"Visual Refresh"- What Do You Think?

Wcg_thumb_poll_medium
Since we've all had a few days now to get used to the new look that SBN provided us with, we're curious what you think about it.  Love it?  Hate it?  Don't care?  Let us know.  If any of you have any complaints or experience complications, we want to hear that too.  User-feedback is the best way to make these blogs better, so feel free to speak your mind!

Bring back the navy blue wall paper. all this white shit is making my eyes hurt.

I am an IT person

I find these polls interesting…

I saw a study once where the researchers polled people about the changes to a website… and 40 percent said they liked the old look better, while 20 percent liked the new look better.

The kicker was, they didn’t change ANYTHING on the website…. rather, they were just measuring reaction to change.

Personally, I hadn’t noticed it. I come here to read about my Bears, not look at the website… I personally don’t care as long as we keep getting excellent CONTENT.

My recomendation is

To have the “Recent Posts” that you fine folks at WCG put up have the comment and new comment counters on them if it is at all possible…

Otherwise “Good Jorb, Yaaaaaaaaaahhh, +1, & Wrecked” and any of the other staples that I have forgotten off the top of my head.

change?

I haven’t noticed much of a change. Perhaps the side sections aren’t as prominently sectioned off? I know something is different, but . . .

It looks like a blockier design to me.

It’s very Meh to me. It’s not like things are laid out differently, they just look a little different.

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.

Wasn't big on the typeface changes

to the headers at first, but now it doesn’t bother me. I do really like the icons for the story genres, although you’ve been using them for a while now so I don’t know if that counts towards the revamp.

This one has been a point of contention

behind the scenes. This may change.

Have they already

changed a bit from the original refresh? They seem to be bolder now or something, or am I just getting used to them.

The only thing I hate

is the big blue block of nothing at the top of the page.

I think that's where the advertisements are.

My work computer doesn’t show them so it’s just a blue block, but at home there is usually some form or advertisement there.

As soon as I posted this

low and behold the ads starting showing up. Now the world is back to normal.

People who don’t care don’t respond, and people who do care do respond. Does that make sense Bronco fans trying to validate the trade?

suggestion

make it so you can just copy & paste pics

How?

This is the internet, not MSWord. The photos have to be stored (linked) somewhere. I guess it’s just me, but I just don’t think it’s that difficult to post pics.

Student: Professor Ditkavsworld, can you explain again the purpose of searching google for photos of big guys in Wal-Mart dressed like a flanneled out version of Christina Aguilera?

lol

Professor Ditkavsworld: That’s a great question. You see google is a picture fantasy land. If your mind can think it, google can find it. Now as to why the Wal-Mart picture it speaks to the ability of one store to enhance the chameleon effect, whereas a man can pose as a woman and it is completely acceptable.
