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 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

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.

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.

Help & Discussion Center

Customizing Windows

  • Everything in this section is fine. Leave it the way it is

, Windows Support

*nix Customization & Support

  • Combine all forums under one catagory. How many use linux on here? they can just click a link and click what catagory they want.

Macintosh Customization & Support - Rename Apple Discussion

  • Everything in here is fine. leave it

Designing & Programming

  • Fine. leave it

General & Off Topic Discussion - You say "no off topic discussion" in the rules, so why this?

Recreational Activities

  • Fine, leave those

Neowin Related Discussion

  • Fine, but like I said above perhaps move to the top.

Let me know what you think. and fell free to add and change stuff to my list. but the current forum is WAY to over packed. needes some space to breathe.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
