OLD VS NEW : do you like the new layout

white background looks great

I like it now. Yesterday it was being sluggish and not loading properly at times. Now that it's sorted out, it's working fine and is functional.

Yeah, I think it looks pretty good.

I don't like the options you've provided. It's not horribly offensive, but I have some issues with the design that will never be fixed because that's the way they wanted to do it.

I agree with the logo seeming out of place now, and I'm not crazy about the caps lock on everything (including video headers), but overall it's a nice look.

Considering I could hardly tell what had changed, I don't really care either way.

So far I love the layout. Takes some getting used to, but bigger buttons are nicer for my widescreen monitor. Looks more fitting.

I like it. Big buttons are nice.

the only thing that bothers me is that the top menu bar formats differently between firefox 4 and ie 9 has anyone else noticed this?

The red bar should end at the end of the buttons, Giant Bomb logo is too barren and I don't like how my profile thingy at the top is displayed =/

I like the instant drop down when hovering over the menus, but it looks kinda weird.

I dig it.

I don't know if its because of the new layout but the site seems to load, and scroll way slower.

I think the new layout could benefit from having Hardcore Dave as the background.

The search feels faster and the overall feel is a lot cleaner. I like it!

i like it. it looks new to a new thing.

The popup menus are worlds better.  With the smaller old ones my mouse would accidentally clip the corner and close the box, super annoying.  I love the functionality, but i'm not a fan of the new look.  Like others of said the logo doesn't flow with the bar as well.  I also don't like how the user control panel is stretched out at the top.

Only thing is I liked how the red bar went 100% across the screen before. New users might not see it right away since there's not as much leading you to the nav bar from the logo, but it's not a big deal.

I think it's great with new banner standing out a lot more and looking a lot cleaner. A very welcome change.

the only thing I don't like is how your account stuff at the top right hand conner is just kinda floating there, it's not really incorporated with the bar at all. 

At first I hated it, but three seconds later I loved it and couldn't for the life of me realize why I hated it. Looks fantastic. Great job!

It's really sexy, love it.

I think it makes the site look much better. It gives it a more modern feel. 

It is pretty sexy. Reminds me of the recent happy hour.

scrolling is significally slower on every browser I try, chrome IE 9 and firefox 4, especially compared to the other whiskey media sites. Besides that it looks great.

Fucking hate it.

I don't care.

Excellent.  Sleek, functional, and sexy.

I'm not completely sold on it yet.  There are some things I like about it, but for the most part I prefer the old style.  Most of my problems with it have been covered by others, but here's a quick rundown: 

• Floating logo and profile stuff (they're just floating there and not really incorporated at all)
• The profile info has no background so it blends into some people's custom user page background
  
• Caps lock everywhere (It's a bit over used, especially on the video header on the videos page)
• The bar is a little too wide giving me a horizontal scroll bar, it's also a little too thick for me
  
• There's a little too much white space in the navigation drop-downs as well as under the bar itself
  
• I preferred the click-to-drop-down menus on the profile stuff
  
• I had to update my browser to view it correctly (this might not seem like a big problem, but I lost a few of my favorite add-ons)

I think I prefer the old, but I don't really mind either way.
 
I will say that I don't think the font change should apply to community quests and video headings like they do right now:
 

It's a fucking piece of shit design. I want it to have the crew across the top doing machismo poses while shirtless and shit. Look at this baller shit on majornelson.com. 

Some of my problems:

• White space in the header. Way more than there used to be.
• ALL CAPS IN MANY PLACES. STOP SHOUTING AT ME.
• The header no longer has its own background, making it difficult to see things when custom profile backgrounds are used.
• The PM box used to stay up until explicitly removed. If my Internet connection is slow I might go do something else. Now when I return I have to reopen it, suffering long wait times all over again. Opening my inbox as a separate page would take even longer loading than the AJAX inbox, so it's lose-lose for me.

I think it's great. The logo needs to be changed, though. The shadowing for is some weird shade of grey and it looks super fucked up when on a dark colored page, like the Bombcast page or a user page. Also not a fan of the placement of the user icon/user name. It'd look nice if the icon was on the far right and the username next to it on the left. Looks weird floating in the middle of nowhere like that.

The one problem that I have so far, is when you go to some other users pages, and they have a custom background some of the backgrounds can make the user bar at the very top of the page nearly unreadable. 

Seems about the same, but it looks a little better imo.  So I guess it's great!

Like the new layout.

Just remove the bottom scroll bar on Firefox and I'll be happy

Not a fan of the rollover drop down menus.

The one feature that throws me off is having the result your mouse is over be in all caps while searching. Just looks a bit weird. But other than that, I'm digging it.

I like the new layout.

Its ok, but i don't come to GB to watch the layout, if i can get to the bombcast/quicklooks/forums its cool

Love it, fixes a lot of tiny little annoyances I had with the old site while just generally looking a bit nicer.

Very slick. Go Dave! (and anyone else involved, but mainly Dave).

Logo needs to be bigger.

It looks better, I like the use of space. Websites that use all of my monitor is a big plus. But I'm not a designer person so I can't say much lol

It is just fine. Nothing has really changed in a way that affects how I use the site.

" Absolute trash.  "

This.
 
It's bulky, there's too much empty space surrounding the red bar, the red bar no longer extends under the logo making the logo look out of place, and for fuck's sake, the popup menus load instantly so any time my mouse goes ANYWHERE NEAR THEM I get ridiculous popups. "

It's not much of a change, I like them both.
