Main Page Poll: Neowin in general..


Recommended Posts

This is the area to discuss how you voted on our latest Main page poll.

Neowin is constantly improving upon itself, adding new features and implementing (where possible) member requests for new features or squashing bugs.

The current theme is now uniform across the site and after a lengthy process of ironing out bugs we are now looking towards the next generation look for Neowin where simplicity is key and easier browsing through the site remains a priority.

Let us know how you feel about Neowin, how we can improve upon it or just let us know we are doing alright!

Thanks in advance.

I voted that it still rocks. It's been interesting to see how the site continues to evolve and add better or at least nicer-looking features.

And I like the shift theme infinitely better than swift on both the main pages and the forums.

Sometimes the tweaks to the latest forums posts and latest news take some getting used to, but once you get accustomed to them they work well.

With that said, I'm not wild about the latest news section, where it shows main headlines for a few seconds, then goes to a message, then back to main headlines...Every time a headline catches my eye, it changes to the other message, and I have to either wait for it to come back up, or scroll down the page to figure out which one it was. It's kind of annoying

leave it be for now!

Unless there is some major advances i dont see the need to change.

There is a site called www.boards.ie it uses a pretty basic system and its been up and running snce 1998 i believe, it doesnt work as nice as here or look as well but it hasnt hurt its numbers, so therefore, i dont think a huge overhaul of the site here is necessary for sometime yet.

Its the community rather than the board that makes a site imo..

I wanted to vote Still Rocks, but I think I'll have to go for Needs Some Work, because here the poll does not work. :laugh:

The Poll is on the main news site :) on the sidemenu.. this is where it links to discuuss it ;)

I like how the site looks and how the forum works. It's much nicer than it was.

I like how the mods do a good job killing flames and rude posts.

It'd be cool if you had more colours available on the themes (orange/red/brown?), but it all looks slick and nice. :D

leave it be for now!

Leave it as is, it's the people that make it the best

I wanted to vote but clicking "Submit my vote!" does nothing. refreshing the page doesnt fix it.

It's the same for me.

I tried to vote for 'needs more work'. I don't mean to criticize Neowin as I know everyone has different preferences, and mine isn't commonly shared, and I know I haven't been at Neowin since the beginning. I personally don't like the new theme all that much, so I use Swift. However, Swift doesn't look like how it used to. In my opinion, Neowin looked the best in 2004/2005* (Y) I'm not sure if this is relevant to what you're asking, but now I feel Neowin's gotten more complicated with blogs and the like. They were alright when only staff had them, and I occasionally viewed them then, but now I don't view them at all (and yes, I have made one blog entry of my own, but that was just to test :p I'm no hypocrite). It seems not to look so impressive as I did, but I recognize things must change to progress Neowin. Also, I'm not a fan of the forum structure now - I preferred as it was. I know this obviously isn't any fault of Neowin's, but a lot of great members have left :(

Overall though, I still really like Neowin (I mean, I plan to resubscribe), and the atmosphere here is good.

Oh yeah, I use a 1024*768 monitor at the moment, so Neowin should look a hell of a lot better on a bigger one (which I'll get soon!). I guess that explains why things don't look as great.

Where's the poll? :huh: I like the way it looks, great job.

I voted it needs work, as when I clicked to vote even, nothing happened. Unfortunately, Neowin still needs LOADS of work!! It reminds me of Nero or Nvidia, gotta have it, but full of bloat! You other people saying it doesn't, are just sucking up and trying for brownie points!! :)

lcg said it all pretty accurately above.

My options about neowin:

While I like the new updates, I fell the forums are, well a bit over packed. I like how you have anoucments on the top. Why not add the feedback and bug reports to the top? Everything neowin on the top.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
