Please tryout the New layout -- it will, after all, be what the current site will look like soon. Also ...

I will randomly award points to users on the http://new.myadventuregame.com site. So, go hang out there!

I like the new layout. It is so shiny. It looks great. I was wondering if the site would ever have a new layout.

I'm on it and here is what I think:

1.  The top bar on top takes too much space!

2.  On forums you could put the 8 forums on the list.

3.  When I click on a bar over there is should show/hide the options instead of taking me there directly.

4. Grey on grey?  It dosen't look to apealing.

5.  Sites a little to big.  It dosen't stay on the aol screen very well.  Mabey shrinking the up to down lenth by 10 to 15 pixels would fix this. (It could be fixed by doing number 1)

Good feedback -- solostrike mentioned the sidebar was too big, I'll try to trim it by 15px. Good idea with the forums, too.

Where is the Grey on Grey?

Sidebar (Gray on Gray).  Are you sure you can't trim it anywhere at all?  What about the red bar?

5 or 6.  New PMs could be shown as a number next to Messages on the sidebar.

6 or 7.  Make Account % Profile to just Account.  It will save 7 letters off the sidebar.

Not at all! All feedback is important. This is why I am piloting it.

On the who's online thing when I click the name of a person it dosen't show the profile.  Instead it shows the Games screen.  What in the Front Page going to be put back, and is there a way to make it more interactive for the site.  I could update the news for you.

Easy to fix. And yes -- there will be a Home page (I disabled it for now) that will have lots of info. But, that will come another day

You made the same message almost. (it's deleted)

Sidebar is looking great!

cool! Is the width of the page OK?

I have fairly big resolution (1280 x 1024), so I'm not sure if it fits big enough in your screen (which, I'm guessing is smaller)

looks good, looks good.

800 by 600.

IE works fine but on Aol there are two scroll bars.  One for Aol and one for the site.  It gets confusing.

Hey, would it be easy to make it so that the Moderation words are smaller?  It goes half o and n off the bar.

Second - Can we have it so that when you click a bar it shows the subsections instead of taking you there?

I want to do #2, but it's a pain in the butt to do for me, b/c I'm not very strong with that type of programming ... I may do it, but I've got some other UI suggestions I'm going to try out first.
