do, but the site looks too overcrowded for me. Maybe add some options to have a more minimalist look with more text and less images? Or maybe a hybrid of old layout and new layout?



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I'll be honest. I hate the new front page, it just seems like a cluttered mess.

I don't like how slow the site is and I'm not sure what happened to the forum font either.

Edit: Also... the formatting is off for quick replies.



Greeting for the hard work! The site now it seems so fresh, but there are few things that i would suggest. Maybe a color change between different sections on the front page in order to help visualization. When I click on the hardware chart it simply doesn't display numbers for "this year" and "last generation" sections. OP's icons are too big, it would be better if they were a bit smaller. If it is possible i would like to suggest one thing in the GameDB section: a button that could turn off "Series" and "ALL" sales, thus I can see sales for individual games

The Notifications page doesn't seem to work for me, it's loading and loading and loading, but the page never seems to load completely. Can't use the bottons above to change to home, messages, etc... either.

Using Opera, btw.

Edit: here's how far it gets:

Edit: Seems to be working now, maybe the Browser was just grumpy over the change...
