New LRR layout.

[Gray24]

I LOOOOOOVE the new LRR layout. It is very pleasing to the eyes and extremely easy to read. I also enjoy how it became insanely easier to find videos and color codes them by type.

Good Job LRRcast!

I agree! what a fantastic new layout! also the e-mail updates bar looks cool! I wonder what that's for?

Can someone post a screen of how it's supposed to look because I don't think it looks quite right on my browser and I have a history of having distorted webpages...

[Tensen01]

I do not at all like it.

It's so busy-looking and cluttered... It's as bad as the recent DeviantArt update.

And what happened to the whole "No ads ever" policy?

And there's no longer video categories?! I used those regularly.

My vote is Thumbs-Down

And what happened to the whole "No ads ever" policy.

This was never a policy.

[CaesarMagnus]

I'll need to get used to it before I say yay or nay.
(It does feel more "crammed in" though).
(But that could be spun as "efficient use of space")

[Tensen01]

And what happened to the whole "No ads ever" policy.

This was never a policy.

I must have misheard,... I just thought I recalled something to that effect being addressed in a LRRcast hmmm... Oh well.

I dunno... It's just for some reason making me physically upset to look at the site and I'm lashing out.

[kkief02]

This surprised me. I'll probably get used to it but like Tensen said it seems cluttered to me.

[Graham]

Well we'd rather not have ads at all. But there's the video ads. And the one on the forums. We've been weaning you guys in.

Basically they are a necesary evil. If we can make money from them, we need to.

As for other complaints, we spent a loooooong time perfecting the design. We have also lived with it for a while, seeing how it holds up. We like it a lot.

But let us know.

[Misty]

Yeah, all the boxes make things seem a bit squished...

The color coding of the videos was a really awesome idea, though, I love that

[Cureless_Poison]

Awsome layout is awsome.

[Lord Chrusher]

One minor thing that bugs me is how thick the bars are between post in treads in the forum. They seem to waste a lot of space.

Also when I am posting a reply I am getting black text for the body of posts in the Topic review section.

I do like the new video page, my complaint for it being a little cluttered was for the main page only.

[Pretzelcoatl]

I preferred the older layout, particularly the borders around the recent videos. Never fear, I bet this one will grow on me in a few weeks!

But would it kill you to put some Penrose tiles in there?

[CyberTractor]

Fix it?

[Paul]

Fix it?

REFRESH

[Gray24]

I've heard quite a many complaints to the effect of the site being cluttered. I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the old site wasn't cluttered enough! This page is very much better than the old one.

Thumbs Up!

[Kara]

It's still being super glitchy with me, though that's probably just my computer.

It'll grow on me probably, just kinda threw me off.

[CyberTractor]

Fix it?

REFRESH

I did. Didn't work.

Pros:
-I like that you finally integrated the Iron Stomach videos, so I don't need to go elsewhere to see if you updated.
-And the updated About and Videos pages are nice.

Cons:
-I can see where people get the "cluttered" feel. It will take some getting used to.
-The ad does kinda stick out, I guess that's the point.
-I like that you have a Blog thing on the main page, but maybe you could put up links the the other new blogs. On the blog page itself or in the About section, maybe?

Overall, it's ok. I think I'm already getting used to it. Now wheres today's update?

[Joystick Hero]

Personally, I think I like it. I mean, it will take a bit to get used to it, what with being used to how it used to look and all, but I think it's dandy. I'm a big fan of having all the videos in one place (which now that I think of it, only the Iron Stomach ones were separate before) and I like the color coding.

Other than that, I have nothing to say against it really, other than the strangeness of a new format. I'll get over that though.

[Vaughn]

I dont like it because its different!
Ill never get used to it, EVER.

well, its not that bad i gue.. NO! BAD CHANGE!

[Tuldas]

The initial load spun my head. Now that I look through it again, the only things I really think could be improved upon, but I will end up getting used to, regardless of what is done, are:

1) Bring back the Shorts/Music/Stupidity/Etc. tags.

Never have I loaded LoadingReadyRun.com, saw the LoadingReadyRun banner at the top, and wondered if the video I was watching was indeed, LRR.

2) Recent videos next to recent videos.

This is what really drags my eyes to the right side of the page. The newest weekly video is obviously going to be right there, so that will always be visible, and unless you are planning on letting the Phails drop from most recent underneath the videos, the only thing that would need to be in that box on the upper right is Iron Stomach.

BUT! You now seem to be holding the ISC videos on LRR.com, so if you're going to show those on the list of most recent videos then that entire box can be gotten rid of, and I think will get rid of a lot of the "cluttery" feel.

[Paul]

I did. Didn't work.

Hmmmm. Are all the other pages working? Try forcing a refresh by hold down SHIFT and clicking the refresh button.

[Graham]

Tuldas, the idea with those recent boxes is that they're there on every page.
