Do you guys prefer this look, or the previous one?

[Easyrider]

Spark, I like this look much better. The fact it is faster to load is a plus, but I think the look is cleaner and easier to use. Good job.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Looks good, but as mentioned above the Catagories moved below the banner might be cleaner and not as crowded?

But yep, thanks Spark....

I like it; I can click on the later pages of a multi-page post without waiting for the first page (which I have already read) to load. That wasn't much of a problem, except when there were a lot of pictures in the posts, and I had to wait for them to load before I could get to teh page I actually wanted.

GOOD JOB!

I like it exactly like it is, RIGHT NOW, as I type this. Don't change a thing!

Great job, Spark!

Oh, while I'm here, one thing I gotta ask: What is the new knife that has replaced the SIFU in the upper left hand corner??

Lovin' the new format. Nice job, Spark. Much faster loads. I hate it when page loads hang on a slow ad site.

Picked nit - The categories are sorta crowded in that top block.

 

[Dave B]

Nice job, but please, please, please, please, please stop the blinking.

That new knife is one I designed. Hopefully I will have it in production sometime by the year 2078

This is MUCH better Spark! I have a 17 inch screen, but I usually have many open windows. This format fits much better. And the load up time has been Very frustrating recently, even with a cable modem. Thanks.

Great job, Spark, I like the new look, and the other reasons behind it are just as important, or more so, for the people upkeeping and maintaining the site.

Best of both worlds, IMO.

Spark,

The new format is GREAT!
Loads MUCH faster and no scrolling required!

Thanks!

 

[CUTIGER 3]

Loads faster and looks better IMHO. Thanks

 

[PhilL]

Beautiful!

 

[Spark]

Well, I guess that answers my question.... thanks for the feedback guys.

I hear what you are saying regarding the "busy" look at the top, I'll look at what I can do to make it a bit cleaner..... I'll probably shift the banner to the top under the main navigation bar, and the forum categories / FAQs / etc under it all, similar to what we had before.
