Yes. It works fine here using the default Easylist. If you can tell me which rules are getting triggered, I can take a look. I'm actively working to squash other bugs though.

And normal-ish with Lynx (I mean, as normal as it gets).

In the E3 awards link is there supposed to be only one page? and all the game links in that story kick you back out to the front page.

It looks like a mess. For reference, I'm using Firefox with adblocker. I see what Vudu posted, but with the small snapshots overlapping the headlines.
Talkback in the stories will be nice, once things are organized.
EDIT: It's showing up properly now, after a few refreshes.

If you're having problems, then it is probably with some sort of extension -- the site looks nearly identical in all browsers. But I can't help if you don't tell me what's actually getting blocked (I know at least Adblock will tell you if you click its button).

Title: Re: Welcome to the New Nintendo World Report!
Post by: NWR_Lindy on June 27, 2010, 08:35:19 PM
BnM - A forum redesign is "on the roadmap". I know that's kind of a B.S. answer but trust me, we know that the forums don't really match the site at the moment. We want to get the site proper squared away, but now that the redesign is live we can start looking at things like that.
I'd like to extend my thanks to everybody involved, especially Aaron and Ryan Jones. They did a kick ass job with the site, and this is a huge milestone for NWR. I hope everybody enjoys it, and bears with us while we work out the kinks.

The redesign is fantastic, but I have one criticism. The items in the Previews and Impressions section should indicate which of the two each one is. I'm usually much more interested in impressions than I am in previews, and it would help me out to know which is which. As it is, I'd probably just stick with the Talkback section of the forums, which does make this clear, but I'd rather be able to do it in this great new interface.

They're labeled separately everywhere but the main page listing, but we'll think about it.

I am not completely sold on this myself. It's a bit too "dense" for my liking.
It's alright though, since I get the headlines primary through RSS.
The front page login is good stuff.
edit - Oh, one more thing, good work replacing that flash based headline banner.
Title: Re: Welcome to the New Nintendo World Report!
Post by: ejamer on June 28, 2010, 09:54:38 AM
Front page doesn't work very well using Chrome with a non-widescreen monitor. You can't read half of the article titles because they are covered by images. I suspect that having a widescreen monitor would fix the problem but have no way to test and am not upgrading in the short term.
I like the idea, but the execution might still need some tweaking. ;D
Title: Re: Welcome to the New Nintendo World Report!
Post by: MegaByte on June 28, 2010, 10:10:07 AM
The front page should be fine for 1024 and above, which is not widescreen. We found that only about 2% of non-phone visitors have a lower resolution than that.

First article I clicked on froze my browser. Not exactly a great first impression. ;)
I thought the old design was fine. I get so used to certain sites that I tend to know them by feel so if you so much as move a link I'll click the wrong spot almost every time. So it will take me a while to get used to this. By then I'll probably like it fine.

Congratulations and nice work! This is a huge improvement visually and a very nice step forward.
My one complaint is the silly blur effect when you mouse over the top links. It has never made sense to me to blur what you're looking at. If you're really in love with the effect, I suggest blurring the other items instead. Alternatively, blurring the image would make overlay text easier to read, so it would actually serve a purpose if a blurb appeared, too. That said, I think if you were to do that, it would look better to blur the entire group of images and use all that space for the blurb.

"The front page should be fine for 1024 and above, which is not widescreen. We found that only about 2% of non-phone visitors have a lower resolution than that."
Hmm... I'm at 1024 resolution with a 4:3 screen and it's definitely not fine. Actually, let me add a quick note: for Chrome on Windows XP it's no good. For the same browser and resolution on Windows 7 it's fine, and the page looks great.
If it's just 2% then don't worry about it... but until I get a new monitor or start using the newer PC for casual stuff like web browsing, any interest in visiting the site "as is" will be shot. I'm only a casual visitor anyway so it's not a big loss.
Two final comments: (1) not a fan of the blur effect either, especially because it sometimes isn't removed correctly when the cursor is moved quickly across the screen. After bringing the cursor back over the blurred picture, it resets and works correctly. Is that just me, or do others have the same experience? (2) what a great group photo for the E3 2010 Awards article! Looks like you guys had a fun time.

Quick note: I didn't (intentionally) change any settings, but the page is displaying correctly now in my browser. The image blur effect is still getting "stuck" sometimes when the cursor moves quickly across the images at the top of the page, but that's only a minor annoyance.
