So far so good, maybe I can stop going to mmo-champ finally.
That's why I was having a ton of problems yesterday. Patch Day.
We've made tabs higher contrast, changed ratings on comments to be more subtle and un-colored until you rate them, and made other misc fixes.
I like the new frontpage. The old one looked nice and minimal, but this way everything about the site (news, the various drop-down menus, blue tweets, etc.) is immediately on your screen. I'm not fond of the new style. I don't hate it, and perhaps this doesn't sound like a big deal to some, but I find it disappointing that more and more sites, and now Wowhead too, drop what feels like their house style in favor of this modern layout in which basically everything is BIG and squared. Large font, large frames, large Facebook/Twitter/Youtube symbols (I know it's not Wowhead's fault, but God, I'd love to visit a site these days that doesn't shove social media in your face), large everything. I guess it's part necessity, due to the advent of mobile internet, but it really is kind of in-your-face on a normal desktop monitor.
I like it and I think it looks more like a web site than a google search engine. I think it has promise.
Obviously the old home page was far better. Clean and neat for data loverz. Traffic probably doesn't bring enough $ anymore.
The only thing that i dislike is the search bar. Its model is different from the drop down and my ocd is kicking in and freaking me out. I personaly liked the old button looks, being alot cleaner rather than bubbly but its whatever you guys wanna do with it. Please do somthing with that damn search bar!
I preferred the less is more feel on the old one :S, now it just looks like other websites.
Looks nice, love it. Keep up the good work Wowhead team.
We're also aware that quoteboxes on darker forum posts blend into the background, and will also be taking a look at that. We've also noticed that the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons when you go to edit a database comment slightly overlap with "Add Reply" and want to fix that.
DO. NOT. LIKE.This site was like Google -- front page that was nice and simple, loaded quick, what I want (search bar) was the center of focus. While this site did have the drop down menus (and the article ads that I really never clicked on but lived with anyway as I knew it was a way to drive traffic to other parts of your site) that made it a bit more complex than Google's homepage, its focus was still on the search. Now though.. it seems you are trying too hard to be a news site (which honestly, you aren't ever going to win me over from where I do go for that) and losing focus of what made you great.I hope enough others do like it, because I know how disappointing it is to work on something that ends up being scrapped, but I really think this was a horrible move.
change it back,for pete's sake!...the new layout was a bad move
I don't like change! It's new and scary!Overall the new layout is nice. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with the news better now. Oh, and who ever thought of having typing automatically showing and filling in the search box needs a promotion!
Unfortunately, I don't care for the front page look. I don't care for the 'social media' aspect that seems to have taken hold. I preferred having the entrance screen being clean and clutter-free, not bogged down with news and updates from all sites and sources - digressing from the reason I came here in the first place.I'd welcome a separate area for this kind of stuff that people can set as a bookmark, or vice-versa, but I can't seem to find something that actually minimalistic. I won't go all "when I went to Thottbot/WoWHead" on everyone. Just pointless.Please make a site akin to the original home-screen for WoWHead. Just a simple source page for quick searches, then I promise I'll stop ranting about the social media nonsense.
I like it !
Excellent page guys .Wowhead really needed this . My browser is set to go straight to the general forum at the moment because the old home page offered nothing . I will now change it to go to the homepage
Really don't like the grey tones of the new layout. Maybe it's just me. The old one seemed more "black," though. This new layout is much more in-your-face than the old one.
Sweet look, though I liked the previous one. Keep up the good job guys!
