I absolultely love this set up and how everything is so new and shiny...well I have found some problems that I am sure are being catored to but should be brought foward.

Cult member # still doesnt update

Everyone can go into investors forum

Well for some reason I thought I had more things wrong...but post yours here

I do like the addition of the inbox and how cults is under myNS

Good work.
 
I love it too but, since the home page info in more dense it leaves a lot of blank space below which just goes on because of the number of people online. An expand (+) and subtract(-) button for friends, messages, and online would be dam nice.
 
The search bar is.. interesting. I'm sure it works alright.. but the thread titles that you're looking for aren't there. Could cause problems.
 
I was really looking forward to some thread tags to find them more efficient. I know this sounds demanding but its just constructive criticisms.
 
Hah yeah we actually need to get google to re-index the site... you'll notice in the top of your browser now that the thread title is at the top. This wasn't the way it was before, so you could barely find newschoolers in google.

So after a couple of weeks, they'll have re-indexed the site and the search will work a lot better! As someone said though, the old search bar is still there under "advanced search"

Also remember that this is only the first in a round of upgrades... we'll be changing, adding, tweaking and fixing all the way up to winter, so please share your opinions!

 
Haha I just found Spam Buster 8000!!! Keeps your from posting multiple times in news/videos etc.

I've seen some spelling mistakes (no biggy, they'll be fixed)

I too find that the # of members in the cult not being updated kind of annoying

The whole left colum might take some time to get used to (but its good)

And the 2 different ways you can get to the cults which also puts them in 2 different orders is kind of weird.

Other then that, 9/10 like I've said before.

Good job to the guys at NS
 
Read the thread-- he just said it's being repaired as we speak. Plus the old one is still there. READ, CHILD.
 
Yes, i know. I read it. I'm just eager to have it fixed. I don't feel like having to click on advanded search and open up another page to search threads the normal way.
 
i like it too. but... the only thing ive noticed so far is that i cant rate ppl in the forums anymore. im on a mac with safari, and when i mouse over their karma, a box appears, but its the one with a blue ? in it. and i dont like the new search.
 
Yeah. I don't want to sound harsh or aynthing, but this is what I'm sort of thinking. I do really appreciate everything the NS staff is doing, its sooo sick. But I just don't think changing the layout and backgrounds is completely necessary sometimes. Change is not always good.

I wish the site was a bit faster. Hell, as I type right now my text is lagging behind. I don't like the quick links on the left side and the ads on the right side right next to the forum. I think it made the forums skinnier/smaller...not sure though. I'm not saying these changes didn't bring any upgrades, but I just wish the effort that went into changing the appearance of the site went into enhancing the speed, functionality and efficiency.

Sorry for my rude rant. Great job with everything NS, seriously
 
haha they removed his post, but sadley i feel the same, it is awsome they are doing stuff to the site, but it seem kind of posintless to be blunt. there is just not much reason to change it.
 
I'm gonna be deleting posts where people don't take the time to read the rest of the thread and instead post the same problem/bug mutliple times in a thread.

Common guys, take 2 seconds to check if someone is having the same issues as you are.
 
my thoughts:

customizeable quicklinks would be sick for sure. i also dont like them on the left.. but thats just me.

the search bar sucks it big time. end of story.

everything else is good so far though

 
its not working for me either, im using firefox 3 on vista

also the google search doesn't fit on my window properly.. also the font size for the google search page seems a bit too large compared to the rest of the site?

 
i have the same problem as the other person, cant do karma on safari. and im liking the new layout but its running rather slow... will this change?
 
use the searchbar noob!

ha just messing but really the advanced search is just like the old searchbar.
 
I would really really really really love a searchbar in Cults. Like Ladies Men, for example..I think it would be extremely helpful.
 
I liked the new news on the front page with the 1-10 in order of new-ness. now if there is something new, I won't know unless I click on that category
 
really like the layout looks ill.

whole site is so much easier and nicer to use.

just the news section is messed now. The way it was before was soo much better.
 
In inbox, I think incoming and outgoing messages should have a different background row color. The To: is a bit confusing but should stay. It would just make it easier to read.
 
I loce it, I'm not liking the quick links thing on the left side, now there is too much going on on the left side
 
I got all excited and went to see whether I could get into the investors forum or not...but I couldn't. That must've been the first thing they changed, hahahaha
 
Jason has like 600 orders he has to go through and manually add the investor symbol to... so it may be a little while.. he's a busy guy.
