Topic: Which design do you prefer?

Yea, we needed another thread for this, even a poll big_smile Let me have it, I wanna know what most of the people around here think before I implement the new design (cause it's a lot of work).

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

current one, why fix something which isn't broken

Re: Which design do you prefer?

Re: Which design do you prefer?

It's hard to tell cos the watchlists are broken at the mo', but I'm kind of inbetween at the moment.  I like some of the changes, but don't like others.  hmm

I for one like the thumbnails (not that I can see any at the moment), but I hate all the white across my screen.

So to sum up...  I don't know.

Re: Which design do you prefer?

There will be an option to turn off thumbnails on the homepage, sure

Re: Which design do you prefer?

Both are ok, but if you decide to change the layoout - imho, the old logo needs to go. The two just don't stick (as much as I love its simplicity).

Re: Which design do you prefer?

What's the difference?
a little bit wider, without the blue background behind the site's content area and... no footer?
If it'll have a little more attention, I'd be happy to this change, but I don't think that it's there yet ;P

old good, new better

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I dunno. I like the features of the new one, but without the blue sides as bg and without the episode title feature (please implement it - it can't be so hard) I would stick to the old one tongue

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I personally prefer the current dark background, but I do like the new layout, just the colour scheme needs fiddling, good choice of fonts btw. Would it cause harm to make the side columns (watchlist/polls) slightly wider? They look slightly out of proportion with lights colours...
Also can we have either more recent forum posts in the list, or an option to specify how many are listed?

yikes

The new one does look good, but I would miss the blue sides as well.

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I like the new design, but with any change in website design people are going to dis ike aspects of it, but i think the overall design is great...

Personally, the blue down the sides is a little too attention drawing to me, as right now my eyes are drawn to the sidebars not the actual content...

But it should be simple enough to implement a theme system , a "light" and "classic" background image, easily implemented with css these days, not that i ever worked it out for my sites...

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I like the new one, as long as there is an option for the middle area to NOT have the thumbnail pictures. To me, they just make it harder to do a quick review of the list, and clutter it up so it takes more screen pages to see it all.

It would help if there was an option similar to the old one to make your watchlist items bolder so they stand out from the whole list.

I guess I would miss the blue sides as well  smile

Re: Which design do you prefer?

What's up with the double listing of almost any episode today (old and new design)?

Re: Which design do you prefer?

New one with images is impressive but with all the shows that are on it takes 6 page downs to get through it

Old one is easier to read and see what Episode's Next

which is the point of the site

So old one. Not against a face lift but keep it functional

22

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I like the new font better, but miss the ability to see which shows are on my watchlist in bold.  I don't mind the thumbnails so much, but maybe they could pop up (did they do that before) when you hover over the show name?
Definitely want to see my watch list shows stand out.  I don't always remember what I'm watching <grin>

Re: Which design do you prefer?

I never liked change in a website design. I am OK with it however IF there is an OPTION to show the old design.

Perhaps offer several OPTIONAL designs from settings for us to choose from? One similar to the new one but streamlined like the old, with a + or > or similar to expand perhaps?

Re: Which design do you prefer?

My brain cells cant handle big changes wink

New additional features are always welcomed but layout/design changes where you like and got used to the current one, is always not such a great idea, unless the changes are necessary or make a drastic improvement over the old one.
