Wow, without any warning a new layout! Nearly got a heart attack ;-)

Yeah. But I don't like it...

WTF??!?
i thought ive accidentally entered a porn website.. (because all the colors and all..)

i liked the old layout.... :/
i guess its time to get used to this layout, ha?

I do have to get used to it too. Let's give it a chance for some time first...

Philipp, I think there's still a little bug in it: the blog link links to the forum in stead of the frontpage which imo it should be...

I figured the best way to get feedback was to just release it :)
It's definitely in a test period right now.

didnt really get the bug Art-One, but heres another one:

I suppose the headlines are new or were I just to lame never having looked at it. Based on RSS? Which streams are you aggregating?

David, I already fixed the bug Art mentioned...

Thanks David, fixed that one.

ohh ok Philipp..

what about the bug ive mentioned?

Art, the headlines are alled – the link used to read "Google's Blogs." I'm polling the Atom/ RSS of those official blogs every 5 minutes...

lol...
fixed.. :)

thanks

> Art, the headlines are alled

Err, "old" not "alled". I guess I'm mixing German and English today :)

another qustion Philipp..
why did you give-up the old logo? i think it was ok...
i didnt really get the new logo.. :/

ok seems like a new layout.. no biggie..content is still good correct ?? :)_

it sure is /pd! :P

It's something between design for three-year-olds and a porn site design ;>

I think you should change the colors, make this line on the right thinner, and set the site width to 100%.

The design was inspired by this ad I saw:

I dont know why.. but I feel like I have been taken back in time – like a web0.1 type of colurs and layout..less is more :)-

need a little time to adjust to the colors and style ..

waaaaayyyyy back in time... :)

lol..
im sure youve used Photoshop to make the picture more clear.. right ? :P

and i must agree with Ludwik

its ok .. phillipp.. google give that poor guy a heartattack when the share dropped to $38/- – so I think its only fair that you give the forum members a minor heart murmer too.. – yeah that falls into the 20% contriubtion bucket!! :)-

Oh, and the first post is too close to the top of the site. Nobody looks there ;]

is today april 1?? ;)

lol..
i think youre right :P

Philipp, do something!! lol.. :)

Wow, the new layout is sooo girlish... btw, I don't really like it.

the old layout is back again!!

thanks Philipp!!

That's better ;)

yeah..
mucchhh better!!

most likely he's doubled up with laughter at the moment... :D

Certainly jumps out at you – that's maybe (?) a good thing – gotta think/use this for a while to see if it "sinks" in.

One thing I'd consider is going to a more fluid layout – you appear to still be fixed width – allow it to spread out a bit for wide monitors.

Ditto that I didn't notice the Headlines before – better title for this. I kinda liked the old circular 80% Google logo ... but as implied above, I may get used to the new one – time will tell.

alek

P.S. Played around a bit more before I hit "submit" ... the colors are definately "retro" ... but I think it is starting to grow on me already ... and it looks like the Mass Media has noticed too!

Heh... Alek, that's the Gaxed hotlinked message... I guess Gaxed doesn't approve of this forum ;)

Here is a screenshot for those who haven't had chance to see it: http://www.ludwik.trammer.pl/screens/new_philipp.png

loll..
thanks /pd :)

No offence Philipp, but I don't like that layout either.

I can still see the new layout in some of the archive pages.

Thanks, I'll run an update... should be fixed in 5 minutes.

I like the new sidebar!

yeah.. the new sidebar is nice..

thanks for sticking with the old layout Philipp :)

Philipp – please keep the old layout. I really don't like the 'new' layout. Thanks.

Follow the google pattern.. keeping things simple with the same basic look of the search engine. I was so depressed when techcrunch got its new redesign. I really don't like when sites (especially ones I'm emotionally attached to) recieve a "plastic" surgery.

am, i am not up to date... but: where do you see a new layout??

> thanks for sticking with the old layout Philipp :)
okok. i should read before i post :p

lol... :P

what? -.-
