I actually kinda like the new quickref. For once, TNT has "fixed" something that wasn't broken, and I'm not outraged!
I think it looks a lot neater and well done, I like seeing the bigger pictures, customize/bd equipment/etc. is all easier to find with the drop down menus, and being able to edit descriptions and petpages from the quickref page is a huge plus I think.
But I miss being able to see in one quick glance my pets' mood/hunger/health. Now it takes a slightly longer glance with some scrolling involved.
And I think it's a BIG drawback that all your pets aren't visible by default, or at least don't stay locked in once you make them visible. Having to click to see them all every single time I visit the page is annoying.
I thought about what Zombie said right when I saw the new layout. It looks like there is so much room for more pets. But I tried to put that out of my mind and not get my hopes up. Nothing would make my happier than having even just one more pet per account. I would just faint dead away from joy. XD But I'm sure that will never happen.
