Holy fucking shrapnel. You guys outdid youselves this time! :D

The whole design overall looks incredible. I'll explore it a bit more later, but what I saw so far is very well-done. The whole Grafitti-styled graphics combine a lot with the site (and the tankmen), the separation between Games and Movies is also nice and...

...yeah, you get the point. I like it a lot.

That's been a big debate topic. We were attempting to reduce clutter on the page BUT it was pretty convenient. Will continue to be pondered.

1. Accidental, will get that back running.

2. We'll have to address that. With so much to do to get this redesign done, some stuff ends up left on the sideline.

3. They have always been an abuse magnet, not sure if we really need to encourage someone making the worst submission. It was originally meant to show the well-intentioned stuff that was so bad it's good, but instead it became a race to the bottom. I know it's a mainstay on the site though... Once we come up for air we'll re-evaluate stuff like this.

I'm still getting the "connection was reset" error quite often. I assume this is just a bit of a server hiccup?

guess what? i don't hate the redesign. while i hate time line on face book and the "new" youtube i dont see anything wrong with new newgrounds.

it looks stylish and fresh. i didn't notice any new features or old features that are gone yet- just that stuff got rearranged but ive got no problem with that. looks fresh and modern. just a shame by avatar is suddenly gone on my user page and that header thing I had on my own user page doesn't seem to exist anymore either. oh well

An Archive of wall skins would really be something...
Have a choice of say 4-5 red based skins for the Movies category for instance

You can filter by rating on games and movies so there's no need for it.

Outstanding job, Tom! I'm digging the project system. Makes it really easy for collaborations.

My only complaint is that the custom user icons are in the forums now. I would have preferred to keep it exclusively level icons.

Am I the only one having problems with the re-design? For some odd reason everytime I try to play a game the pre-loader won't appear it just has the little red x inside the white box in the upper left hand corner of the screen do I need to update something on my cpu or is it a site problem?

NG Staff and contributors, it's beautiful! All of you who worked on this did a brilliant job. It's going to take some getting used to and is definitely a major shock to the system (thank you so much for leaving the classic portal intact while some of us adjust to the changes). I'm not sure if I like the new level icons as much as the old ones, I might just need to get used to them. I do love the new auras and their descriptions, but we're missing one that implies homosexuality, as well as one for stat whores (the latter is admittedly more useful, but the former is tradition). Thank you all for working hard for a site the rest of us get to use for free. I don't think I'm out of line in saying that everyone appreciates the effort and congratulates your success.

Wow... just wow! I gotta hand it to the NG staff! I didn't think it would turn out this well. It's mind blowing!
I'll let you know if I find any bugs.

Pros:

-More emotes on the forums
-Profile icons show up on forums
-New level icons and reorganized icons
-Site looks fantastic
-COOKIE CUTTER ACCOUNTS NO LONGER SHOW UP ON TOP 10 FLASH CONTENT SUBMITTERS!! WAY TO GO TOM!! <3
-Site design is fantastic, new stuff everywhere!!
-Image sizes have been bumped from 150k to 200k, fantastic

Cons:

-Reply is pretty much replay and quote, give us a Reply and then a Reply and Quote button, I'm sure not everyone wants to quote someone else all the time :P
- Can't deposit points at the moment it seems
-Farewell choosing your own auras, whatever kind of user you declare yourself as is what will determine your aura
- No stats page for the audio portal like there is with the flash portal
- Total Vote Power is absent but this has already been stated and nice to see you all working on that
-Some minor glitches here and there such as pages sometimes not loading but I trust that shall be fixed quickly
-Move/Game reviews are separated now

not really a con, but will just take time to get used to is all

Overall:

-Site looks fantastic and well done
-Will take a bit of time to get readjusted ad used to
-Looking forward to having and seeing a lot of fun stuff this year

Thanks for the redesign Tom and staff!!

Two minor things that ore bothering me:
When I click "reply" it quotes the entire post I clicked "replied" to. Instead of taking me to a blank post that I can fill in. I have to delete all the extra quote text.

Can you bring back the "reply" and "reply and quote" buttons? I liked those buttons.

Also I don't like how all stats are hidden, can't you have them show again in the user-pages?
