Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I noticed you changed the calendar format so that it's now a simple list instead of actually resembling a calendar. Is it possible to add more spots to it now? So that people might know of events even farther ahead of time? Maybe 6 or 8 instead of 4?

please tell me the surprise is changing the backgrounds.

The new thumbnail info is also up and running as of yesterday - what do you think? It shows author info on the front page and scores everywhere else. Some of the genres overlap the content rating... We're still pondering the best solution there.

I really love the new thumbs, the whole square layout look pretty neat and I am glad the short descriptions are back.

Talking about scores everywhere else, I noticed I could see the star rating for a submission that is still under judgement when I visit the user's profile and look at the latest game / movie section.

BAD NEWS:
Remember how I said we have a surprise coming on Friday? It's being postponed for a short bit, we'll just surprise you when it happens. There is still a game coming out Friday that will be a big hit so show up for that!

Surprise surprises are more surprising than announced surprises anyway.

CONTEST NEWS:

Aigis has announced the winners of Comic Jam 2!

Great news, congrats to the winners! Gotta check all the submissions out as soon as I have enough time.

I should really be reminding people that we ARE doing Pico Day this year on April 28th. I need to sort out what the prizes will be, they might be kinda low-key this year.

As long as it's still called Pico Day I am fine. :P

Looks great Tom! Thanks much for the adding on :)

Oh well hopefully the game is as good as Abobo's Big Adventure was.

FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys, I really worked my ass off on this project! Thanks to Thomas for writing the story for me. I am very glad MiddleFingerRings story got 2nd place, while there were a lot of good entries his was definitely one of the best!
P.S. some of the very best stories I have ever read where comics, there is a world of comics hidden out there that will completely blow your mind, not just tarts in spandex. (although some spandex tarts are good too :P)

The new updates are GREAT! The new thumbnail dynamic link thing is pretty cool. And I am really glad the titles are back, I mean I agree the large icons look real great "INTERNET OF THE FUTURE" for sure, but I just like it this way better!

Thanks again everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait until comic jam #3

About fucking time.

Anyway, nice to see the comic jam winners. I most definitely agree that all the top three winning entries should be there. 'twas fun fucking around in that competition.

Also really like the new author rollover screens. It's like viewing a rollover with information, which is useful, and neat. Fuckin' a.

A good thing that Pico day's continuing. It's just occurred to me that the current piece I'm working on would be great as a submission for the day, but eh, I'll just cook up another one then.

Alliteration.

Yes.

I like the sound of that!

Most excellent. I had been wondering about this issue since the redesign and I'm glad to see this feature come back.

I do have a request of my own in case nobody else has mentioned it...

With the old format, I could go to the summary screen for all of my flash movies and see whether or not any new reviews had been left on them. Right now, unless I'm missing something, I have to go to each movie individually to see any new reviews. Can we bring the new review notification back to the movie summary page or perhaps have review notifications show up in the inbox or something?

I'm hoping the surprise is the notification system which notifies you of responses to reviews and posts of yours, of any new reviews on your submissions, and so on...

The feed has turned out to be one of my favourite features of the redesign. A quick question - is there any chance in the future that we'll be able to adjust the amount of updates the feed bar displays at any one time? Or that it'll be able to indicate (perhaps by greying out) feed updates already visited?

slightly worried about people realising that I reply to their reviews with dumb jokes
