Sooo how is everyone liking the new ENWorld?

Starting to really get turned off by the front page...

There just simply isn't enough context info. There aren't any date references, no clear indications which website/companies the links are tied to. It may be quicker, but it is not in the least attractive. A website should be FUN, and the new front page is definitely not fun.

OK, now we are beginning to cook a bit---definitely enjoying the added info with the links on the current front page (9/23/08)

I really think EN World should switch back to their old website format. It was very easy to see what was new for the day, and you got a quick little preview of the text. (And in some cases, a short paragraph was all that was needed).

The second last change with all the windows took a little getting used to -- I downloaded Firefox and it worked great. Sadly, 80% of the people using the Internet are using IE... so I'm guessing that is why the "windowed" page was scrapped.

The new page now looks very amateurish. Perhaps it was just meant to be "simple" but now it looks so simple that it gives the appearance to be designed by a novice. It doesn't convey much info at a glance and it just looks bad.

Please, please, please switch back to your old format (the one that you were using prior to the "windowed" look.)

I really like how the addresses are now the actually forum titles. Combined with the newer browers uni-bar function it makes it a lot easier to just type and go.

So thanks!

And now paragraphs of info explaining the links!!! Sweet!!! Getting back to some of the old front page ---upfrontlotofinfo angle!!!

Except for a couple of new shiny buttons, I really hadn't noticed much of a change.

Um, I actually prefer the old site, all in all. Don't kill me or nuffin' - I's only a poor gobbo!

I do honestly appreciate all the time and hard work that went into the changes, and some of the additional features are great. . .

It's just an [overall, pretty] insignificant, aesthetic preference for the way it was. I thought it was much prettier and well, a fair dash quicker too. And the front page was 100% better. Like I said, nothin' personal O wise and mighty staff and co. I even gave what I could to Mr. Morris, so's he hopefully wouldn't go falling apart.

Stealth, yeah - useful. The PHB skin was nice, too. Or was I the only fool liking that colour scheme?

But hey, if the changes were necessary, then what're a few appearance and speed niggles anyway. Feh.

Friday's front page was as just about the best I have seen in the past several months. Snazzy pic of Draconomicon, good info on links, nice all around. If this is going to be the new level----then I am plenty happy with it.
