I'm also not a fan :/

Not sure how many ads were on the originally, but the very frontpage has 4 ads in your face:
Middle Ad thats wide
Left Video Ad
Right Picture Ad
Background Ad

Thats just annoying, maybe thats how it was in the last version, and I simply didn't notice it

Coming from someone who has a decent amount of design experience, the colors are hideous :( Red would be a good replacement for this orange (Maybe not for main txt, but for PS3 txt)

I'm just not a fan of the color scheme, layout is fine (besides the ads), and the other improvements are great... i just wanted to comment on what I didn't like

a huge thanks for caring about trying though!

In addition, I also cannot view box art for any games.

Try it now.  I finally was able to delete mine.  TalonMan is fast and amazing, and can kill bears with his mind.

Not bad but it is more slow to navigate for me (my PC sucks T_T ) but so far so good ^^

The advanced text editor doesn't work half as well as it did before.

That's bad because before it didn't work nearly as well as it should on any browser.

Well, it feels a little sluggish right now, but that could be my computer being stupid. And I know that I'm going to have to get used to the new look, but I like the way that, to me, it looks more high-tech, to go with the newer systems! Thus far I'm pleased! ^_^

Two comments, just from the most basic, 45 second impressions.

1. My Recent Threads should be on the front page like it used to be
2. Is it really necessary to have the top of the page be done in Flash? Could create scripting problems down the line, as well as problems with right-clicking (since right-clicking a flash link is very different from right-clicking a regular link)

I think it's slow because it A: just went up and B: is being tweaked..it's OK ppl=P

Some of the people doing quoting and pyramid quoting are having bad table format problems.

Well I didn't get a reply so I'll bother yas again.

Is the VG Chartz top users going to come back to the front page?

I'd say replace it with the "Recent Headlines" section, since the "Most popular stories" is basically the same thing.
