I guess i will never visit the Home page again.
Why? What's so different from before?
BTW, since forum was returned to it's usual look after fixed width, some artifact appeared on 2560x1600 resolution. If I zoom a bit or narrow down the window, it disappears. The same in both Chrome and IE.
I like the general appearance of it
.
My complaints, which are not particularly significant, are that things 'appear' and 'disappear' such as the back to top button and the top menu. Also, some pictures dim and get an icon on them when I move my mouse over them (this is pointless and looks stupid).
Oh, and the DAVES TWEETS changes too quickly for me to be able to read them before the next one appears.
I think iNerds have done a much better job here than they have of their own website
.
I really like the new layout.
It looks like the Bitlove link has disappeared, though. I always prefer to download the latest episode because YouTube is so slow and clunky. I can download it in around one minute and then not need to worry about buffering problems.
While we are at it.
What's the point of 'Buy Dave a Beer' when he does not drink alcohol, unless he has a secret taste for alcohol free Fosters...
I would suggest it is changed to 'Keep Dave in Chocolate Bars'
Dave,
The new website format looks great!
Thank you for everything you do.

The new modern is complete without horizontal scrollbars, so I see the entire width of my browser (palemoon) taken up with the video windows and no clue at all that there is anything to the right, never mind a way to scroll over to it. Indeed, had I not seen the screencaps in this thread I would have assumed the site ended at the right edge of the videos!
I have just tried this from my tablet and there is a few small issues. I can't select those entries with sub options that appear when the mouse hovers over it. For example the blog and shop entries
The menu that swishes down from the top would be annoying even if it worked correctly but for some reason it doesn't play well with Flash videos overlayed over it.
The less moving stuff there is on a website the better it is to navigate. Remember your audience. We're mostly nerds who like functional things that do what they're supposed to without extra flashiness.
Looks nice, but now it is SLOW as hell.
Looks great, Dave!
Haven't really noticed any speed issues here. Though, I'm getting decent internet (for the US):

And as an artist, I must say I really like the background!

I just added that one myself last night, it was part of the stock theme. I kinda like it.
I've diabled "Responsiveness" on phone and tablets. Try that now. Looks like the regular website now to me on my Nexus phone.
I guess i will never visit the Home page again. If same change will come to the Forum i will be left no options but unsubscribe.
I always say if you need to react you should not hesitate to overreact. The home page is "fresh" and "contemporary" but is slow and resource heavy in terms of continual cpu burn.
Why is it "burning the CPU" more than the old website did?
Just experimented with the EEVBlog logo and made the EEV part orange.
At the very least remove the square from the image with mismatched background color.
I fixed the logo colour, and added the hand logo. Looks much better now.

Actually, sorry, had to change this back, as the Google mobile friendly test said it wasn't compatible. This is a big part of the site change, as google will now punish websites that are not mobile friendly.
https://www.google.com.au/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/There are other mobile settings I can adjust in theme if needed, but I'm still learning what they mean.
What is the function of the search box? I tried "switchmode" "#110" and "eevblog" and got nothing.
Was working for me yesterday but now seems broken.
Also as long as you have the rolling tweets you should know that on my Firefox browser if I return to the tab showing the eevblog home page it take quite a while to roll through the backlog that accumulated since I parked it. And my CPU goes to 50% whilst it does it before settling back to 2-3% between the spikes as each message rolls over.
Fine, I'll disable then and see if that makes things better for everyone.
I actually like the way the site now works on my mobile, it's neat and tidy. Menu hidden top right and straight into the latest posts.
It is horribly slow, jerky, and crushes my iPhone Safari native browser. Mind I practically do not have any applications installed on my phone, I do not play games, nothing, just literally a bare OS. No, sorry, I am not "getting a better phone".
When I use my desktop, this template impedes my browsing. if it impedes my browsing I get irritated. If I get irritated I am not in a buying mood anymore. As the result, as I said before, I will not be visiting the Home page. Sorry to all the ad providers - you guys lost a customer as the result of this upgrade (I bought several times before).
Sure it is all Dave's business and he is free to do what he wants, I am not going to dispute that. Still, I do not understand what was wrong with the original site.
