Yea, the Newgrounds header needs to be wider now to fit the new layout...

Nice! Thanks PsychoGoldfish, Liljim and Bob! It looks awesome!

Though I have a questions, what will happen to users who use a smaller resolution? Will they see only a part of the page or what? I'm not one of those people, but I'm curious :)

Also, the "night mode" doesn't work well in Opera. I tried it several times on different submissions and some places remain the same (see pic). I'm using Opera 9.64 on Windows XP.

It looks cool,
but I noticed you can't see the medal descriptions.

They just keep flashing.

Response to Wide Layout 2009-05-26 20:29:20


The only ONLY thing that could go wrong in this flash is that you can just upload some form of Last Measure (you know what I'm talking about) in flash form and then watch as every person who sees it has to shut down his computer/browser.

So, I suggest some option to "start loading flash" or something like that. Other than that, awesome! FULLSCREEN BIATCHES!

I also noticed on adult movies like the Street Fighter Collab, there's a notification that says "Adult Content"

Newgrounds becoming family friendly? WHAT HAS HAPPENED?!

I don't really like autoplay. May we have an option for it? I don't want to autoplay a movie everytime I enter the submission, or just find out a fake submission or something with seizures or coded with spam.

Yes you can, you just need to approve the "Adult Content" thing first.

Its quite big and in your face. There is only one thing i would like changed, move the flash from the top to the bottom of the page, after the authors comments and reviews; having a play button scrolling you down to the location of the flash (Kind of like the transition when you add a comment to someone's post). It would be like 10X better if that changed. Its still nice though, good job.

The pages seem to be getting way to cluttered, but I guess this is what it takes to let idiots use Newgrounds.

Response to Wide Layout 2009-05-26 20:34:33


few things:

1. "Pop Out" doesn't work for me (running safari 4 beta)

2. I'd like to be able to specify a "no resize" option when submitting, cause some stuff freaks out on other sizes, or lags horrendously, or is made of bitmaps and would thus kill quality on a larger size

Response to Wide Layout 2009-05-26 20:35:38


A couple things I noticed:

1. Vote box (The 1-5 of Pico Heads) looks out of place on the flash pages.
2. When reviewing, the "No Stars" Button seems out of place. Maybe extend the review fields?

Sigh.... The ratings are in the upper left corner of each movie or game.

I find this to be very homosexual, and I mean that in the most negative way possible. On own my private grading scale, I would give it a mere two units out of ten possible total units.

It looks amazing Tom, but I always loved the simplicity and quickness of viewing Flashes in the past. This new redesign is even slow on my computer that has fairly good specs and FireFox being the browser of choice, and I can only imagine the horror of the slowness of machines with even worse specs and using IE, as most morons use. So may I suggest adding a button that switches between the old and new layout, or maybe an option in the user settings to have it permanently set to the desired design of choice. Either that or figure out a way to make it more snappy (I know its easier to say than actually do but I got fate in you and Rob).

Whoopty-fuckin-doo. (siriously, though, it's great)

The "Related Content" info needs to re-populate with proper results. Until then you will see a lot of content that doesn't feel very related... The end result should be much better.

It better be.... ...BITCH!

If you want to test the "Max Size" button, which makes Flash fill the width of the layout, try it on
these!

HAHAHA UR BUTTONS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO SLIMY TEXT HAHAHA.

You can still open Flash in a pop-up as well, and the moon icon dims the lights, like the lightbox layout we had before this.

Tehnkyou kindleh.

Give it a minute to soak in and let us know if anything is totally broken.

Nothing's broken.

Everyone fuck PsychoGoldfish, Liljim and Bob!

fixed.

the "wide layout" should be an OPTION, not shoved down our throats... kinda like youtube does with the HD button... i don't like it one bit... ok, so maybe a bit... : P i feel bad for people with slow connections though...

If you didn't fully read Tom's post, please do. However, I'll say this:

the suggested content is kinda skewed at the moment, but it's being updated as I write this up (it'll take a few hours). Eventually, all suggested content will be of the same type and suitability - so if you land on a game that's suitable for everyone, the suggested content that falls to the right or below what you're playing will be of the same suitability (and will be games, rather than a mixture of games and movies)... thus negating the reason for putting suitability against the suggested content.

Furthermore, "shock" flashes that are inappropriately categorised are unlikely to show up in any of those lists in the first place.

In other words, don't worry about it too much.
