Seriously

i have no fucking idea how anyone can look at the redesign and think yeah, thats it. Thats better

Me neither

Oh god what the hell!? Guess im never leaving CE again...thats fucking horrendous, unintuitive, and unorganized

---

That feeling when you purposefully try to kill a site.

---

Like I understand the logic behind the new topic list style but at least incorporate an alternating color scheme to make individual topics on the list stand out

LIke:



looks so much better than



Because the second one is a vomit speal of green text with no differentiation

So... who's bright idea was this? Game boards are a full on mess right now.

---

they also buried the upcoming games list behind another menu.

---

I think the only thing I like about this change is you can now show all platforms on the topic list and filter.

That's the only thing I like.

Classic still looks like ass. Whoever they hired to redesign this garbage should never be allowed to touch a website again.

---

So you can't choose what page to go to. And you have to scroll to the top to go back to a topic list track it, or even go to the last page. WTF?

---

its like they thought "hmm, everyhting looks perfectly fine...HOW ABOTU WE FUCK IT UP TO HELL AND BACK"

---

It's horrible, jeez.

"Here's a new style with fewer options that just looks like an uglier version of the old one. Have fun!"

User friendly design? NOT SLEEK ENOUGH. MUST. MODERNIZE.

With classic style, I really just hate that you cant navigate back to the board from the bottom of the thread, and user highlighting is broken

---

Yea what the fuck was that I got lost trying to navigate back to CE.


---

Christ I hope they change it back. This is how you kill the site for good

---

Was this designed by blind people? @SBAllen

There is a back button but it only shows up if the topic has more than 1 page. lol

Where's that damn CJayC quote about never ripping the soul out of GameFAQs when you need it?

It feels like two separate board systems now lol.

Oh well. I've suffered every change up until now, what's one more? :-P

---

Can i mark the new layout as offensive?

Thank you.

display style classic helps a bit

No "names on left" tho.

Everything looks fine here

---

what the fuck

Well he should never ever be allowed to touch a website ever again.

---

Can we sticky this topic please?

FUCK this is horrendous

---

modern is absolute garbage and everything looks like the shitty comments sections shit like news sites and whatnot have.

---

I guess the new interface is much worse on phones than it is computers. The logo says "Beta" but I don't really notice any difference on my GPD Win 3.

On my phone it was drastically different, though.

---

This feels like a don't fix what's broke kind of thing. Seriously why is the default set up for desktop look like it's meant for phone? Hell Gamefaqs was fine on mobile so there was no need to make it more Mobile friendly. Least I can fix it to look more like this board but it's just so unnecessary and ineffective to have Column two on by default versus Column One. Hell I have a wide screen computer and understood the original design doesn't take up the entire page due to old computer monitors of the past. This new version taking less space by default is ridiculous.

Modern looks hideous and way to plain and boring. And those little boxes for tags and what console each topic is on needs a different design for both. Even having some shaded background to make them stick out more could fix that. The old highlighted look was great and catches the eye which is why I tag people in the first place to know what they generally do before I consider posting or to realize if I'm reading a troll post or not. Now that's going to be easy to overlook. Thanks, I guess?

The only nice thing is the merge of the consoles with a way to see what version the person is talking about of the game. It's also looks alright when on Classic mode to navigate the topics but taking away page numbers to jump straight to was stupid as I like to see if a topic I once posted on gets lot more attention or not. Like if they just simply rearranged the buttons for the topics list it would been a decent change but it's all the small removals that really discourages viewing unless I'm already tracking the topic.

Why do new site updates always seem designed to take features away rather then add onto what worked?

---

It broke Gameraven damn it

---

1 column/ classic style makes it more acceptable, but I'd still say it's a step back.

Breadcrumb navigation is so much better than large buttons with rounded borders. Those were modern maybe a decade ago.

---

Is this a monkeys paw for everyone wanting all the game boards to be one board for all systems?

---

Looks horrible.

---

Its vomit on my phone.

The Console Tag should be themed

IE Blue for PS4/5, Green for Xbox, Red for Switch, Grey(?) for PC. Or even make it changeable via options

Nope, it's more than likely permanent. And it will be coming to the rest of the site eventually as well.

---

it'd be nice if there was just one site redesign that wasn't awful.

---

Hey! Admin!

Leave them boards alone
---

on the one hand at least we have embedded avatars now

on the other hand

As AOL put it when forcing everyone onto AIM 8.0 with less than 1/10th of the features of 7.5.
"It's a lightweight high performance race car"

I don't think I need to explain what happened in less than a year. Though that was probably coming regardless.

That would work a lot and be kinda cool. Alas it looks like that's not happening.

Another thing to complain about. Why make the quote, edit, report, etc buttons on the bottom so hard to see and faded?

---

Why can't CS and related majors just leave shit that works the way it is

---

@SBAllen We want an explanation.

as well as switching from two column to one.

Hard to say. The problem is most other times they do this garbage, there's so little other options that jumping ship and making it clear the redesign is garbage rarely happens.
