riahc3 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 And now the thread is moved.... Anyways, Timan, I have a question for you since, if you are also the designer: As you can see I have 2 messages and 0 notifications. They are represented by a 2 and a 0 Once I read them I have 0 messages and 0 notifications. They are represented by nothing and a 0. This is inconsistent with the guide. Worst, take a look at the forums: Ignoring for the fact that obviously the design does not follow the same as the new one, are you can see, nothing is displayed when there are 0 messages and 0 notifications. This isn't really a bug or anything but why did you decide this? Also, on a personal note, it seems there are "color issues" with any type of notification when our avatar is greenish. Maybe a JS that detects the color of our avatar and slightly modifies the color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is it just me or does the site appear to be rather sluggish lately? Pretty much after the new design came in, I'd be waiting 10-20 seconds for the site to load at all :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Battery Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi I don't post about this stuff much but I'm finding it so frustrating. The site has adopted the big front page post style of Engadget etc. but it seems to forget that it's a different type of site to Engadget. I look at Engadget's page each day but that's it, I post on Neowin and I stay much longer because of the community - since the update it feels like more of a news page than a forum powered news site. I do find myself scrolling past loads of old, time wasting articles on the front page, it was never a problem before they started taking up a fifth of my screen per post. New Neowin is big and shiny but it doesn't have the news articles to justify so much wasted space on the front page - it's an amazing forum but, for now, seems to forget that from a front page point of view, unless you spend an hour scrolling down. Sorry if I've annoyed anyone, it wasn't my intent :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much after the new design came in, I'd be waiting 10-20 seconds for the site to load at all :s Not just you and also not because of the design, server seems a bit overloaded sometimes lately, site has been down multiple times last few weeks lately, just small 10min or even 1min downtime. Might actually also be a connection timeout instead of actual downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Legendary Subscriber² Posted September 9, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted September 9, 2014 I change the News comments to Oldest First, then browse a few more news article and its fine. A few more articles later, its back to Newest first. This is bugging me enough to make me consider finding a new source for my technology news. I heard The Verge is pretty good... jakem1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riahc3 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 <Threads merged> I don't think we need separate threads for feedback. ;) We were told by Timan that everyone should make a separate thread (especially for bugs) so everyone's petitions could be reviewed and revised without missing a detail... But as always: "The big guys" that do nothing forget about the "code monkeys" that do all the hard work. Thank you Timan for all the dedication and time you put into the site, irrelevant if we like it or not. Some members tend to forget that (most) of the staff do not get paid at all for what they do and what Timan did for the site costs a lot of time/money.

Steven P. Administrators Posted September 10, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2014 Actually I'm sure that Tim asked for separate threads for bugs. Not separate threads moaning about features. Nick H. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epk Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I just realized that the background color on the main page matches Windows 8 Start button's when you hover your cursor on it. I think that's pretty damn cool, keep up the good job :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted September 14, 2014 MVC Share Posted September 14, 2014 it was fixed at the beginning of the week. if it's still occurring for you then try clearing your cache (I can confirm this as i edited a front page comment a few days ago and it worked correctly) Definitely still not fixed.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 14, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted September 14, 2014 Definitely still not fixed. weird, i haven't had the double post glitch occur for me once. the edit button has always worked for me as expected since the fix went through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipsylalapo Supervisor Posted September 17, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted September 17, 2014 Just my opinion, but I like Neowin looking like this Like a few others, those large icons are just too much. Harrison H. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I agree. Are the huge globs at the top supposed to represent top trending articles or something? Seems they always show old crap, and never a current major headline. i.e. I've yet to click on one of them so why do they deserve such importance vs the things we do want, like the minispy.

C:\DOS> Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 When browsing the main home page using a desktop browser such as Firefox 32.0, and scrolling up, is it intentional that the top/header nav bar keep sliding down (to be visible)...every time you scroll up a little bit?? I'm curious if it's intentional. Ian W 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Bruce Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I don't think it's bad; I just hate that you can't go to your profile immediately by clicking your profile picture icon in the top right... but other than that its fine.

SnoopZ Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It should already be enabled by default but I guess they are still working on some bugs. I enabled it too, and after a long session the fonts sometimes get garbled. It now says "disable DirectWrite" in flags, whereas until recently it said "Enable DirectWrite" :p Sorry to burst your bubble, but the main page gets over twice the amount of unique hits than the forums :) Yes, as soon as a few important bugs are sorted out, that will be a priority. Just to let everyone know in the latest version of Google Chrome Version 38.0.2125.101 m they have fixed the terrible font rendering issue on older versions of VBulletin which meant i had to change the default setting of the DirectWrite flag, so i changed it back to default and everything now looks normal again. It is possible that if there were any other font issues that Neowin was experiencing they also may have now been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
