autobon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I opened up Bing a couple days ago and this new top navbar replaced the normal side navigation. Kind of strange, it looks pretty good though. This only worked in my IE9 browser, and went away after I closed the browser.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted March 14, 2011 Global Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm not getting this on my end. Also, that background image is from Friday?

Pupik Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm not getting this on my end. Also, that background image is from Friday? Nope. "Previous Image" history goes back a week, and it's not on it. Quick edit: Checked the US version, and it's there (the image, not the changes).

George P Global Moderator Posted March 14, 2011 Global Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2011 Maybe it's got something to do with the future HTML5 update?

Calum Veteran Posted March 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2011 I hope they don't go for this. I've always loved the links down the side on the homepage.

DragonMaster Jay Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I wish the homepage would be a bit more filled. I don't really like how it is all centered. Kinda weird if you ask me. :p But then again, I'm not getting that either. So, maybe you are isolated, autobon?

grimman Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I hope they don't go for this. I've always loved the links down the side on the homepage. They need to innovate, though. And copy Google.

autobon Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Also, that background image is from Friday? Yes, the image is from Friday, when I took the screenshots. I opened up my browser and the new navbar was showing. I assumed it was some type of temporary cookie or something, because as soon as I exited my browser, I stopped getting it. I now just have the normal side navigation. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/982524-bing-testing-out-new-navbar/#findComment-593788060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Veteran Posted March 14, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 14, 2011 They need to innovate, though. And copy Google. The point is: They innovated by placing them down the side. Google copied Bing's homepage link idea by placing links down the side on their results page. Google have also copied Bing with many features, including with additions to their Image Search.

Ayepecks Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I hope they don't go for this. I've always loved the links down the side on the homepage. Same. I don't like the rest of the clutter on the main page, though. Like the stuff below the main image. I wish they'd have an auto-resizing image so it'd fill the screen, too.

amon91 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Not getting it here yet. Personally I don't mind it much, it's a small change, hopefully a sign of more things to come.

ObiWanToby Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just got this new navbar yesterday. Seems very inconsistent on when it shows up. I just want my HTML 5 Bing.
