First the new 404 page now this! It is just a bit too pretty.

I was seeing that same style when I was trying to snipe trick-or-treat bags from user shops. (This item does not exist!) Looks like they'll be replacing the current errors with it.
I think it's ugly and rather bright - I prefer the simple text with the softer-colored green back button.

That vile monstrosity freaked me out earlier. I was convinced I'd logged into a dodgy site for a second. With any luck it's just a test and something more in keeping with the site will replace it.

I'm hopeing it's a test too.

[Kenjiro]

Not likely.. I think they have plenty of possibilities of testing such things on their own. Especially with something simple as a 404 image instead of text, it's more likely to be part of their extensive makeover of the entire site.

The red threatened to kill my eyes.

It's horribly ugly And when I first got it I was in someone's shop buying a sho codestone and forgot to withdraw np for it so I thought I'd been CGed or something...I actually studied the URL for like 5 minutes. x_x

I was sniping trick or treat bags when I first saw the new error thing, and was really freaked out. I thought I had clicked on a bad link or something! Thanks for the warning, TNT.

The black and red is hideous and painful to the eyes...ouch. I hate the fact that error/404 pages are now losing their personality.

I'm sorry for your eyes. *taps plays in background*

But I was conviced I had fome off site when I first saw it.

Speaking of error messages and changes to the site, I have a spiffy link for all who hate the old 404 message. =o

I *just* stumbled across it when I clicked on the faerie caves spotlight, which led me to the old games style.

Just find this amusing. =)

[Lee]

Thanks for posting that! It was really refreshing.

[Siouxper]

I liked the old style better, I remember when the ratios weren't even displayed, and we just had to figure them out ourselves.

[yellowsugardog]

Welcome =)


I like the old style better as well. I have a medium speed computer... not incredibly slow, but also not that fast. The new layouts do not cooperate with my computer/browzer. They either take too long to load, or don't load at all. D: Like Neovision. I can't even see that in this browzer.

The old layouts were just easier on my old computer, that I originally got when I was still in elementary school D: -pats poor computer that is starting to glitch-

And although things are 'more organized' and look more professional, the old layout has something that this new layout does, D:

[Ange]

They could have streamlined things better, I suppose, without losing too much of the "feel" of the site. I know what you mean about layouts acting up on certain browsers/computers. I have fast(er) cable internet and a new(er) laptop (two years old), and even then the pages sometimes don't load correctly.
