The Pants Party Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 ^The site is slow at the moment because we have probably triple the normal amount of people browsing it to check out the new features, all clicking 10 links a minute to see all the changes. That will slow down as people are introduced to it. On top of that, we are still debugging and fixing issues on the back end. Offnote: A gaming PC does not make the internet faster.

dertswa687o Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 So I wake up and now this... Nice job! My only issue is that there is no way to edit the "100% Club" and "Achievement Case" in the profile section. And every game has disappeared from the 100% club. Otherwise great job!

Webb Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 ... I feel that the old one was easier to navigate I can't see how anyone would say that. It's a bloody simple layout... Left = 360 news Right = achievement news Far right = community/site news Underneath = previews/reviews/interviews/screens, which all used to be in a tiny little box on the right of the site The other boxes are quick links for you... game's out this week... want to see the achievements? Use the upcoming box to click the game name, then achievements. Two clicks. Previously it was either... Search > Click name > Achievements (3 clicks), or; Retail > Click letter of game name > click list (3 clicks). The other one was too convoluted. The main central column had no real direction with competitions, achievements, features, site news, etc all flowing through one column. And the 360 news, was just headlines. Now you get a byline and a fancy image Speed... granted, that's being looked at, but we never expected it to go super smoothly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Shaun Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 It looks pretty sweet. Well done, guys. The only reason it may seem hard to navigate is because it's new and you just need to get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PointPlaceWI Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yeah, it's pretty cool. The only real problem I'm having right now is the one mentioned above about the games being gone from the 100% club and not being able to find a way to put them back in.

The Pants Party Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 100% Clubs/Achievement Case will be activated for editing soon. I'm not sure why anyone's 100% info disappeared though. I have like 170 in there, all accounted for. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzmatix Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Here's an idea of how I'd like it to look like: http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff285/x0dAk0k/newhomepage.jpg As you can see I'm somewhat of a stickler about the boxes being aligned properly on the x and y axis, but all in all it really does make it look better. As for the Users box, I just thought it looks out of place where it is so it would do to put it next to the gamercard. Seeing as you block the sites advertising it will look rather odd with spaces. We can't remove the advertising from the site unless you want to shell out the cash to pay the web hosting every month. There will always be things that people like and hate. There are things I personally don't like but I've been looking at some of these things none stop for 6 months. Once you have to tweak things pixel by pixel you get a little sick of seeing some things. The other errors you reported were fixed very early on with the sites release.

Burning Karma Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I like the redesign. It looks a lot sleeker than the previous. Props to everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero x360a ps3t Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 The looks on the other one was better, IMO. But I haven't seen the features yet so we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukefan45 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Congratulations to everybody who made this a possibility! I'm not too sure about the new layout yet, but I'm sure it's just an issue with dealing with change and that I'll get used to it eventually. It seems alot more functional and easier to maneuver.

Mr Foxhound Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I haven't browsed the site too much so I'll refrain from any long comment, but I'm really missing the "My Checklist" option from before. Any chance this will be added again, or is it already there, hidden somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalTru7h Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Wow, I was reading the GoW2 guide when I went to the home page and I was like "?" then I thought I must have clicked an ad that made me go to another site. So i clicked back and the GoW2 achievement page had been updated as well and i was like "?!". But really good job guys, nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncensedCape Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can't see how anyone would say that. It's a bloody simple layout... The old layout just felt....cleaner. The new one has links all over the show and I think it just looks messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
