If you haven't already, please read my introduction to the NG redesign!
The new NG has been on-line for 16 hours so far and a lot has happened. We've already fixed numerous problems that lead to bad performance, but we're not out of the woods yet.
You are most likely noticing plenty of lag as the pages load, as well as images and other files simply not loading. This is not because the new NG is too bulky - it is the result of remaining server bugs. I can assure everyone the new layout is MUCH more lightweight in terms of download size and total images, so once everything is being served out properly, pages should load faster than ever.
We're making note of the issues. We'll be looking into the laggy post form, white screens for banned forum users, visited Portal link colors, AP page numbers and a ton of other little odds and ends.
A lot of great Flash submissions may have been overlooked as a result of the chaos this week. Now would be a good time to post about some of the submissions you've stumbled across this week, so they can have a second chance to get some exposure!
Also, now that everyone has had a chance to look around, tell us what your FAVORITE part of the redesign is. And as much as I hate to invite bad news, tell us what your LEAST FAVORITE part is, too... Unless you just LOVE IT ALL, which is fine by me. :)
