Quote from: InkwellClock;1894346Furthermore I'm really annoyed by the fact that I still haven't been able to figure out where you go if you want to change your aura and shit.

Update your AURA to reflect your interest / specialty.

I like the looks of the new design, generally. It's not as compact as the old one, which is sort of a bummer because my screen resolution and taste in web design haven't really changed since the last redesign. I'm not too sure about the new site organization, but there are some things I like about it. Above all, I hope it works out in NG's favor!
<Marlin Clock> This thread seems proof positive that divisiveness at any level is usually bad for the Clock Crew.
<PhantomCatClock> are we talking about the same clock crew

its good to see they converted to html 5 and kept up with modern standards, so you can view the movies on mobile devices/tablets etc.

oh wait no they didn't

they just changed the design a bit

Quote from: InkwellClock;1894346One thing that really annoys me is that it doesn't tell you when you've deposited your experience for the day. It just tells you to keep voting. So i was like wait? Do I have to vote on more than 5 movies per day now to deposit experience? I had to go and look it up to make sure that it's still kept at 5.

Stepping back and thinking of NG in relation to other sites on the web, the vote on 5 movies and then "thanks for the overtime!" thing was a really stupid idea, which should've been stopped long ago.  Implying a limit on how much a user ought to be browsing and contributing input to your site can only drive users away.

I can see why experience should only be gained for a limited number of votes to prevent abuse, considering that other websites do not have an equivalent to Grounds Gold. Yet it seems to be less important now. Rankings and voting power aren't even on the profile home pages anymore.

I wonder what place I'm in now? Last I knew I was 40-something...

51?  I'm just one away from being on the Top 50 page? I... don't care much. :shrug: It was good while it lasted I guess.

Quote from: RibsClock;1894325Evidence of failure:

  • It's following the google trend of taking simple, intuitive text links and making them into little symbol buttons that you have to hover over until your browser tells you what they do
  • They got rid of the fab aura.
Mystery meat navigation is a no-no. Even if Google thinks it's a good idea, it's not.

oh my god

the new design is terrible on all levels

this is middle school quality

the previous design was perfect how can tom think this was a good idea

I can't even access it :U

Edit: Wow, this is pretty shitty.

InkwellClock

Maybe I just have to get used to it or something, but right now I'm not digging it overly much. I'm probably gonna stop depositing experience now... seems kind of redundant. I guess it always was really....

When I realized this it upset me more than it should have :(

Quote from: polyhedronclockYou're a fucking clock, what else do you have?
To be fair, you don't have anything. Clocks are just machines that tick.

AstronautClock

I'm getting a ton of views but they arent showing up on the counter. and some guy reviewed my movie saying how he hates the new layout. maybe more will follow

AmberArachnidClock

too much information at once. Especially with a low resolution monitor. Oh well.

if you want to mimic FAB you just put yourself down as an artist.

It's not a joke, it's a factual claim. :|

also fuck this "avatar must be precisely 270 px wide and 200 px tall" bullshit.

buttplug

Yeah I don't understand the trend on the web of obscuring information to make a website look "simple"

Quote from: RibsClock;1894411You don't get the joke.

Your mom doesn't get the joke.

Topcatyo

just noticed the "classic portal" button, so that's a plus at least, although mousing over a movie title doesn't give you information on the movie anymore.

Quote from: Thor;1894345It seems like everything is worse and nothing is better. It's not just that it's change and makes me butthurt, this is seriously just a really bad redesign

You can't even see the titles of fucking movies at a glance any more

Yeah it's pretty gay.



Seriously though why do I have to upload all my headers again :(



AND IS THERE A WAY TO REMOVE MEDALS?
