There's only one thing I'm upset about: the "Random Page" button is gone! GONE! ;_;
i REALLY dont like this, it just doesnt look right.
I loved the clean front page. Now it's ridiculously busy and hard to find anything on. Please simplify! The clean layout it had previously was nowhere near as visually crazy -- now the site just assaults with a million things to look at.
I like the layout overall but there are some issues that I have:- The red color scheme for some buttons (Ex. Text formatting buttons). It just seems off.- The ad banner squishes the site. Only when you collapse the ad does the site stretch to full width.- Guides and formatting seems to have messed up. Different sections no longer seem as separated and seem to jumbled together. Maybe it is just me.
I love it! Great work!
This is like google trying to be more like Yahoo! and who would think that a good idea?
Crated an account just to say,After nearly ten years (10), almost a decade of having WoWhead.com as my sole homepage on 4 PC's and recently one laptop, I am saddened to say I will have to find a new homepage.It is like losing a long-time friend who changes everything about themselves that was great and wonderful and made them unique simply so they can be accepted into the coolkidsclub. And you sit back and watch as they throw away everything and become something almost unrecognizable and all you can do is simply walk away in silent protest as your words fall upon deaf ears.No one comes here for outdated, slow, not up-to-the-minute Blizzard news feeds. There is a much faster, better website for that called MMO-Champion. You will not replace them ever. ZAM taking on the Curse family is the stupidest idea I have ever seen.And to accomplish this, you have polarized the fans and users who have been coming here for a near decade and made this site what it truly is: A Blizzard Family of Games Database.The new front page is hideous, even from a design perspective. Your designer has made the bad trend of frontloading the Home page with just way too much information. So much so that you have detracted from making users want to explore the website for more. You WANT users to surf through the website. It is the golden rule of webdesign and I am cringing so much right now as a webdesigner.The second part of the bad front page is that you have massively slowed down load times. The second rule of webdesign is get the user to explore the site as quickly as possible. The more they move around the site, the more the ding those pages with advertisements on them, which means more money generated. Third, your designer has tried to rip-off Battlenet by stealing its color scheme. I know you, WoWhead, want to be more, but that is pretty low in the design world. You simply do not steal others color schemes and call it new. You just don't.All in all, this was I think my first ever post on this website, and for it to be my first ever complaint and my good-bye speech should say a lot. And if it doesn't? Oh well, at least my opinion was read.PS: Get rid of the "Live preview". Nothing more frustrating than to have a slow updating preview make it so you have to go back several times while typing to correct mistakes the system caused because it is slow updating. Guess that is the new word of the day for WoWhead: Slow as *&^%. Hey, feel free to use that in the titlepage generator.
BUG REPORT: The database has left the building: http://www.bildites.lv/images/e8ee16qqzx1tgfv26nwx.pngThis happens on Opera 12.17 most of the time (but not always). The tools drop down also mostly aligns it's right side with "Tools" arrow instead of aligning it's left with tools' left side. This doesn't cause such consequences tho.But what I wanted to point out - is the "Classes" drop down really necessary? The same can be found in the database drop down...You should also consider adding chance to upvote and downvote comments here. You'd see how much we want the good front page instead of the thing we have now.
I have to say I'm in the "dislike" group on this one. I come to WoWhead to look things up and the search bar has been shoved up in the corner like it's a secondary function. Though the "News" is apparently the new focus, it gets away from the whole point of why I come to WoWhead. I have a dozen other sources for WoW news, but only one for database searching. It's getting too broad and unfocused.
It didn't seem to be working yesterday, but now it's a lot cleaner and nicer. Good job.
i really feel like it looked cleaner before, at least the start page looked better before.
I love this new layout. It helps organize the front page better than a search bar and a small box of highlights.
Very nice ! Love the font, very readable (if that's a word :)).
I like it overall. Front page deserved some love.There are 2 things I really DON'T like though:1. On a page, the old version was much easier to sift through and read comments.2. The bright red "Reply" button under each comment on an item's page is quite distracting.
I liked the old minimalist design. It loaded faster.
Look good but I still prefer old main page. You could add a link for some players to see this new main page maybe.Still, new design looks good.
Is there a random page feature?
how can i turn the new layout off?or is there a link to the "old" landing page for bookmarking?
