Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Aww i liked the pop up menu one. It was good because i wouldnt have to leave the page in order to check all my portal shit. Example, say i was in the forum and i wanted to go to watch a movie off my favorites list. Now i have leave the forum to go check my list. Would it be possible to make an option to have it as a pop up or not?

I have a question.

What will the "Vote for the best of..." link look like now?

Sorry but I prefer the old one, easier to work with.

This is odd. Begooblgaggle. Nice i guess. still have to figure it all out. Change is good. play max payne 2. I got the same small-window-problem as everybody else.

Well It's actualy quite annoying now because I prefered it when it opened in a different window so I could still browse BBS and flash portal as well as checking stats and altering stuff. Still it's okay, much easier to read everythin as well.

I like it better this way, nice work Tom :)

It feels good, Tom. It will take some getting used to, but I can see the benefits of a larger account menu. It's about time we move closer toward that private messaging system. :) It will be convenient to do everything in one window.

I must ask, though. What the hell is wrong with Pico in this picture? I love Mindchamber's work, but this looks like Pico's retarded cousin. I can just see him muttering, "Nnnggaahh, I like tater tots!"

Don't make Tom angry or he will blow up or he makes even worser things... like hentai pictures... that would be nudy so watch out :O

we should really have a choice, put it in portal preferences or something

meh no difference to me so either way im happy.

I agree with that. The old menu was more convenient....... Also, there's definitely a bug with the new one. I can't see it anymore because the part of the page containing that button, and the others (including the one for the portal) are now gone! Anyone else having this problem? (I tried refreshing and logging-off completely, but it's not working). I can't get back on the portal.

Tom, just a curious question. Since the Grounds Gold Menu has changed, would there soon be a new layout for profiles?

It will get Stamperized eventually, once we integrate some new stuff and decide what's relatively "final."

excellent! can't wait, get loads of new features in and make it new and for the better!

Change can be good, but it can suck too. I liked the popup login and popup review...

I enjoy looking at stuff in my profile window while checking out other stuff on NG.

oops

enjoyed

The above-mentioned problem JUST got fixed. No bug to worry about. But, with all due respect, I still liked the old, pop-up menu option better....... My old pop-up blocker was from MSN. I had to turn it off to check my profile on the old menu. But, lately I've been using the one from Yahoo. It works great! It can actually tell the difference between an un-wanted pop-up vs. when I want to see my profile in the old menu!

Interesting. I am only saying that because I have plans to build an account for a website of mine. I just do not know where to start. I know that I need something like mysql, but that is all I know. I know nothing about making forums, archiving images and Flash content, and all of the other stuff. But first, I need to make a perfect Flash movie/game so that everybody knows I am taking this seriously.

Oh, and I got use to the new Grounds Gold menu. Of course, you would rather pay attention to a regular and not me, a nobody who judges five new Flash content everyday since the day he sign up, and will continue on.

Now there's an idea.

Why shouldn't we all be happy?

From a web designers point of view, this is much better. Pop ups are a big area to avoid, I've had many problems with them through certain Firefox extentions. It might not look as good, but it is an improvement.

If I still have one complain, it's that the 'sign in' button is Flash. I usually open account pages like that in a new tab. I know this isn't an easy fix because it would mean major changes to the header, but it would be a good thing to work towards.

Wow... I don't really like it at all.
The previous one was much better and nicer.
Thumbs down...

Oh god, I hate it, seriously. :(

I prefered the compact menu we used to have, I don't have to scroll down for everything, I don't need no explainations!!

I respond to reviews all the time, this method of checking them will only make everything take longer to load and harder to work with... :'(

There could at least be a choice between this and the popup. :\

Here's what the Clockcrew has to say.

Bleeghh.. I don't like it at all! This ruins a lot of the NG-atmosphere (for the menu's) and it's much uneasier. I like the new options and the artwork by Mindchamber though!

Well.. at least you showed how much you wanted to help the people that had problems with the old system... But I think.. (maybe I'm wrong) that the main bunch likes it better the old way!

That was one of my problems with it too. If it's going to stay this way, might as well change that...

Oh god I miss how it used to be...

I don't like it very much. The old menu felt nice, compact and friendly. This is just kinda coldish.
The complaints about pop-up blockings must've been from those who use Yahoo! toolbar, which gayishly blocks anything that's a _blank link.
Please, change it back. And the reviews, too. ;_;

I dont like it :(

I said I like it better this way, but its gonna take some getting used to, some bad habbits.

I agree. The page is dry, and I think that is why everyone is getting upset right now. Personally, I think its going to be better in the end. The layout is better, newer people are going to be able to navigate it better without looking at 8 pt font, and there is actually breathing room on the page. It also makes room to expand and add more content. I would give up the older design if there was going to be more grounds gold content. On the last page, there was not possible way you could shove any more content onto that page. All the room that was left was about a 20 pixel tall area where the vote for submissions link could go.

I say keep going with it. People just dont like change.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something about the New one felt REAL uncomfortable...... I just figured it out! The new one looks more like an internet "Wanted Poster" than a profile! Please Tom, gives us an option of which one we want to use; old or new.

I liked the little cute Ground Gold account "pop-up". =( sorry

I don't like the new log in menu! It's long I have to scroll ( more effort ) and at the moment it's a bit bland! Maybe I'll get used to it? I don't know?

Mainly I hate the blandess ( plainless )
