Poll: how you like the new escapist layout

OMGIHATEITCAUSECHANGEISSCARY!!

Nah honestly i don't really mind it, bit of a pain to flick through the videos in comparison the prior one, though that could be just me not used to it yet.

I've already voiced my opinion on it. There are some things I like but they took away a few things that were actually my favorite additions to the original site revamp.

The text on my laptop screen is either tiny (at 100%) or enormous (at 110% on NoSquint). The font was fine before, I wish that hadn't changed.

Also, where are the video galleries? Clicking Jimquisition from Videos loads the latest video. I want the gallery back, please, or to know how to find it.

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!! I hate that there aren't drop down menus that show the serieses.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I like it better then the one they had before it. That is about all I had to say, it took my a few seconds at first to find the forum button and I was a tad scared, I won't lie. Now that I have located it I find this new look to be an improved version of what they tried to do with the last look.

 

[Sandernista]

It's okay.

Can't find forums in the top bar though.

That's annoying.

 

[Evil Smurf]

I love it

It is quite a bit more compact so I like it more. I used to come here for zero punctuation but that series has been on a steady decline IMO and I haven't watched it for a while.

Now the forums are all I really come here for because there is such a diverse community ( except for the fact that almost everyone has an unnatural love for Valve) and that is front and center so i'm happy.

I think you should have more options than extreme yes or no.

OT: Its way better than the old one where everything was cramped and goofy.

 

[Arakasi]

I wouldn't mind it, but I miss having the vidoes and webcomics tab come down with actual videos and webcomics.

 

[SeeIn2D]

I think it's pretty sleek so I really like it personally, but I want them to stop changing it lest they go down the road of youtube which changed their layout so much that they eventually just turned it to utter shit. Can't stand the new youtube layout and if the escapist follows youtube's example of sporadic layout changes and ends up with something like that I'll be upset.

But for now I really like this one. I feel like the people that don't more just hate the fact that it's changing so much instead of the actual layout itself, but thats just my speculation, some people just may not see the layout like I do.

 

[Shinsei-J]

I like it but there are just some problems I have with it.
Main point being that huge ugly banner on the main page and that add space at the top of the page that makes way to much white space above the logo.
These are just the complaints of a perfectionist though.
Overall it's a very nice layout and it will just take me some time to get used to it.

 

[Conza]

I feel like they just changed the layout, but anyway this is an improvement, particularly the buttons at the top, looks much more well done.

 

[The Ubermensch]

I'm ok with it, and I think this picture sums up how I think of people who don't like it.

Ah, but see the old layout was shit too. I like the one from two years back.

Then again, I'm the outlier that proves the rule in most cases

 

[Extragorey]

Well, one good thing came out of this:
No more annoying on-hover drop-down menus that get in the way of everything you're trying to do. Amen to that.

 

[Harker067]

I`m fine with it. I'll call it a slight improvement. Could have been much worse... (I'm lookin at you gawker)

 

[Ovrad]

Why is there like an inch of wasted space up top? This bugs the hell out of me.

 

[somonels]

Still cluttered, confusing visual hierarchy, new header is visually unfitting and technically badly implemented just like the new menu, dunno if it's just unresponsive or due to resource requirements. e still ignores the fact that graphic redesigns aren't going to make their site better.
