I honestly think that you guys should set up a script to block all users with adblock from entering the website... I mean, how incompetent are you for basically stealing from Newgrounds and then asking for the staff to accommodate to your needs?

I'm not really 'asking the staff to accommodate for my needs'. I know that by using adblock some websites are going to screw up. That's what I get for blocking part of the site. I knew this would happen. I'm merely pointing out that there are problems when you use adblock. If they want to fix it or not is not my problem, its their site. I really wouldn't mind if it wasn't fixed, it doesn't bother me at all. It may however, bother other people. If you were making a website, you would want to make the website the best it could be, and let a wide variety of people use the site with no problems (At least I guess you should..).

My point is though, that I know that pages will screw up with adblock, but I really don't mind. If it was a real problem for me, then I would have disabled adblock ages ago.

Yeah..

would it be possible to there to be a classic view that isn't widescreen? because that'd be great.

Yes I can go to classic mode unless there a huge spicy boner in a flash then I am going nothing but wide screen. I am enabling a Play button on all flash. There is more room for more links and buttons on the header, oh what oh what will be put there hopefully a gay section for homos just like myself. And the Artistic Portal. I eagerly await HD even though most flash would be in HD or my computer/intarnets be able to handle.


Yes I think suicide is funny and I am sick of pretending its not.

That was a quick update, ha.

Tom, or PsychoGoldFish, heres a suggestion.

Make the vote bar bigger, it's like a tiny pimple on the ass of the new widescreen layout.

I'm surprised you guys broke down and gave a choice. Obviously it's going to take some time to get this system as tight as the now dubbed "Classic" view. That's a hell of a nice thing to do.

There are a few suggestions I have, but I can't imagine you guys aren't already working on them as I type this, so it's probably redundant.

I know that there are ratings icons on the top left, and I know what they mean. If I was just coming to this site, I don't know if I would. With the wide layout you have a lot of space to put "Mature" or "Everyone", or "Only For Grandpa and the Dog". Also, with so much space in that bar, you have a change to display the awards in the top bar that people covet so much. To put them below the Author Information doesn't lessen the achievement, but might obscure it for people who don't know where to look.

Movie score is also a bit harder to find, but it's not a scavenger hunt or anything. And maybe that's what you guys want, so people will start watching without a preconceived notion on the overall "worth" of the flash that score is associated with. It's also been said that the voting icons themselves are a bit smaller in comparison now, but I think Lil'jim already addressed that was being worked on.

All in all, I see a lot of potential for this layout, and think it's going to make this site even more cutting edge than it already was.

This new form is awesome! I love the new look!

Now if you could only include a pause button for movies...

I can't wait for site-wide wide layout.

Ah, Classic.. there's a few problems out of the way. Now we just have the header problem.

I wouldn't want my website to appeal to those who are stealing from me and my web company... That's an awful analogy and is just like saying "The shop should appeal to buglers because it will attract more traffic to it".

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's stealing.... They're still getting paid you know?! By blocking ads you don't take any money from them. If this was used by everyone, would be a problem, yes, but as it is now, I don't believe it brings the site any financial damage

Although the updates are very good, I'm still going to stick with the new layout. Despite its rather "sloppy" design, it still feels great to play games and watch movies on a bigger screen!

I also love how the full screen, pop-up, and dim buttons were made in flash. :D

if 50% of users block adverts, that's 50% of revenue gone. It's not stealing, no, but it has a negative effect. Maybe I'm biased as someone who makes websites, but blocking ads infuriates me, I'd never ever consider it. It's a disgusting practice.

There's an "Add movie to favorites" button in the box with the flash info. It's next to the flash size.

Finally wtf classic don has done


Thousands of years ago there were no numbers to represent two or three. Instead fingers, rocks, sticks or eyes were used to represent numbers.
