Wide Layout Update 3

[TomFulp]

Goldfish has just launched the third series of updates to the new wide view page. Here's what has changed:

1) Ad-Blocker users no longer get a broken layout.
2) If you turn the lights off and on, your browser's back button will work as expected and not toggle page elements.
3) The page should now appear to load faster, as the ads don't start loading until the page itself has loaded!

So less lag, less bugs... An overall better experience!

In other news...

Adam Atomic has just released flixel! What is flixel? To quote Adam:

"flixel is a completely free collection of Actionscript 3 files that helps organize, automate, and optimize Flash games; an object-oriented framework that lets anyone create original and complex games with thousands of objects on screen in just a few hours, without using any of the Flash libraries."

There's a lot of potential for flixel to usher in a new universe of awesome Flash games, so we're offering a $250 prize to the best flixel-made game submitted to NG in the next month! If you make a flixel game and submit it before July 5th, PM me with a link!

Check out the Acapella Music Collab!

BTW some stuff accidentally got pushed from staging that implied the Art Portal might be going live tonight. Sorry, it isn't! More news on that later.

Can we digg this?

I've started to love the wide layout, it sucked at first but it's so much better than old pop-up now.

[klopatng]

Thank God. I was having a few problems before where the place where the Flash should have been playing was just a white rectangle, but that seems to have been fixed.

Excellent!

[Imacow]

Wheres my art portal?

Lol, looking forward to it.

[Aryk]

Cool, but you should've mentioned the ting in the top left corner. Blah!

Ad-block banners look nice!

[Brundaty]

Awesome. Glad the lag was fixed!

[SacredShit]

Cool, I hope to see good submissions in the Art Portal when you release it.

[Armerad]

The Adblocker pictures wont show up for me.

[Vortex00]

The Art portal is going to be awesome

I noticed that little error first. Do I get a prize?

Also, I'm not noticing the changes in the layout too much. But I guess it's good news for those who did experience bugs and lag.

1) Ad-Blocker users no longer get a broken layout.

yaaaaaaaa my add blocker won't try to gut wide layout yaaaaaaa

[gumOnShoe]

Dugg & enjoyed. Why didn't I see that earlier? :D

Also on the not wide screen pages some of the nav buttons up top are messed up still, but I'm probably pointing out the obvious.

[Oldsage10]

One problem... I'm using Safari, and no ad-blocker, and now I get a broken layout! The Flash Portal button appears like 35 pixels too long and pushes the Store button onto a new line, also, there's a button under the tank that says "Check out the New Art Portal" but it's a dead link...

I've tried clearing my cache, but no luck...

This narrow layout looks like shit! :(

When I win the writing contest, I'll be sure to send you the remaining five dollars when I'm done buying my Pico shirt and whatever other shirt I want.

Tom you're encouraging people to get Ad-Blocker.

[Twilight]

Woo, Acapella Music Collab!

[Tystarr]

Hey Tom,

The Top Navigation is messed up in the regular layout in the Google Chrome Browser.

[drakelord-nK]

Hey Fulp, any reason why there isn't a donate button on the site anywhere?

[xports]

I was about to send angry PM's about the whole "back button and lightening/darkening pages," but you guys got it covered.

Also, I demand my Art Portal.

[Sensationalism]

Sweet. And dugg.

[gta0004]

I think I am more interested in all of these updates that have appeared in the FAQ section.

And that Art portal link.
