My redesign thoughts...........detailed!

Posted by Sterockicy - July 19th, 2007


Ok, I have had the time to adjust and fully understand how to 'work' the new NG. It took a while to understand all of the stuff I had become used to and had now changed but I have.

The overall look of NG is quite impressive. The colours are great (I love orange) and they have added some more detailto give it more of a 'glossy' effect now. I love the way everything stands out in FULL ON colour and I really like the far background for those with wide screens.

A new feature I like is the fact that you can control who leaves messages on your profile and what you have on your profile. The News post is a great feature and I hope to use it a lot more. I am scared to put this on the front page though!

I have noticed that it takes a while longer to load at the moment but I am sure Tom and the gang are working on the speed as they are always thinking about us!

The FAQ is great, I love the way it scrolls down to the bit you want and its fairly detailed as it was previously.

Another great feature is the way the submissions in the portal open. THAT IS COOL!

I think the level icons are also brilliant. The pictures and background effects each level has are beautiful and really make me WANT to level up.

This list could go on forever but I will stop now, I will say though that I have probably missed 1000 things I love at the moment in this post but thats what makes NG soo great. There is so much good, you cant name it all.

Now I will move onto things I dont like.

Firstly I was a little dissappointed that there wasnt any change in a few things I had hoped.

1- Blam/Protect levels - Still the same levels and points needed.
2- Whistle levels - No new levels
3- Secrets - Why aren't there any more? They said there would be didn't they?
4- As far as I know there is still no bit that tells you your TOTAL b/p points.
5- Its too hard to view peoples profiles
6- The UJ submissions pass/get deleted too quickly with the new VP's.
7- The UJ submission text is a bad colour, you cant see a change in colour when you have clicked on the link. Therefore it is hard to tell what you have voted on and what you haven't.
8- They didn't add some of the things I suggested :(

I really hoped that there would be a few more things NG would provide me with.

Overall thought I am really REALLY happy with the way NG and I am going to love surfing the net on this site for another 10 years (hopefully)

Thanks to everyone involved in making the redesign happen. It was a great success in my books!

I would have liked to see a handful of new B/P levels...probably with the final level being at 100k, with a 100% VP bonus.

Alas, maybe in the future. :'(

100k bonus is a bit too much though. I mean it would only take one person to save/blam a flash! I think maybe you should recieve some honourary trophy or something special from the NG crew.

I am pretty dissappointed that there are no new secrets!

well seeing as you dont like the whole no new secrets thing(i had no other idea as how to say that at 3AM ) what kinda things do you wish/think should/REALLY ant on the secrets page?
