    Angry New FA looks exactly like steam & DA?! WTF!!

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/546166/fa/page-rev-2.0.png

    NOOOOOOO

    I'm really pissed that every time a site has a good interface the designers feel the need to change it for no reason.
    Take facebook for one example! the old interface was so much better, almost anyone will tell you that!

    Now FA wants to change a good thing to look exactly like the new Steam and DA??
    Dude, this site doesn't need a make-over! it's fine... no scratch that, GREAT, the way it is!

    WHY MUST FA BE CHANGED TO LOOK LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE?!

    Personally I'm okay with that look, except for the comments boxes. The speech bubble look is so overdone.

    hopefully it doesnt change too much, some of the features and controls are quite nice, but it could use some cosmetic changes, when i first registered I thought it looked kinda outdated

    I agree the look is better, the functionality will concern me though. I used to love yahoo email until all the frames and pretty buttons, and tiny options appeared trying to out do gmail. so hopefully functionality, and speed can remain with the new hairdo.

    Oh gosh, it's Moon Eater! Hiiii Moon Eater!!! We haven't talked in sooo long!!

    I think this design looks pretty good! It doesn't really have that dA vibe though, if anything the current design is more like dA.

    uhh... first thing I'd immediately be concerned with is, "Is it Mobile-friendly?" <.<;;

    Either way, just change the colour to fucking blue and it'll look different again.

    Also lol, vaporware.

    I would like to point out the FA redesign image is well over a year old, and existed long before anybody had ever seen the new Steam client at all.

    So, because Steam has a design that you feel is similar (long after we announced ours) are we supposed to change what we had?

    I doubt it would be a lot slower or so... Maybe it'll take a day or 2 to get used to the new design, but I like the way it's going ^_^

    Also, perhaps I should infract 'Neer for double-posting You spammer :P

    Because people have been saying for a long time that the new design reminds them of dA and/or SoFurry, maybe you should reconsider it?

    I personally think it looks way too "look at our slick design!!!" and/or social networking site, and never liked it. The main area, aside from the blue and green buttons, could pass, I guess. The nav bar feels rather irksome, though.

    idunno, i kinda like it. like a commenter above posted, it looks a lot more professional than the current layout.

    i would be concerned, however, with how this will affect the site's performance. if it's an upgrade in speed, awesome. i hope this new layout/design doesn't slow down the site's performance.

    i am curious, however... if this is slated to be released, i wonder what other extras are being added in... proper tagging and filtering systems maybe?

    I fail to see how the redesigned template would adversely affect the site's performance in of itself? Quite a lot of the work would be done in CSS and rendered on the browser side, the images would all be optimised to lower their footprint, and for the most part we still have the same, heavily optimised codebase driving it.

    The new layout is not abandoned, just delayed.
    It's going to be a new default layout, but the old layout would still be selectable in the control panel.

    I'm excited and glad that the old one will still be available. Ever since DA has changed their look, I cannot access the site at all. My poor connection simply can't handle it.
    This is where I post my art. You should go there.
