They are too frequent, and in my mind, often unnecessary. As soon as you get used to one design, you seem to add another one.
Please, pick one, and stick with it.

What do the rest of you say? Better/worse than before? Tired of the (somewhat) frequent changes?

Better than before apart from some small text. If they fix that it'll be perfect

I think you can change it by using the settings/browser options icon next to your avatar at the top of the page. I'm on my phone and it's a helluva bother to use on a touch screen. Just like logging out. Which is also a pain on a phone. That would be my only small gripe.

I wouldn't mind the redesign so much if I knew how to log out.

Seriously, any of you fine folks mind telling me how the hell I can log out?

Sorry yeah I meant to put 'some small text'. The main text in forums is fine for me but I think things like 'The Escapist Portal' tab is a bit small.

Yeah the new design is a big steaming pile but that is par for the course for just about every site redesign in history.
It is just web designers justifying their own existence.

Hover over your avatar in the menu bar, click on the grey bar that says "LOG OUT".

Nothing's happening. T_T

I tried clicking on the arrow next to my avatar and it simply goes to my profile page. I've looked over the entire site, but I can't find the "LOG OUT" icon anywhere.

Looks like I'll be logged in till the end of time.

It should show a drop-down menu with the LOG OUT bar at the bottom when you move your cursor over the arrow or your avatar. You shouldn't have to click until the menu shows up.

Do you have JavaScript turned off by any chance? Normally, when you hover over the profile pic and the arrow, you'll have a menu pop up- it leads to your profile, badges, friends and there is Log Out at the bottom.

OT: I like it. Well, there are some things I might want changed, but I find it better than before, overall. The most annoying parts, I find are the top - it's too much white - it hurts my eyes. Also, now the latest quiz is on the very bottom of the front page :/

It may be one of the glitches.

I've seen a lot of text clutter in the main menu, and the banners for No Right Answer and other shows are blank and don't seem to mention the current week's episode either. Let's hope the can iron it out.

If I have JavaScript I've never knowingly turned it on or off, and would even know how.

OK, so it's safe to assume you haven't turned it off. Maybe it's the browser? You can still log out if you go to this link:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/registration/logout.php

Might be a good idea to give a shout to Tech Team [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Tech-Team]. Describe your situation and mention to them what you're using - Firefox/Opera/Chrome/whatever and what version.

Thanks, I'll probably do that.

Also, both times I tried to sign in after the redesign it somehow auto-saved an older password for some reason.
