    yeah same, doesnt look very new.
  • VrikaVrika Member LegendaryPosts: 7,973
    @erinys @avvkhan This is the old website. They encountered some problems with the new site, so they reverted the changes and delayed launch.

    @MikeB Maybe you should edit the OP because it looks like people are confused

    Huge empty bar at the top of the web site for me, taking up about 20% of the page space.  Also, OH GOD MY EYES, it's bright.  Is there a dark theme?

    The circle on the top left that's half white and half black.

    Not going to lie, the new design is quite terrible for usability at the moment.

    You can't see the full titles of the featured items meaning the only way to find out what they actually are is to click every single one of them or mouse over them all and I doubt everyone will do that all the time.

    The banner images for the main feed are too big. I get you want to highlight certain posts but they are annoyingly large, not noticeably large. Personally, I would stop using the bigger images altogether and find a better way of highlighting certain articles. They just make it ugly, look less organized and seem less cohesive.

    Latest community column is too thin for the amount of text and results in big blocks of multicoloured text that are hard to read. Needs less 'Posted by... in...' in the current format and the thread title needs to be a different colour. The latest community posts element needs to be at the top as well like it was before. I know that I personally used it all the time, having to scroll each time I feel like refreshing is redundant. It's the most dynamic and active thing on the landing page and should be one of the main features.

    The reviews don't even say what has been reviewed in the title or anywhere noticeable, that's a massive problem. The review posts would be much better if they were like this:

    Pokemon Go Review
    The biggest MMO in the world
    Pokémon Go is now officially the United States’ biggest game in the history of mobile gaming. It’s very nearly poised to pass Snapchat, too which is one of the biggest apps in history period.

    You also need to make sure the preview text finishes in a sensical (yes, I know that's not an official word) way. Either on a full sentence or at least put some '...' at the end of the auto generator like you have for news items on the index page. Right now it just ends abruptly, it looks unprofessional.

    There's lots of technical and alignment problems all over the place as well (in Chrome at least) but I'm sure you're aware of that already and will work out the kinks over time.

    I've done a lot of web and graphic design so I'm just giving my opinion about things. Hopefully it's helpful rather than coming across as annoying and overly critical.

    Yep, all of this is known and being fixed. Once keys get turned over to @skywisenight for the codebase he'll have his hands full.

    Firstly selecting the black theme does not seem to be persistent, it has to be reselected each session.

    Secondly the whole format is not displaying correctly on my Kindle Fire. It seems not to be detecting the width of the screen correctly.

    After some investigation I found the site - via a link. The address mmorpg.com still takes you (me at least) to the "Upgrade Underway" banner page. The link to homepage just takes you to upgrade underway page as well. 
  • jesteralwaysjesteralways Member RarePosts: 2,560
    Is the site live? I only get upgrade underway page when i click on mmorpg icon or use www.mmorpg.com

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    We have this fixed (theme) internally and we'll be pushing it live within the next 24 hours.

    Is it possible to post a screen cap of the second issue?

    IS the new site actually launched? Other than the forums I get the old site for the front page.

    Where's the mark all as read button?

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
