Top Ten Best Things About TheTopTens New Layout

Oh yes, it's different, but open your minds and give admin a break! It really ain't bad at all!
The Top Ten
1 The messages

THE MESSAGES. WOW. Not only did it finally lose the beta and is the real thing, but the bubbles look incredible, the times are all correct (previously it was all pacific time, no matter where you were) AND it tells you how long ago the messages were sent, AND you have the option to use the enter key to send things instead, AND they moved the "block user' so that you don't accidentally block a friend. The messages just look beautiful and perfect.

One of the few strong points of the new design is the messages. I like the look to them, especially the way it seems like you're texting on a smartphone.

Like Keycha1n said, the messages look indeed beautiful. I really like what Admin did about the messages.

That's the one thing I like about the new layout. I especially love how the times are all correct now.

2 It looks much cleaner and more sophisticated

It just looks slick and modern and classy and every transition is smoother... It is rather pretty, even if it gave up the cute colors.

It's a lot more inviting to teens and kids - which is every single person who visits the site

To be honest I don't like it. I'm finding it hard to find my way round the site.

#Bringbackold

But I liked the old look!

3 The new homepage

One of my few gripes has always been the rather boring logos here, that aside, the new homepage is fresh and exciting and looks like it's on the top of it's game.

I came onto the site and immediately thought, where has the weird world of the internet taken me? Then I knew I was always there.

This is better because it shows some of the popular lists

4 Honorable mentions

Yeah! I can make a better remix on Best Metallica songs!

I actually like this feature a lot

Where do you see "Honorable Mentions"?

They have honorable mentions! Sweet!

5 The change/lack of colors

It just looks clean. Plus, if they're going to choose such a clashing color as orange to represent the site, they may as well make the rest of it monochromatic because nothing goes with orange and the previous color scheme clashed immensely (green, blue and orange-i know I should keep my opinions out but.. Yuck)

I don't like the "clean" and "modern" look as much as the classic look, It's just missing the character that every website should have, and feels a little bit plain to me.

I don't like this

6 The logo

I put this near the end because I've never liked the logo and the new one still disappoints, but it is better than the previous-so I will give it that. And it meshes well with the new feel of the site.

The old logo was a lot better! That's the only thing I don't like about the new site!

I think the old logo was good too, so I wouldn't put this too high on the list.

I'm disappointed with the logo

7 The 'just added' section

I'm not sure why, but I really like this.

8 The modern design

More mobile-friendly. But I don't like it that the site kinda looks like Facebook. Well, at least it's orange-themed, not blue.

I think this new modern design gives more attention and better quality to the site

9 The transitions

I don't know how to explain it, but when you hover your mouse over something before clicking on it-that's what I mean. The new ones are much prettier and smoother and considering everything does this, I did consider it important enough to add to this list. It makes the whole site feel quick and breezy.

Ah, now that makes it look like real smooth.

I think they are similar speeds

10 Change of font

I don't know if it was just mobile, but when I edited my profile or was typing up a new comment, it was always in this hideous typewriter font. That's gone now and I am SO glad because it looked very messy.

Doesn't bother me

The Contenders
11 The new list items get more attention
12 The related lists being moved to the side

Most of the time, I do my TopTenning on my iPod, so for me, they are even harder to get to because they are at the bottom.

13 1, 2 and 3 being bronze, silver and gold

The silver on the second place item looks almost exactly the same as pretty much every other item.

14 The user buttons being moved to the top
15 Your favorite lists are easily accessible

This is low because I don't necessarily revisit my favorite lists much, But this is all the more reason to favorite my own so that I can easily check up on how they're doing! Ahah!

16 The new top bar
17 The bigger text
18 More images on lists

It's much better to see more album covers on a music list than just the top ten.

19 The top three

The gold, silver, and bronze took a second to understand because the silver looks so much like the grey, but it looks cooler than the previous crown for only #1.

The site is different-but that doesn't mean it's bad. It'll take us all a while to get used to it, but we may as well focus on the positives-which much outweigh the negatives to me.

Practically everything on this list is a tiny thing and doesn't matter at all. Grey, silver and bronze numbers? Wow. So amazing.

20 Losing the feed

Probably the worst thing about this new layout. I want the feed button at the top back!
EDIT :
Well, it's been transferred to homepage now. Well that's actually an improvement. Thanks to those who told me about this.

That's my complain. Keycha1n, I know you don't need your feed but most of users do. It's possible that they're curious to see someone voting or commenting their lists.

I personally never used it and it was rather cluttery, In my humble and worthless opinion,

The feed is still here everyone. Go to Home, scroll down to Happening Now and click More

21 Britgirl can use her account again

Had I known before-I would've definitely put this at #1. But adding it on right now is still sufficient. Whatever the problem was-she's on again and I'm very glad!

This should be silver or bronze, with messages at gold.
