What an odd place for the button to be.

Yeah I don't mean to be a bitch but the new pop-up button still doesn't like safari.

Alright, thank you, Tom for listening to the users.

Good to be back at classic... Now only if the flash in classic could "expand", that would be great.

I don't get why anyone is complaining about a few more ads. I honestly didn't even notice them until someone pointed it out. Have these people not been on the internet long enough to remember when every site spammed popups at you? Compared to that this is heavenly.

Well you'll be happy to see they're still there. :)

Classic mode looks like old mode, but wide... Because wide is the way things will be going.

I still think Newgrounds should stick to the way it is now. Wide is cool and all, but the way it was before just felt.. better. But I guess its the new time for NG to have another major over-ride, so Ill just have to get used to it :D.

Way to get shit done Newgrounds :) I quite like the new wide layout myself and the T-shirt ads seem to fit in really nicely without them being too "in your face", if that makes any sense.

Anyway, it's awesome how you got straight onto "Classic View". Put all the moaners/complainers/nostalgia freaks at ease ;)

I'm happy again.

That's a fun link BTW, you can read about how much people hated the change.

The links to pages 2/3 don't work.

OMG - YOUR SITE IS IMPERFECT!

wow, ive already got so used to teh new layout the old one looks odd. Although It was nice dissabling thoose annoying play buttons. (am I the only one who like auto-play content)

From the way things are organized, the author, the flashes' score, authors comments, etc.. are neglected in a sense (as in not as important as they used to be). Its like the Flash and the related Flashes (whatever they are) are far more superior to the artist, the reviews and everything else.

I guess in that sense, this is why I liked the 'classic' view better. Before you ever opened the Flash you got a taste of the Flash through the authors comments that were right there, the reviews, and the author him/herself. The Flash was a little more personal that way, like it really belonged to the authors. I know when I first opened up the page for a Flash the first thing I would look at was who made it, what they had to say, and the score.

Now all I see is the Flash itself. Now this in itself is not a problem, and its probably better this way. I just wish it was a little more personalized. Maybe have a little caption above the Flash or something with the authors icon and the authors name.

Still, I'd say its a step in the right direction.

On an unrelated note, heres a couple of bugs. I'm using Firefox 3, along with adblock, and noscript if it matters (Which it probably does).

I actually kinda agree, I don't like how the "related flashes", that really doesn't have much to do with the artist, or the flash, is prioritized above everything else. I never even click on a "related flash", so I'd rather just see 'em go.

Other than that, I love the new layout.

This is an outrage. Why isn't there a retro preset which gives the portal a looping unicron theme?

You know DAMN right what I'm talking about.

In classic mode the title of the movie appears nowhere on the page.

Ewwww.

Conservatives are usually boring, unless their cause is just.

I think we should embrace the changes going on here. Everyone straight up bashing the change should realize that the NG team is at least 5 steps ahead of everyone here being negative and they have actually planed this out very well.

Though, I must say nothing is really changing here.. NG is just growing a little more. NG started out as a personal showcase.. Then the change came when Tom decided to make it a showcase for everyone's work.

Great work guys! I'm glad my opinion (and others' as well) has been heard. I'm looking forward to the end result.

The new flash-viewing layout is not that bad, considering all the preferences. Still, I prefer to watch flashes in the original format.

A wide screen button in the pop up window would be awesome.

As a lot of people like the new widescreen option, however they also prefer to view their movies/games in a pop up window, so make the best of both and combine them?

i just think this would be pretty awesome

Well, i'm still a fan of the auto-loading though.

I was just wondering is the whole site being transfered to a wide layout? not just the flash pages? it would give users less scrolling to do and condense the site as a whole.

eg. have the featured games beside the featured movies section so people can choose from the second the open the page. also i feel that when you are in the new layout the icons in the header in my opinion should also spread out to make the whole thing seem even.

i know some things have been moved around but i would still prefer to have at least the designeres credits beside the new window so they get some instant recognition for their work instead of people having to scroll to find out details about the game/movie. (there is still room to work with)

Ps what are the dimensions when a flash is in widescreen mode for any programmers who would like to design their contributions around the new layout?

You're probably part of the reason they need more ads, genius.

Like I said... You guys should just have a script block people from the site if they are using adblock. I mean, you should 'adapt' (like that kid said) to all of the selfish dipshits out there.

To be honest, I liked it a lot better when it was narrow. I don't like how everything's really big and wide, I liked it narrow and stylish. I would like to have the option to have it wide or narrow, because I just think it looks queer and plain weird! Sorry :/

Then we would need less ads... and maybe people would quit submitting here and we would have less bandwidth to pay for... yes I think this plan will work! Then you could enjoy the old stale content and NG would never have to evolve and adapt!

Great idea, I expect implementation by this evening, fuck good quality fresh content!
