So what do you guys think of the new homepage?

Personally I like it way better than the old one, much easier to navigate and much better eye candy. Not really a fan of the white layout though at all.
 As well the site seriously lacks racing stripes. :/

The home page looks exactly like Gamespot's now, I liked the old one better.

I think it looks really sharp, very well organized and intuitive.

Awesome, enough said. I'm going to try out the white layout eventually, my eyes have adjusted to the black layout.

Text in the white version is much too light and pale to read, mostly in reference to quotes, small descriptions (see: blog titles on profile sidebar) and in things like the mini-feed. Also, neutral names are nearly invisible.

To coincide with this, Black Version also has darker text now, and it makes certain things hard to read.

All in the first 5 minutes too. Word.

The layout is now auto-scaling to my screen resolution. Everything is ridiculously tiny. Help.

Hold down ctrl and scroll with the mouse wheel to make the text larger.

Did that. It zooms, but doesn't put it back to normal like it was. Not a good fix.

The White theme doesn't really look consistent...there's black in some places, too...I'm keeping black because the white just doesn't look that good.

The home page looks a little weird, and the news is all the way at the bottom...

Now that you mention it, it does remind me a little of Gamespot's layout.
Not exactly, but a bit Gamespotish.

I like it except for the statistics info under the main banner. I just find that sort of info unnecessary to users of the website and it should just go back down to the bottom like it was. That way we can see more of the blog info and new videos when we first come to the page, without having to scroll as much.

It looks good, but I'm disappointed that only the homepage is different.

The guides are a great new addition and the home page looks a lot more organized and easier to read; especially for headlines.  Good thing the white background w/ black text is optional because it hurts my eyes like many have said.  I'll be sticking to the standard colors for now.  Overall, the new layout and additions are awesome.  

The only problem that I have is you can't see what you're typing while in the new background.

Looking good.  Everything from the front page to the FAQs.


I checked out the white version, and it temporarily broke me eyeballs.  So for now, I'm sticking with the black version.

It looks better, but i don't like how the wiki aspect is at the top.  I think it should stay under the news and what not.

Like it, will get some taking used to, but not much at all. Love the guides section. You can make tables now too.

I like it.  However, the white style is bad.

Section comments on the blog are broken, as are making tables.

Text is fixed though!

I think the white is nicer than expected, but not enough harsh divisions and indicators are present.

The new way of organizing the latest editorial content allows for a lot more stuff to be on the front page at once, the stats are pretty neat, and of course guides are a welcome addition. I think it's quite nice.

I literally just refreshed the site after like 2 hours away, and was like, "What the fuck just happened?" But I really like it, especially the "Pages that need help" section.
