Finally I can see mark m cartoons HD!!!

I had mixed feelings about this because the "things you might also enjoy" side bar on my favorite movies are filled with stuff that I don't really like, but since you say that eventually it will have more proper things then I can dig the new layout

Nice job tom :)

I like it, but i liked how before you had to click *Play This Game* before it pops up. And the design is a little odd.

Epic. First youtube, now this. My life is gooooooood.

i don't like this new layout, maybe because i feel that the flash is on the wrong side?
instead of the flash being on the left side of the page try it on the right side, to me it feels like it should be on the righthand side because that's kind of the same layout as it was before.
plus with this new layout, some of the flashes aren't working properly, most noticably, play buttons, especially flashes that use AS2, the play(); funtion on buttons stop working

uh tom what with the box thats located near the user options (e.g. logout, inbox button

I don't care for it at all. It would be nice if there were at least an option to revert to the old format.

Not in the slightest.

You should read Tom's post hon:
'The "Related Content" info needs to re-populate with proper results. Until then you will see a lot of content that doesn't feel very related... The end result should be much better.'

I think having the author decide what is related is stupid. You would just end up plugging your own shit wether its related or not, and it would ruin the point of having collections and giving regular users the power to make associations. The whole idea behind things you might like, is that based on feedback from other users who've been searching viewing similar movies. We may as well not even have userpages if youre going to steer every entry page yourself.

I like clicking on things in the recommended area for the sake of watching something id enjoy that perhaps i wasnt familiar of. Hidden gems. Not movies i can find by going to your userpage.

I understand that it doesnt do what I am suggesting right this minute, but as Tom mentioned, its a WIP and its giving generic results right now while its in beta.

cool, i was waiting for something like this :D

I like Mexifry's idea but I'll take a wait and see approach on this and see what comes up when its out of beta

I'll still be pretty mad if it goes out of beta and all my movies link to video game parodies

awesome its A GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep clicking the related games when I'm playing by accident, and it keeps taking me away midgame >:(

Could you edit the design to make a popup that ASKS if you want to leave the game BEFORE you close it?

It still needs work, but I still think that the author should have some say in that. :/

I disagree, you have control over your userpage, you can specify your favorite movies, games, authors, music etc. Its yours.

The movie page is you at the mercy of the public, you are on a soapbox. Anyone can come in and leave their review/vote, they can decide the fate of your movie (blam/save), they should also have influence over where your movie fits in the context of the site. I've never noticed it being ABNORMALLY incorrect. You just gotta step back, trust the system and be comfortable with a world where not everything you interact with you are going to be in control of. :D

Is there a way to turn off auto-loading. If not: I don't like it.

I actually like this, but I do think that it looks a bit unorganized.

Overall though, it's a great idea!

Excellent!! Very comfortable.

i think its a neat idea but when i tried to go back on the back button i had to press it like 20 times

I think the author has a better idea what others may like than the automated system.

YEah man what gives, all those suggestions are way better.

Seriously, I don't see how this was necessary at all.

What was wrong with the original?

aww crap! this might be my computer, but i think the wide layout made newgrounds movies and games boring and crappy! NOTHING is the same! its like a plain white page with crap all over it!

Why fix what's not broken? Because you can make it better.

I like the new format better, however I find that certain flashes lag quite badly on start up. Auto-Play flashes and animated advertisements make for a laggy browser. Thank goodness for the 'night' (not sure what to call it) option.

I dont like this, I hope you put in an option to make it able to view the site as we did before, its not the same when the movie autoloads every time, i think the "watch this movie" function should still be able to be chosen too.

Nice work on the design though, I just think its unneccesary , if its working dont fix it?

What could possibly be more related than something made by the same person? Nothing is more frustrating than submitting something and getting thousands of views, while a previous part in the same series gets a handful of views and no reviews because there is no good way to cross promote your own movies. Casual viewers don't give a shit about userpages, they just want a quick and easy link.

Author info is further down the page than ever before, I think it would be nice to give authors a bit more control back by allowing them to decide what to showcase next to their movie. Your soapbox comments seem a bit weird as well, Authors should be proud to display their work on Newgrounds. This should be the site they're linking their friends to, that's the entire point of this update.

And no, we don't really have a lot of control of our userpage. Sliding your top 4 more recent submissions to the top is nice, but those may not be what you want to display all the time.

I'm a bit happy because authors can make movies in higher definition thanks to this new fullscreen feature. The larger screen and lights is perfect for inviting friends over for a flash movie marathon, and gives a new, more cinematic look to videos.

Try watching that vid, looks incredible :)

Looks like shit, you should have keep it the way it was, there wasn't anything wrong with it. :c

Also, Tom (Or NG Staff) don't be pussies, get rid of that adult content warning. Giving in to soccer moms that don't care enough to keep track of what their kids watch on the internet, is about the lowest of the low.

Isn't that what ratings are for?

I love this new layout....so superior to the old one!

Ummm, this might be a problem. Take a look at the scroll-bar. It doesn't let me go any further then the "related-submissions". No author comment, no reviews, no voting, no author data...nothing.

Okay, now it fixes just after I say whats wrong. That's the second time.....
