    Too Big Too Childish Kindergarten Code Project. It looks like it is aimed at morons and the hard of thinking. I HATE IT!

    I keep thinking there is something wrong with my connection and it isn't loading properly. Then when I realise it is I have to hold my phone at arms length to read the thing. Hate it.

      It is too hard to read, there are no indicators of a clicked link, light grey on white sucketh, it looks like it lacks culture. Has the design team been brainwashed by the Bland Machine? Wishy Washy Crapola that says "Oh, everyone is copying Microsoft - We want in on the action so that we can look exactly like every other shite site in the world and not have a distinctive look" This is not a site for muggles, it is a developers site, and most of us have a mouse and keyboard, reserving finger use for the enholdenment of coffee cups and bacon sandwiches. If they want to do a site for the tableteers then fine, but redirect them, do not spoil the beauteous and pulchritudinous site as it was at my close of play yesterday. Why do people assume Change Is Good? Change inevitably leads to extinction.

      Well there are three kinds of people in the world: There are conservatives. They hate any change because they think it's evil. There are alternatives. They hate the conservatives and so they think change must be good. These groups are gregarious animals. They think what other tell them And last but not least there are those who can make up their mind on their own. Perhaps 10 percent of the mankind. Those people think change can be good but it mustn't be. This change is... Well Dave you said already everything about it. I don't have to repeat it. :)

        Yep. It's not for the old guys with an age higher than 14. We belong to the old ones yet. Microsoft Design is for those who don't know what they do. Just clicky-clacky. So I think CodeProject has to follow. As long as the content doesn't change to kid-style I won't complain any more... :sigh: ... oh, damn it. Yes, I will! :-\

              If enough members would subscribe, maybe we could ask Chris to do it. I've said it before and I'll say it now, it's not perfect and it may not help much, but it'll help get a rough idea about the new changes

                Can anyone tell me where 'My Settings' has gone? A quote from an e-mail when I had forgotten, or thought I had, my password: "To change your details, including your newsletter subscription, email address and password simply login and then click 'My Settings' at the top left hand corner of the homepage." I must be blind because I cannot see it.

                    Thanks, I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. I ought to retire. I wish I could turn back the years and program as I used to. EAI 640/680 hybrid. One did not have to worry about background colour, font size/colour etc., the interface was a Teletype for the digital stuff and a huge dis-mountable patch panel for the analogue half.

                        I must be a moron because I love the new design. The old design was good but it did feel a bit cramped and was a bit of an information overload.

                            Jeezus H. Christ ... do people really think the old design was better? I guess that's just proof that developers have no design taste whatsoever. You find one typographist/graphic designer who doesn't compare this to the old and tell you how much smoother and more user-friendly this design is, and I'll eat my words Seriously, the old design sucked hard. Stop complaining because something is new and different. People are so afraid of unfamiliarity ...

                              I 1-voted you for drawing the wrong conclusions. I repeatedly said I neither like or dislike the new design, it's just too new for me to realise.

                              It did not suck hard, it may have not looked like a supermodel, but it was definitely easy to use. I am also not afraid of unfamiliarity, I do welcome it. Now, after letting the new design sink in, I'm starting to like it. It still feels a bit awkward at times, but it's ok for now, and will get better in the future. Also, I'm noticing that the Maundsters keep bringing little tweaks to the site. While there is still work to be done, I'm finding that these little tweaks do help make both the UX and aspect better. Again, I did not say I disliked the new design, and the poll was not made to show my impression of it. It was made to get a general feel of what *the whole community* thinks of it.
