Midnight Mick Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Nope, I don't like this "New way". I liked it when I hovered over the tabs and got the drop down menu's. It feels I have to do twice as much work and open extra pages just to check to see if there is any new news!

Davebo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm just going to use the rss feed from neowin as a live bookmark in Firefox. That way I can all the categories in one place, and avoid all the extra page clicks associated with visiting the main page. http://feeds.feedburner.com/neowin-all Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636905-recent-news-layout-update-on-main-page/page/4/#findComment-589407028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Wagyu Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 If browsing on https://www.neowin.net/news/main the dropdown boxes of Software, Games, Forum doesn't show. But if browsing forums, those drop down menus are working. Is it going to come back on the main page? I don't see how this new box below it with Recent, Popular, Rated etc has any improvement, it certainly doesn't show the last 10 Software or last 10 Games news.

Dance. Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Actually having "Main News", "Software News" and "Gamers' News" seperately would be much nicer rather than having Popular, Most Viewed and Rated threads. Just my two cents. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636905-recent-news-layout-update-on-main-page/page/4/#findComment-589407391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraSonic Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I currently replaced my Neowin favorite with the forum, once the forum get this downgrade I think I actually just use the all rss feed and stop visiting the site period. I really disapprove of this. >.< Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636905-recent-news-layout-update-on-main-page/page/4/#findComment-589407783 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ID2 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 This was how we used to do it, note all that text at the top of the page:?. . . We hope you like this update! Instead of "all that text", which was actually information. which was why we came here, you've given us a dirty great advertisement panel, slap-bang in the centre of our view! The front page should be a portal to the rest of the site. This new way seems to be far less inviting or drawing the viewer into the site. The ads should be secondary to the main function of the site, not front-and-centre! Thumbs down.

WarStorm Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I like it better now- good work. I still think there's something strange about having both the main Gamers, Software Buttons at the top and then again in the recents area. just my opinion though.

bmdixon Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I like this better now, still not keen but i'll get used to it. Seems quicker to update now that they're separated too (don't know if that's just me or if it was slower...)

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted May 20, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thankyou for listening, it is almost perfect now (Y) Only issue I see is that Viewed, Popular and rated show the exact same feeds :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636905-recent-news-layout-update-on-main-page/page/4/#findComment-589414185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted May 20, 2008 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2008 Those are not rollovers. You have to click them. You can click all tabs to make them stick.

dead.cell Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Eh, I'm sorry. I thought I'd like the change once the software/gamers sections were added, but it just feels outright clunky. Hovering over the sections has a second delay, clicking seems to bring up the hour glass as well as having a delay. Tried it in FF3RC, Opera, and IE7 after a complete refresh, and even after having loaded each page, it still remained slow. :/ Honestly, I'd pay just to have it back the old way.
