Layout improvements at AfterDawn.com

Ok yeah it looks good, but if I wanted google search I'd go to google. I'm here to search and interact in the forums. My advanced forum search on backing up the latest movie gave me over 100 results about cell phones. This is not the same place that hooked me and kept me coming back for years.

 

What happened I was gone for a week.

What retard came up with this idea??

Don't fix what aint Brokin!!

I really dont care about the looks but this search engine is Trash its got to go I cant find anything, Your killing me.

It's hard anuf finding everything cause there is so many Posts and so much info.

Do you no How many more of the same questions are going to be asked because people cant find what there looking for.

Who ever came up with this idea needs to be fired.
PLEASE change the search
back before you Kill AFTERDAWN.

it took me 5min to find the big orange forum buton on gamepolitics.com after he had to switch back to the LJ format untill he can overhaul stuff.

I can stand change altho strange overhauls are to much.

 

i dont mind the change too much. the only thing that i didnt like too much was that everything all bubbly like myspace.

 

they still need to put a quote button on the forums. other than that it looks basically the same, other than the tabs at the top are a lot bigger now. it still looks good tho.

 

The top bar where it has "My Account, Mobile/PDA, About Us, Advertise here" looks like it's an ad. It's the right font size to be an AdSense ad and the last item says advert as well.

Also, the user info being joing to the top bar makes it look unpleasant.

Again about the top bar, I think that the "AfterDawn.com | AfterDawn.com Forums | Filepedia.com | MP3Lizard.com | DVD X Copy Forums | Blasteroids.com | Advertise on our sites" links would fit there perfectly.

 

I should mention that the search has become better.
I, before the change, was actualy thinking of a google powered search engine on AD, you guys did a great job on the search, and I take back what I said in previouse posts and agree that the new look is good, but could be worked on and the tabs should be downsized a little, either that or we can try the idea where you can toggle between the old layout and new layout, like you do with the profile page colour schemes, only it will be layout schemes, if that makes sense at all.

 

I dislike the new search very much, the only thing i'm thankful for about the search is that you can use the old version, THANK GOD

 

What I like about the search is having the option. I like the fact that I still use the old one to search through different threads. and i just use normal google page to search for the different software or guides that are not posted in aD.

 

i liked th old design, looked very smart & more orginized .

I dont like the idea of AD site taking 100% of my screen.

 

Is it me or do the tabs look smaller now? If so that's a good improvement.

 

the tabs are actually a lot bigger. maybe you held down ctrl while scrolling.

 

No I dont me the old desighn were there wasent really tabs at all. Before when they had the new desighn the tabs looked bigger but now today the look smaller then the new old desighn. Hopefully you know what I mean...

 

honestly the only thing i would change is i would put the "my account" bar below the search bar.

 

Nah it's fine there in the corner. Maby the little bit of black up high should be changed to the backround say blue? Just my thoughts.

 

I second face123's recommendation about the black at the top.

 

I'am sure it's not only problem you have with that shi**y Filterset.G, it's not even updated last 3 months.
Hint: EasyList is much better.
If that one has problem filters, you can disable any specific filter. (but only if you use Adblock Plus 0.7.x)
