[steadysignal]

well done, macrumors. looks great.

Using Blue in the banners on the front page is really hard to see, please find another color that is easier to read!

 

[mac.rumors]

Love it!

 

[HiVolt]

Its lame. It's too narrow on a 30" screen.

iPad love

New design looks great on my iPad2 - However, the left margin is a bit bigger than the right one? Sorry, I'm a designer, its my job to notice these kinda things waddayougonnado!

I dig it, but why so constrained? Just a little wider please, maybe 20% more.

did you switch over to fluid width?(see article) should make it a little wider

 

[GreenFreaK]

voting pls!

I agree the site looks great! good balance of colors and text sizes. However, can you please bring back the voting options?

I am in agreeance with the few people that posted earlier that said that's the first thing they look at when checking to see if an article's worth reading or not.

Plus it's an interesting way to quickly view people's thoughts, without reading every comment or follow up.

And I agree with the person who said taking away voting is like taking away 'Likes' on Facebook.

There is a very severe bug. The page doesn't adapt to the width of the browser window anymore. So if the window isn't wide enough, I can't see everything (scrollbars at the bottom, but that is a pain), and when the window is wide it is just wasted with lots of empty space on both sides.

Have you set the page from 'fixed' to 'fluid'?

I hates change but i likes this!

Voting was an inane feature. I'm sad to see the post up and down made it in the redesign.

I'm curious to why it was so bad? Though I rarely voted on anything, it was definitely insightful.

This page has 42 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.

[igorleandro]

[takao]

well i have to say i like it ! looks more up to date but not pushing it too far like gawker
and also speedier

anybody remember when the color scheme for the forum changed the last time ? compared to that heated debate it looks like the big majority likes the new one

come on folks read the article, you can select fluid or fixed width. Fluid will adjust to larger screen sizes.

 

[BryanLyle]

But I wanted two sections that scrolled independently of each other.

J/K.

Site looks sweet!

 

[Kyzelios]

Wow, the new design looks great! It keeps the site's identity while making it look a bit more modern. Good job!

 

[World Citizen]

fixed my cashes...

 

[Oz.]

The site looks great but here is too much space above and under the logo.

 

[Hellhammer]

Looking good!

 

[toddybody]

Seems the pages have a yellow tint and wicked light bleed on lower left.

Turn the brightness down

Anyhoo...the site def looks more modern and clean...it just feels weird.

 

[Lotso]

It looks good to me. However I will miss the Mac Bytes. Are those stories going to be put in the Mac Blog and iOS Blog pages now? You havent updated Mac Bytes in quite a while.

 

[FroMann]

Looks nice!

 

[babybanana]

Very nice. I'm liking the new design very much.
