i think its cool. well its better at least.
i did however really like how it used to be contained within a small defined screen area.a nice rule of thumb:
if a product has no demand for change and doesn't change then it is likely dead.with that said there is only one option:
the site came together very nicely in my opinion. cheers to QBN!
(i guess i'll say QBN now rather than NT)

too early to be nostalgic
here is what i think, qbn in classic mode is overall way better than the old nt, and the people behind made the perfect decision placing public voice as first column and bringing the forum in focus, i'll bet 90% of traffic at the old nt was around the public voice, which is what nt was really about, at any time,
and so the space of the second and the third columns is used to view threads, which could not have been done with pvn to the far right as before, it all adds upone thing is i miss the refresh button, even though i know pvn refreshes itself automatically, i still find myself refreshing the whole page by hand, hopefully it doesnt become a habit
Cover page is virtually useless, all columns are inflated, public choice is completely hidden and forgotten, 80% of the page are adverts..

i guess i don't care enough to hate it, but i find the new "notes" format of replies to specific posts kinda fumbly, too many layers... also, the fact that notes don't seem to be included in the number of total repsonses in the PVN list.
- funny.. of all the changes, i think notes is my fav!horton

think QBN owns tomorrow. I'll double check an confirm in a sec.

i noticed if you write an essay in the note, it chopps off the message after a certain amount of words...

"was knowingly killing the fast paced nature of the pvn a planned goal?"
You loaded that question so heavily, it answered itself before you asked it.

ughh... now I have to click to expand the threads... more clicking... sigh...

I don;t really see that much of a difference

is there a way to show every post on one page, instead of having the pagination. Also, is classic just one page? When i go to classic, I get a 3 column thread, but when I click on a thread it goes back to normal mode.

Gotta get used to the new for sure, but I think it was a big step in the right, more modern direction. They did a great job at making it look & work in a unique way, too. Great job, in my opinion.

and i don't like the big picture too.....
auto resize should be thumbnail size. 80 px
cuz i know sometime nt er post some stupid disturbing photos. what i'm saying is there really isn't anyway you can offend me with any kind of photo, but just in case somebody post a giant penis or something i would like it to be thumbnail size and have the option to enlarge it or not.- I hope for your sake you intended that to be funny.ukit
- just disable images at the top; it's like ol' skool NT, just click the link to see if you wantPoint5
- so you like small penises, eh?Milan
- c'mon a giant penis can't be so dangerousPixter
- but you still have the "disable penis" option at the topPixter
- ahhh there's the "disable penis" option! got cha! :P it will come in handy.pango

I think it looks fresh - but functionally i prefered NewsToday MUCH more, I liked the ease with which you could quickly skim the 3 columns and the understated but clever design

Actually I just noticed classic... which replicates the old site.... so call me stupid. :P (Still... the quick developing old fart in me misses the drab greyness of the ol NT)

bye bye NT, i cant see you on my 13 power book.

maybe bump the thread when a new note is added?
and a note sorting feature? like which one is the new note that u haven't read?
i really like the note thing. but just hard to keep on track on them.
i also like the filter and the reply on "editor's choice" and "public choice"
not so much for the cover page.....
and the left panel should expand and bit more out side cover page and classic.
but i'm a noob. what do i know :P

just click classic at the top and you sort of get the old layout but the opposite way round - this is my preference.

An idea when these threads get really long it would make sense to have the option to invert the order so you have latest responses at the top - especially useful if you started the topic and are just checking the replies, saves scrolling down...

what does QBN stand for?

in classic mode, its a big improvement overall
