Feedback for new TPU design

W1zzard · Jul 29, 2007, 06:45 PM

Over the last weeks we have been working on a new design for techPowerUp! The site layout is nearing its completion, in the final phase we would like to ask for your help ironing out the last bugs.

To help, go to the UserCP -> Edit Profile and select the last option View New Design -> Enabled.

Feel free to try the new design in all browsers
A (cropped) screenshot often helps more than words to describe a problem
Menu link to TPUCapture and SPDTool is broken - page doesn't exist yet
Scrolling the reviews list fast causes duplicate entries sometimes

Known issues:

MySQL error when scrolling reviewslist too far fixed
Review Database trees don't drop down

Polaris573 · Jul 29, 2007, 06:52 PM

I don't see it. Where in User CP?

bigboi86 · Jul 29, 2007, 06:58 PM

Niether do I.

Darknova · Jul 29, 2007, 06:58 PM

Under Profile Options.

I like the new design

Kind of going to miss the old logo...but times change.

bigboi86 · Jul 29, 2007, 07:00 PM

I've looked under every option...

the logo was changed because it scaled down really bad and many people confused it to "powerup" or "techpower"

Darknova · Jul 29, 2007, 07:03 PM

Ah right, makes sense, but you still missed the ! at the end :P lol

W1zzard · Jul 29, 2007, 07:07 PM

didnt look good on the new logo. also it tends to trigger spam filter in email subjects :/
maybe we could look into getting another logo designed

SK-1 · Jul 29, 2007, 07:08 PM

I hate change,...Is this necessary?
I am afraid that we will end up looking like 99% of the sites out there now.

Seany1212 · Jul 29, 2007, 07:10 PM

lol i see no difference

Polaris573 · Jul 29, 2007, 07:13 PM

This happens in FireFox and IE7 if you scroll too far back into the reviews.

a111087 · Jul 29, 2007, 07:16 PM

I have Firefox and new design works perfectly !
I don't see any bugs...yet

Kursah · Jul 29, 2007, 07:17 PM

I like it so far! Seems a little bit cleaner and more modern. I'm excited to see the finished results!

little geek · Jul 29, 2007, 07:17 PM

the 2 colours i hate green and orange, maybe some lighter blue??

xylomn · Jul 29, 2007, 07:18 PM

I quite like the new design, much cleaner/brighter...

basically just a facelift, the general layout of the site hasn't changed much..

only one thing i would say is that I agree with what others have said, the logo could use a bit of work, similar problem that happens to me when i'm writing programs or websites.. I usually end up going through about 10-20 revisions of the logo before i'm happy with it

wazzledoozle · Jul 29, 2007, 07:24 PM

The review database drop-down tree doesnt work.

Er. If you drop down an item, nothing happens. Then if you refresh the page it is dropped down.

I agree, I think you should stick with a blue colour scheme.

I agree too, I'm fine with the orange, but I would change the green for blue.
