What do you think of the new design?

**richkid** · 10-29-2007 10:49 PM

I just clicked refresh and this whole new website came up.

So what do you think of the new YE?

I like it, but I think it will take a while to get used too..

**richkid** · 10-29-2007 10:54 PM

haha..now its gone again...
like a teaser..

There were a few unforseen issues with it so it's been taken down for a day, just a bit of maintenence.

ps. It's 5 mins to 4 in the morning here.

**jasaunders** · 10-29-2007 10:55 PM

Yep, its gone. I didn't like it. Too busy, too much going on, too much text on the sides, too many ads or they were placed poorly. They pushed down the whole forum section on the homepage.

**crackah** · 10-29-2007 10:56 PM

haha okay...

I dont mind it, but its just too many ads, piss me off.

Thats ok, thanks for the preview

I like the stats under each persons avatar, it makes me look good!!

and the arcade will provide a bit of healthy competition between members i think.

Glad you enjoyed the preview..

As Nick said, it was up for a few minutes and we noticed a few bugs so we have taken it down until the early a.m.
Yes, we tweaked the colors, yes their are some ads but all in all the site is just an upgraded and spam free site! A lot of work went into the creation of the new site and we are looking forward to continual growth and maintenance. If you have any further suggestions or tools you would like to see, please feel free to PM me directly.

The new site will offer a much better user experience (the new version of VB is much more advanced) plus there are many new features built into the site.
Videos (which will have new ones added weekly), Biz Articles (which will always be growing), the arcade (us entrepreneurs need a bit of fun too, right?), and other items that will make this a much more sleek experience for all of us.

Should go live in early morning, if all goes as planned.

Completely agree.

Old site is better.

I didnt really see where all the upgrades went too.

**allysa** · 10-30-2007 02:33 AM

me too. We will get used to it.

**Nick R** · 10-30-2007 03:11 PM

All of the known issues have been fixed, the new site should be relaunching shortly

**Xanifur** · 10-30-2007 04:18 PM

Wow, just changed to all blue.. a few seconds ago, with posting stats. Cool. Looks awesome.

**bzboy** · 10-30-2007 04:29 PM

I actually like the new site alot better...

also quick question since im new...how can I view my previous threads that I have participated in?

**Creadiv** · 10-30-2007 04:33 PM

I think that it looks real good. I am quite happy with it. Now the real test is to see how well it fights spam. I can't wait to see these new boards in action.

**BizGuy** · 10-30-2007 04:34 PM

Xanifur,

Thanks for the comments. Glad you like it.
Look around as you will see that there are quite a few new options on the site.
