New Website Design - Feedback

[Boubouille]

My lovely new tech team is working on a new design for the site and I figured it could be nice to ask for your opinion while things are still in development.

Important

• No, we're not reducing the amount of news posts on the front page to 2, it will remain the same old super-long front page.
• I'm mostly looking for people who have good idea on how to improve things, if you really hate something try to elaborate and offer ways to do things better.
• It's a 1680x1050 screenshot because this is the most used resolution on the website, it should work fine on lower res.

Yay no more mmochampion guy! Its a great design but I will miss the sidebar and stripes

[RBFxJMH]

I like it very much.

Looks awesome, just hope its optimized for a 1024x768 resolution. Im cursed with a small monitor

[TheRealDavidTwo]

So far, I think it's nice. I think you should use sidebars again like you're currently using with the old design. Other then that.. it looks great!

Is there still going to be a new news frame at or near the top? I am extremely lazy and hate scrolling down the super-long front page searching for 3-4 day old info.
Other than that I likes it!

Also your Dummy text took me some time to figure out.....

It's very awesome Bibi

I'm sad to see the mmo-champion guy go. You should put him in there but a more sexy version.

Overall I like it, although I think the green background is a little dark. Also the bar at top wasn't very noticeable at first.

Very Sleek and Simple. Like the color Scheme, and... well... All around sexy.

I like it...But what of the fate of the handy sidebars? Will they stay?

[Hannesv]

Looks very good!
Although I'm wondering, I'm using IE7 and a not-so-good computer at work, when I visit a website like curse.com, it takes ages to load, because the website is so bloated, I hope this won't happen with MMO-Champion. (It already went slower since the switch to vBulletin.)

I like it!

The sidebar looks like it's a top bar now. I think some of those top options look like they pull down.

Looking nice. I think the MMO-Champion guy needs to stay though.

Very aesthetically pleasing so far. Side bars aren't needed, and frankly would kill the overall design flow of the new site. I'm assuming the tab where Patch 3.3 and Cataclysm respectively are drop down menus that would act like the old side bar? I'd so, that's the way to go.

Banner ad is bearable, but having another ad right below it beside the forum topics will make the page look too cluttered.

Gasp. I did not see that.
In which case I approve.

[Pope]

I think I remember that Bibi once said "the sidebar (yes - the thing you don't use)"

I think the Sidebar is not important, if cataclysm would be live now, I guess 95% of the people who use the sidebar now wouldn't use it anymore.

Oh and OT: looks sexy, nice to see the bright green go.
But keep the MMO-Champion guy/girl.

[toychristopher]

Gasp. I did not see that.

I think it's kind of easy to miss. I didn't see it at first either.

Awesome new design. Implement this asap!
