Zal Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well for those who don't know, dAv5 was just released. Let me tell you, for someone who goes to it frequently, I'm not impressed. ____ the bandwagon for me, I'm not going with it just because everyone else is. Personally I hate the two second photoshop layout they've redone it with, and all they've done is move buttons around and tinkered with a few things to make it "easier". Oh by the way, the layout code is now officially retarded. A lot of things wont load properly on my computer (and a few other friends have the same problem) plus journals and deviations take a lot longer to load and when they do, sometimes they wont even show up. Big thumbs down from me. I wont be renewing my subscription, thanks. Also, inspect this. This is what it comes up for my friend's account: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/Zalorus/screenshot.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zal Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 DeviantArt version 5. A "version" is now apparently a stupid photoshop do over and moving buttons around to confuse you. Finally they change the colours so no one will notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ila Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm going to be honest: it really isn't nearly as bad as you made it sound. In fact I think its quite spiffy, although it does look a little too MySpace/LiveJournalish now. And I still prefer version 4, but that is because thats what I started with.

Steven M Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm not impressed. ____ the bandwagon for me, I'm not going with it just because everyone else is. Hahahahahaha. Get bent. The majority of people I've met on DevArt consider this move to be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki-at Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Meh, I don't mind it, as long as I can still figure out how to upload my art and comment on others its good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsmarty Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 It looks pretty hot. I see no problems. (Edit: I see some now after looking at it a while, but eh) It'll take a while to get used to, but I don't use DA enough to particularly care.

Pheonix Gamma Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 All I do on DA is upload stuff and comment, and read comments. So I'm chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckboy Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 It looks too much like SheezyArt's color scheme, and SheezyArt sucks worse than DA. Christ though, couldn't they at least try out these new versions first before testing out a ____ty buggy version on us? Everything is loading slow as hell, and the message thing is all screwed up. THANKS DA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 So since Digg is redesigned it's totally okay to outright STEAL the Diggv1/2 navigation/header bar up top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zal Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hahahahahaha.Get bent. The majority of people I've met on DevArt consider this move to be a bad idea. Get bent? Almost everyone I know has taken a liking to it. I don't really care what your friends dislike about it, just like you don't care what I dislike about it either. If you check out Spyed's (new webmasterpersonorsomething) page you'll see a bunch of suckups on there telling him how amazingly cool it is. Plus Ila, the only reason I'm giving it a hard time, is because for me and about three other people I know now have been experiencing critical problems with it. Now it may not seem all that bad to you, but for people who just bought a subscription for a website which now wont work for them, you'd be pissed too.

BRPXQZME Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah, I wouldn't be quite so cheesed if it didn't make my Opera experience worse than DA already made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Perhaps it's because Opera ____'s itself when it sees JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRPXQZME Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Nothing to do with the JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidimanNull Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I find it pretty damn sleek. but I can always user-css it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 There's another thought. Long loading. And it won't even let me get rid of any messages I have. Why would anyone consider this to be better than before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor-J Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Heh, I saw this yesterday, I hate the new layout as well, the old one was fine as it was now it's just retarded. I really hate having 4 preview images for recent deviations instead of one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ila Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Just for the record everyone is entitled to their opinion Zal. I know that you feel strongly against this change but you don't need to correct everyone. I <3 U! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zal Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I shall not correct everyone, only those who are wrong. xD But yeah seriously I know, I probably took it overboard. I'm just all angry because my friends money is all wasted on a website that now conveniently wont work for them. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 ...Sue? ::shrug:: I can agree that if I had paid, I'd be pissed off as well for them randomly changing it and not at least preparing me for it. Especially for a redesign as vast as this. Also.. the site looks better on my computer (I'm using Firefox) than it does in your screenshot). Not sure why that is.. maybe you just cut it at the wrong spot? It'll take some getting used to, but I don't think it's that bad. Although it does immediately make me think "omb MySpaceArt!"

Well because in the screenshot, everything mushed up against each other. The code is messed up on some people's browsers and computers. The things wrong with mine are like the comment window ON TOP of the deviations, my friends list dissapearing and all strange stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
