I dont like the new front page look and having the forum links and news on the right instead of the old left style is also annoying
I want the old style back Is anyone else with me on this??

What things at the top and bottom of the screen? The navigation bars?
Yeah, they make th screen small and in order to get the screen normal-ish I must zoom out 25%

I'm going to agree here. Those little bars annoy me terribly. It's not sp much the design as a whole, but the light colors and the bars. Those are my complaints.
Not enough to stop me from coming here, BTW.

OK, I officially feel like a grade A cock. I humbly apologise and take back what I said. The new design actually seems to be loading faster than the old one now.
The navigation bars are a little in your face. Could they perhaps be compressed into a minimised icon that floats in one corner of the screen and expands when hovered over?
Also, are the news articles on the homepage meant to overlap?

I would love some feedback and suggestions about what to do with the color scheme of the forums. I'm not happy with the forum's look either.
Would you guys prefer if the primary header navigation stayed stationary instead of following you on the page?
Would you guys prefer if I got rid of the bottom navigation bar? I can integrate those elements into the header instead.

_Anshin_ wrote:1.) Header and footer remain static instead of relative. The menu bar and the bottom feedback bars lag and sometimes get stuck on scrolling while browsing from a phone or using a fast scroll feature on the computer.
_Anshin_ wrote:2.) the right sidebar (not where we see the news, but the one that hosts the "Find me on Double click Ad banner"). Could you move that banner to the bottom. It being so far out to the right pushes a majority of the content into a tighter (less real-estate) area than it was with the old design. It makes it hard to read some articles/etc especially with browsing on a mobile or tablet device.

I don't understand what problem you are experiencing. The "Find me on Double Click Ad Planner" image appears at the bottom of the far right advertisement column directly below the Google ad on interior pages or the Kapow Toys ad on the homepage. Does it not appear that way to you?

This is something that I still want to implement. I've come up with about a 1/2 dozen different concepts for this and none have made me happy. I have another new idea that I want to finalize later tonight. Hopefully I'll like this idea well enough that I can roll out the change and give all of us back the spotlight navigation that we need on the homepages.

It would make things more interesting.

Are these the same parents and kids who are now accustomed to hearing phrases like "enemy scrotum" and "Deep Wang"? How about John Malkovich dropping the F-bomb to Bumblebee (unless I hallucinated that)?
