Re: New Website - First Impressions

Actually it was an offence to Ancient Egyptians. At least they used better colours.

Re: New Website - First Impressions

Do not like new site not new badges.
Site is too white, pale and "empty" - a lot of empty spaces, too few useful info.

And badges - also too pale, too "flat" and minimalistic design and all look almost the same as result. Probable design aim was to bring all badges to a single style, but as a result they have lost their individuality and distinction.
Also color (badge level) scheme is not intuitive as previous metal/gem scheme.

Re: New Website - First Impressions

I would like to get back the old badges. The new stuff looks like a Windows 10 start menu, just missing the tile for Candy Crush Saga :(.
Also the new colors are very difficult for me to distinguish as a color blind person. To me there's e.g. no difference between the 90d, 1y, 5y and 20y badges and the new icon sized images now lack the numbers/amount of runtime years.

And where can I find my project specific achievements, especially how many y:m:d:h I've crunched them - I would like to know how much is still needed to get the next badge/milestone...?

Re: New Website - First Impressions

Like many said before me . please bring back the summarizing table of project runtimes/points etc.

At least allow us to choose "advanced mode" or something like that, which would bring all that stats-goodness back.

I am sure the website will continue to be worked on, and I like it in general. Just some adjustments needed with a bit more colours and removing some of the flatness/Windows8 styling. Large empty areas are just hard to make sense of.

But the website does look fresh and is a good new base for something that can become great again!

Re: New Website - First Impressions

The new widget is totally messed up.

Font size is way too big and does not respect the own margins of the widget. To the right, the text goes beyond the margin. To the bottom, the link to join WCG just disappears.

Please fix this.


Which options are you using for the widget when you see this?

Re: New Website - First Impressions

Link to forum. Before: at the top. now: all the way to the bottom and harder to find the forums. Can use Ctrl+F to find in the current page the "Forums" text.

Download at top bar or pop up = button, Download on account pop up, Download at bottom of page, download download everywhere. Meanwhile, the link to forum is harder to find.

The sides, log in, my contribution overview, results status, they have gray sides with white middle. Looks nice.
The sides in Forum: bright white sides with gray middle, well, every second reply it is gray. This look somewhat bad and harder to read forums.

Top bar: Before: This is just part of a page that can scroll away when scrolled down. Shows links to various places.
Now: Top bar always on screen all the time that can never go away. If web browser width is reduced to 1080 pixels (1080p monitor rotated 90 degrees), then the top bar is reduced to just "= World Community Grid . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (account icon)". Top bar mostly blank.

This forum bold and italics stopped working? Oh never mind, this got fixed in a middle of typing this and pressing "Preview" again.

The Community, Teams: appears messy with multi line per row. Looks much better when web browser width is reduced to 900 pixels or zoomed in.

Edit: more to add:
My contribution, results. The filter always reset itself on reload (F5 button), or if I click on something else then press go back. The old website did not reset itself this easily.
