I just recently accessed NG and noticed it right away, thanks, it makes all our lives easier.

Also, when you log in, it will now refresh the current page. This makes it easier to get to work, since most of the time users aren't trying to access their account info. If you do need to access your account info, simply click the "ACCOUNT OPTIONS" button that appears after you log in. We are hoping this way works best for most people!

That's fine with me, I don't really mind it that much. What's a click away won't do me any bad.

So the buttons might still be too big, the vertical height too tall, and the slogan too bland - but beyond that - any other bugs / glitches with the new header?

No glitches, works fine, and yes, the buttons need to be improved on.

BTW - we noticed a dramatic increase in sign-ups yesterday. If the trend continues, it means the new header has encouraged a lot more people to sign up for accounts. Hopefully that's a good thing! :)

That's cool. It's great to see NG is changing. It'l be great when we reach 1,000,000 users, even if some of those are alts.

Its probably a good thing but great work on the new additional stuff. I was going to email you when you first put the new header up about mabye adding a save box next to your log in, im not too sure why i didnt in the end but good work for adding it.

If it's that much of a problem, change the resoloution to a smaller size

Well like I emailed you about yesterday, if you login with the original login page, it will log you in and you can vote normally, but the account info button doesn't appear.

But hopefully that's been fixed now. :)

I enjoy the vast Improvement to NG. I love the new header and the layout looks cleaner. It's also nice that now I can save my log in info (it's sad when you do all that voting and find out your not even logged in >.<) and I don't have to keep going to my profile page. I can see why more people would be signing up with the new layout. :)

It's beautiful Tom, I love it. As long as you never change the main color scheme of Newgrounds then I'll stand by your decisions :D

This is just catering to the 640x480 crowd, which is virtually non-existant anymore. It's just pointless.

I agree with a few other people that the forum needs a bigger button... maybe switch it with mature just to make NGs image a bit better :P
Also i never really liked it how people covered up the buttons url with stuff like Flash Portal Games etc (when you hover mouse over a link, look at bottom of screen in IE) it looks like youv got something to hide :P
Any new layout news ???

the site is set for 800x600, not that

but i can understand what you mean, i'm not changing, though it did look cool when i looked at the site with 800x600

Unfortunatly so =( I remember when you discussed changing the site res to 1024x768, which I think would be great - though it doesn't look too bad how it is.

Thank you! It was pretty annoying to not be able to stay logged in especially if the browser window got closed and reopened.

Thank GOD!

Thanks for the update Tom and i don't notice any bugs or glitches my way.

>=(. Needs more wide. Logic has nothing to do with my demand.

Yay!!! *clicks"

None whatsoever here, it's looking great.
Do you have any ideas for the slogan yet?

Heh, soon we'll be 3 times the size of luxemburg :D

Yeah, I use 1280-1024, thanks for including me without the scroll :P

I agree I think it is better then yesterday. =)

But still I liked the old one better but what's complaining gonna accomplish. = |

NOOBS - ONLY!

I am designing my site for 1024*768+

I don't do with pixels; I do with percentages

it's pretty good, somehow it loads slower than the old one but apart from that and the huge button sizes and height its good

There are certain good points about the new header and all, but IMO, the old one was a bit better, because it was more, I don't know, more internets, while the new one is way too mainstream. But that's just the little isolationist, who really doesn't want more new members on the site talking.

But as it is in your (Tom) best interest to gather more and more members, I'll quit my old-man bitching, and take it to a C&C thread and/or spinnoff forum ):

I like the updates, since it's relatively simple, I suggest a background for the username/password fields to make them look sexier, and perhaps shorten it with css?

I like the buttons being big and the header being verticle, stands out in a good way.

Good and bad; More noobs all around but maybe more talented artists. Anyone know when the entire sight will be stamperized?

Sexy. The only thing I'd now suggest is that where it says "Logged in as Evark" you should make it instead say "Logged in as Evark." I think it would be helpful to have a link to our profile on that page, if it could be managed. If not, that's cool too. I just know I'm pretty vain and like to look at my pretty face every couple of minutes. Kills my boner having to open account options and then click to view my profile.

Otherwise, total hotness. Or perhaps we could have a button underneath "Account Options" that says "View Profile." Either way would be cool.

Vertical height looks fantastic now. Buttons are still a little big... slogan...

I can dig the new layout for sure. For realz yo.

"How We Roll" I think could be a great slogan also, with the new tank and all. Has a light-hearted feel, but still "hard" enough to hack it on NG. Just my thoughts :)

i thought it was weird i kept on having to sign in

i have no problem with the buttons being too big.
i actually like them a lot more now.
the only problem I gave with the header is it's width. for the rest it looks way better and more inviting.

Holy bend sweetness!

Correlation does not imply causality. >:(
But if it's consistant over time then you can draw a reasonable hypothesis.

...NAHOIVEN!

Those were my main issues with the header when it comes to accessibility.
Now just to make nice buttons like the old ones that had icons and animation and work on the size of the header... I'm glad you are tweaking stuff to make it more comfortable...
Also for slogan I can honestly say I'd stick the original brilliance of “The problems of the future, today". It has humor in it in an odd sort of way that attracted me to it from the first.

Hope the new designs by Stamper turn out great. And if 70% of people say they don't like the new slogan and the remainder is mostly people sucking up to you or are basing their opinions likewise to yours like a fuhrher, don't you think we shoould get a better slogan? I say turn it back to the problems of the future, today! For a while till you can fix this. Along with the rest of the complaints asking to fix something.
