I hate Caps Lock. I hate it so damn much.

You'd have to send a PM to WadeFulp about it. Make sure to include some proof (such as the school you went to / etc) to prove that it's really you and not a phony trying to gain unauthorised access.

There are so many productive things to do. Writing tickets and eating donuts aren't them.

my guess would be because they now have a license to kill, and can always call them "accidents" which will just give them paid leave instead of jail

Sadly spectatorism < pioneerism (?)

In addition to a layout that can function well on mobile, we have received very well-informed feedback about the importance of slimming down the NG header for maximum content visibility in traditional browsers. The current layout may compete too much with the content, which is the most important part of NG.

You wot, Tom? In the beginning the NG tank was apparently "too big" and then it was shrunk to its small size. Now you're deciding to remove that and just put the man? (He's not tankman without the tank IMO)

Check out this rough slim header concept.

Nope sorry not gonna view that on my desktop/laptop browser.

Artists, UI designers and NG fans, I'd love any feedback and mockups you want to make in response to this. Please read the notes below:

1) The top left has a menu button, increasingly common in modern design for both mobile and web. This would be how our menu is accessed via mobile but is it going too far for web browsers? Are we hiding our awesome content categories and requiring too many clicks? There are trade-offs we could make; for example, users could have the option to PIN a persistent nav under the header. We could also include the nav on any page that is "owned" by NG, such as the front page and individual hubs, whereas content pages and user pages are owned by the individual user and we wouldn't compete with them for attention.

HAS NEWGROUNDS GONE TOO FAR???

sorry I couldn't resist

But in all seriousness, it sounds like going too far. Although the trade-off sounds OK.

2) The search bar would expand based on screen width, becoming a search button on mobile. We would go back to a unified search, this time powered by Google since our search will never be as good as a Google search of NG.

Sounds good, the current search isn't that good.

However, the unified search doesn't sound too good -- a person wanting only the flash game of a popular thread thing on newgrounds' BBS (for the sake of it, let's assume people are making hundreds of ALS ice bucket challenge threads on NGBBS even though it never happened). It's going to get buried under them all.

But if you're going to use Google's search, please please please hide the "Powered by Google" thing. Looks rather amateurish for such a professional site.

3) The Upload button is a BIG ONE. In the current design, the header has buttons for Dumping Grounds and the Project System; most people don't have a clue what those buttons are. The upload button would open this menu, providing users with more clear options as well as educating them about the files we accept (many animators and devs still think we are SWF-exclusive). Note: This could be prettier looking.

If it's shiny, I'll accept! :3

4) The notifications (exclamation point vs star) is to the right of uploads. This will let you know when you have new interactions and will also be your link to your feed.

OK

5) Next is your PM notifications.

OK

6) Far right is your profile, which could show your user icon like we currently do. The big question here is whether we have one-click profile access like we do now, or if we have this button open a mini menu, like many sites do. The options on this menu would be PROFILE, SETTINGS, EARNINGS and LOG OUT. There are people that don't know they can click the gear to check their earnings, so this might be more clear.

Yeah the drop down menu sounds good. Although on mobile version, it could open up a menu, whereas on the desktop, simply hovering over the icon would open up the menu and clicking the icon would open up a menu. That won't hassle desktop users.

7) Would we still have a 728x90 banner ad under the site header? In a perfect world, not on content and user pages. This could happen if the balance of everything else covers costs and it would be pretty exciting.

Probably.

If it was possible, you could put porn ads on A rated submissions. I'd imagine there being a bit more revenue from that.

For further reference material here is the layout Luis was working on and an example of how it would collapse on mobile.

The desktop layout doesn't look all that different, maybe a mobile version of the current design like that?

Here's a new mock-up by test-object that has the menu button anchored to the bottom left, with a fun pop-out menu. We do have other categories that would need to be addressed and the anchoring is non-traditional but looking at it gets the gears turning.

Looks good! Although one small (nitpick) problem is that some mobile users might have a "sidebar" application - when they swipe from left edge to right of the screen, or right edge to left (configurable) they might open up the sidebar; if they mean to open up the NG sidebar and instead open up the sidebar application I imagine they'd be a bit peeved. Nothing much though.

Soak it in and let us know what you think! Mock-ups are fun to look at and even weird ones can inspire great ideas. This is also a good opportunity to pitch your color preferences and other aspects of NG's future visual identity.

Sounds great! Although I have a vaguely distressing feeling that this new layout update might end up like the Windows 8 of Newgrounds...although it might just be because I'm overly cynical and resistant to change.

did fucking ANYONE check out matrixmixer???

Goddammit, people. I asked if there was a way to swap the left and right stereo channels. Why do you people keep telling me to buy new ones? That's not my problem. When I wear them backwards, they're fine.

But why would you need to contact all of the moderators on Newgrounds? Only the forum moderators police the BBS, not all of them. So basically SCTE3 won't even need to help your situation.

Cut the guy some slack, maybe he meant to call forum moderators but didn't know how to

Decrease the size, nobody's going to fucking watch 60 minutes of 1280 px stuff, not with these things called "bandwidth caps". 720p or 480p is a pretty good bet.
Anything above 160 Kbps audio is overkill, the human ear can't distinguish beyond that.
