Oh yeah, I also found a new bug in the system, Tom. Whenever I log in and want to go to my account options, it stays like a black space and says "checking login status..." and I can't really get to my account options.

Let's all catch thumbtacks on our bare eyes!

The least favorite part is how a bunch of stuff doesn't work and also how it takes 80 years to type a bbs post or pm. My favorite part I guess is the new user pages and audio portal. Uh.. a little suggestion, you should make it so that you can listen to the showcased audio from the front page as opposed to having to click their link or whatever.

The Street Figther "NG Team" app is stunning. Though I think I like the general uniformity of the new design the best. Nice work. I can't wait until the bugs are out and all the features are back up. The leveling up seems a bit aggressive, but what you gonna do? 2.5 years to level up to 37? Not that it matters, it's just that you said there are 60 levels. How long do you expect me to live?

I love just about everything about the redesign except for the fact that the text fields cannot keep up with my typing.

This thread is made of WIN.

Something overlooked my most of the posters in this thread (seemingly) is the streetfighter 'game' to get to know the NG staff.

Also, the UOTD hasn't updated since yesterday.

The redesign is the bomb! My favorite thing about it is the new smileys and user pages. I also love the new level icons.

It's all good, I don't know what to pick! Actually, the new and improved Flash portal. It's just so sexy!

!!! The front page has flash videos on it just like it used to! That rocks! You should put some of the original videos back up though. Those were my favorites.

Bell hop to American: "Would you like fresh sheets for your bed?"
American: "Thanks that would be great!"
Bell hop to Chinese: "Would you like fresh sheets for your bed?"
Chinese: "YOU SHEET IN MY BED I KILL YOU!"

Definitely. The Portal is now really modern (as if it wasn't already), and I love all the little icons above the Portal, Games, Toons etc. Reminded me of the icons above each Collection. And I love my new flick knife >:D

Congratulations!!! The one thing I was going to nag about has already been answered (the lagging of... pretty much everything :D), so I don't know what else to say!

I love the user pages, not just for the blog-style-thing, but because the fact that it makes the perfect substitute from the old User Profiles!, also the bytesize is really cool, i hope it continues growing with more shorts!
something i didn't liked... mh, maybe the macro-size of the site, now i have to scroll down one more time to watch the new submissions in the flash portal, but what, just lazyness :D ...
this feel like the future!

The new layout kicks ass, but I liked the old flash portal/audio portal/... pics more then these new ones. The new 1's are good for sure, though...

To be honest, I do love just about everything about the new system. The only thing I don't like is how I need to change my password to include letters and numbers in order to change my general settings. Please, change that. I feel my password is fine as is.

Also, I'm not sure if you've fixed this bug yet, but opening links from the submissions on this site doesn't work unless I view the submission in pop-up mode.

Otherwise, it's great. Keep up the awesome work!

Hell yeah.

The Staff Page is absolutely fucking amazing. The NG office plays way too much Street Fighter though. That's what this whole layout feels like.

As much as I like the redesign, there is one thing that irks the fuck out of me. Here's the message I got when I deposited just now:

Thanks for voting, GoryBlizzard! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 7,770 experience points. You need 8,090 more to get to Level 28. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 11 hours, 53 minutes, and 38 seconds.

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

In reality, I have 7,780 experience points (not 7,770) and of course, I don't need 8,090 more to advance to Level 28.

Please, fix this problem soon or I will have no choice but to rip my fucking hair off.

On a more positive note, I like the addition of the new user pages, and the absence of pop-ups.

God fucking damn it...

Well,I'll say that the new features are great,but for now I can't see my reviews,i hope this will going to be fixed!!!

I'll say that the only thing I didn't liked was the animations are now on the same window of the internet window,which I don't like because I'm doing other stuff while watching an animation sometime...but otherwise,this redesign is great!!!Finally the Audio Portal is now similar to the flash portal!!

Great job Tom!!

I love ya all!!

Tom, please put back the "Todays Top Games" and "Todays top movies" part in the games and movies section. The hot off the front page is pretty uneeded anyways. :/

Thanks for fixing the bugs Tom!

now I can post... maybe you shouldn't of fixed it.

My favorite part has to be the audio portal and each song. Love the design of it! I also like what you did with the user pages!
Not to suck any dick... but I really don't have a least favorite part. Maybe you guys could've done something more with the Newgrounds magazine.

*suck* no seriously though

I love most of the redesign... Right down to the Javascripts and background images.

As for what I hate... I hate the new forum images... I miss these old ones.

Lots of bugs still but I'm sure you guys will get them worked out soon enough. So favorite and least favorite, easy:

I'd say my favorite part of the new design are the levels. So tell me, is it true that the experience will be capped off at 30,000 or 36,000 points or whatever. I've been hearing rumors of this yet the FAQ suggests that the old sliding system will still be in effect once Pimp reaches 60.

Least favorite are the new b/p icons, the ranks up to commander and supreme commander are ok but in my opinion are not as good as the old ones. Commander and Supreme Commander are just lame, it's not even a rank, it's the NG tank and the NG tank with wings! It looks really lame ... in my opinion anyway.

But the site looks great and is running much faster than yesterday, great work guys I'm impressed.

Oh yeah, I miss the voting sound too. :/

Ok, Tom.

My favorite is everything here!
Its wonderful!

My least favorite is Disk Space on the PM Inbox.

Things I like:
-User pages
-Same page content adding
-New look and feel
-enhanced clarity and exposure of the flash portal

Bugs:
-Can't upload .swf to the portal with dimensions larger than 730x580...so apparently there is some auto size-detection (this might just be on editing current submissions, haven't tested it on submitting something new)
-It looks like there's no place on the portal page for "current daily feature" it shows review crew pick, past daily features, etc, but not current daily feature...also it looks like that info hasn't been updated with the week rollover

Plugs:
-Partially due to the thing mentioned above it looks like the game I submitted that won tuesday's daily feature didn't get the exposure I was hoping for:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/38 8323

-Just want to point out my Wiggi World example game as another one partially lost in the rockout rush (not added to the rockout collection yet):

FAVORITE parts of the redesign:

-User profile now looks like a mini-web page. Very cool. Especially the header option.
-Forum signatures are now STATIC images. Christ I hated the forums before simply because of all the flashing sigs that flooded the place. I hope this doesn't change.

Least Favorite:
-Pages can be very slow.
-If an image takes longer than 10-20 seconds to load it just gives up and doesn't load any image at all. Lots of refreshing required in the art forum.
-You have to exit the Flash you are viewing to vote on it unless you use the pop-up option. Nothing is quite as bad as getting into a great game only to realize you can only 5 it if you exit out. Makes it harder to vote before things pass judgement.

Hope to see some tweaks to the site! Just PLEASE leave the FORUM IMAGES as STATIC. I beg you.

I love the new design, the only part i dont like is the music that keeps looping on the front page (as cool as it is, it gets a bit anoying after a while because it keeps looping). Nice work tho

The look of it is really nice, I'm still not remembering where every link that I click is, but that'll change within the next 10 minutes...I dont like that i can't move the flash movie/games from the direct center of the screen, its an odd complaint, but thats the only one i have

I love the redesign, but a lot of things don't seem very FireFox-friendly. Also, the text fields are very slow, so I have to wait and let it catch up after I'm done typing something, but maybe that's just what I get for being such a nerd and being able to type over 100 words per minute.

Other than that, it looks amazing! My favorite part has to be the user pages.

I'm glad you still have the option to view submissions in a pop-up format.
