New look.

[Psionicist]

It's human nature for people to resist change and prefer what they are accustomed to. I'd give it about two weeks, and everybody will then be comfortable with the new look. Personally, I'll take this version of ENWorld over the one that was available yesterday.

But then, yesterday ENW was closed for the public.

Ah, so you agree with me then!

True, but some of the older ways things worked were actually better in some ways. Although it looks like poster info is on the side again, I do miss my Stealth mode. I may not spend nearly as much time on ENWorld at work as I used to.

Although maybe that's really a good thing...

I don't know really. I think yesterdays version at least had style unlike this one.

And what the hell happened to the logo?

I'm liking it so far. Like JD, I miss the Stealth mode, but I appreciate all of the hard work that MM put into it.

One noticable difference is that we seem to have lost the ability to find out what the first post of a thread is by scrolling over the thread title. At least, it isn't working for me. Too bad, I really liked that feature.

Question - if the boards are working, why does going to the homepage I've got bookmarked take me to a page marked "Boards closed until Sunday evening"? And it's not cached, either.

As an aside, I'm going to have to get used to this new style board...

Stealth mode is one of the two you have to choose from. Do you mean you don't like the new stealth mode?

No, that works just fine for me. It's definitely turned on.*

(*Not in an inappropriate touching sort of way, mind you. But it's on nevertheless.)

I really like the new look and I'm amazed at how quickly it was done! You people rock!

My only complaint, if you could really call it that, as I’m not trying to complain, is that it's so hard to tell who is online and who isn't based upon the colored "button" of their posts. The dark gray and light gray is hard for my poor eyes to digest.

I have the same problem with the thread icons that indicate whether or not a thread has been viewed. Perhaps Michael can darken/lighten these to make the contrast a little more obvious.

Note, by the way, that the previous (and justified) concerns about clutter were largely addressed when Morrus set the avatars and member info against the left side of the screen again.
