Howdy all. We've been bringing in small batches of folks over the past week to check out our upcoming redesign. Based on their feedback we've made a number of changes and are getting close to what we think is a good final product, but we would like more feedback!
The main purpose of the redesign is to combine all releases/dlcs/expansions of a game into a single product. While doing so, we took the time to make some improvements to some site sections, in particular to guides and the message boards, while also attempting to make each section more uniform instead of feeling like completely isolated experiences (like the current Answers product vs the Boards). We're looking both for feedback on the redesign AND for people to report any bugs or problems they come across while using it. If you are willing to take a look and provide feedback, post here and let me know (and make it clear you're interested in the beta and not just commenting). I'll bring in some people for a bit and then make a post that I'm stopping accepting new people in. Depending on how many we get this morning, I might come back later for more. Thanks in advance! --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also, can we finally have private messages use the same profanity rules as the public boards? Always found it funny I can say fuck here or on a game board but can't use it in a sentence when PM'ing a friend. --- 4/15/1951 - 3/18/2014 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honest opinion, I'm not a fan of the boxes... maybe it takes up less space on mobile or something, but on desktop, it just looks like chunk after chunk, whereas the boards right now have a straight flow to them without a gap between posts.

We're taking it into consideration but not quite sure what we plan to do about it yet. For those whom it's a dealbreaker for we do provide the current site style as an alternative, though we do hope that by launch users are more satisfied with the new look as well. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs ...

OMG I got in
They arent turning it to reddit or twitter so you dont have to worry about that. I think its good. I like the overall idea of merging games and I see why you would want to modernize the sites look. The one major thing I would say is there isnt enough distinction/border between posts like there is now which I dont like. Also plz give us the option to use the old site. --- I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Any hope for unified profanity behavior between private messages and boards?

Most of my other quick thoughts have already been posted on the test forum by other users.
I primarily use mobile, and everything feels larger and less defined. It seems that it is being streamlined as much as possible, which can be a good thing for new users, but has some draw backs. For the purposes of game description/discussion posts can get quite large and the new formatting is reminiscent of run of the mill comment sections and seems a bit cluttered/unorganized. I will have to play with it more and see what all I can customize. I cant seem to digest information as quickly as I can with the current formatting. --- ........the ghost in the machine...
