how come some of the regulars, quite a lot of them even, so fucking conservative?

open question. i expect no satisfying answer. unless you all who feel targeted teamed up, made a song and did it choir-style - where you all would explain to the tunes rythm that you're all douchebags. also, you'd have a congo-drum that went "LOL-LOL-LOL" when you banged it.

Man, I want one of those. :(

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.

Newgrounds... where all us freaks head to for great fun!

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 ;)

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.

I think it's a very nice feature, great idea guys! Although I prefer the classic view, the option to dim the surrounding brightness and watch in wide-view is very pleasing at times.

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.

I am not retarded.

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.

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.

Indeed, the author and file information header should be replaced with the actual title of the movie.

I must ask why do you believe the change to widescreen is so necessary right now? I realize that it would be a nice change but I do not believe that wide screen monitors and submissions are the norm right now.

We aren't changing the layout for widescreen monitors. NG's current layout was made for 800x600, when just about every website nowadays is made for 1024. Our layout is getting smaller and smaller on most computers, not just people who have widescreen monitors. We would have gone wide with the last redesign but that redesign started in 2005 and there were still enough 800x600 users that we didn't want to alienate. Nowadays, the whole web is geared at 1024 and we're behind the times.

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

The 2007 redesign took two years so we're trying to avoid that this time. We wanted to get the wide view page out ahead of the redesign so that we could work out the issues and prepare everyone for it, otherwise the "real" redesign launch would have been met with the sort of response we got this week.

The Art Portal will DEFINITELY be included in the redesign, as it is launching well before it. The Lit Portal is more in question at the moment, although it is definitely coming. We're only so many people. :(

The Art and Lit Portal were both intended to be part of the 2007 redesign when we started it in 2005, which is why most of the codebase for NG was overhauled to better accommodate more portals... As fate would have it, a lot of stuff is being built from scratch again anyway for further improvements and future flexibility.

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
