New DJTT Site Design: Discussion

[LmnLm3]

New DJTT home page blows! .. At least the forums look the same!!!

I think it looks fine, although I will say that it is cluttered and it's hard to find your way around it now. I think it's fine, but it does need some TLC (Tender Loving Compression).

with chrome on osx 10.6.8 I have broken images and login requests for port 80 haha.

When that gets fixed (and the ads get relevant!!!) then I think I'll have no qualms.

They're asking for criticism the blog posts. Although it blows isn't necessarily constructive criticism. I'm sure if you can give some specifics they would appreciate it.

hahaha I put some thoughtful feedback there, I figured "it blows" belongs here in the Off Topic (see: nonsense) forum

Just wondered if anyone shared that view :P

like the look and layout its nice but the fact that the main banner is tiny and theres a MASSIVE ad is kinda a bummer! i know ad's = money and you guys have to pay for site server etc but hmmm ads

[DJ5DollaHolla]

i like it but do ads be targeted by google to be about what i look up?

i would love to come to djTT and see about singles in my area.

I think it looks 100% better. Professional, bright and more appealing. If you are having problems with your browser that's your problem not DJTT's.

If you are having problems with your browser that's your problem not DJTT's.

Ok, woah, dude, I was just whining, not having any real complaint. But to this, I really feel I need to say that if my browser and OS don't render a page properly (common browser on a common OS) then it IS DJTT'S PROBLEM.

They are the ones who need to fix it, not me. As for professional, how professional is it if it doesn't look right on my screen? I am the target audience, am I not? I am the one they are hoping will click the ads, and to see the ads, they have to put good content for me to read. If the site is not readable for me, then I don't read it, I don't click the links, and no $$ comes in from my visiting, so I'm using bandwidth and they're not capitalizing on it. Of course this is the case for most people anyway, but assuming they have a PPC system going on for their ads, then I'd click them just to help out, but until it's fixed, I won't be reading any articles, because they don't show up right.

As for product reviews, if the images don't load properly, then this is a bigger problem.

fwiw, I'm sure this is a temporary thing, as I'm sure I'mnot the only one that saw this problem, and it's probably even fixed already, so it's not a real issue, but you, sir, are mistaken in thinking that it's my problem to deal with when a professional site fails on my machine.
