Wait...the clock is going to be real time? Great, this is gonna ruin restocks for me! <_<
I just finally got back into it after learning restock times and now, once people figure out the RS times and don't have to look at the front page to see the time.... :cry:

Though I do love how restock is now.

Still...I like the clock idea, though it'll add more unwanted competition, least I think so cause of where I restock at.

IMO, the spotlights and competitons should have a link for both types. All spotlights in ABC-order and same with the competitions. They seem a tad messy, IMO, on the pet central part.

Blending world and pet central and adding a BD link from where world was would be quite lovely.

I don't know if this is possible or not, but could everyone just choose which Yellow bar to use through user preferences? I'm sure that would make a lot more people happy.

I really like the bit at the side.. yeah, it's rad. and I like the idea of the bit at the top but using 800x600 I'm kinda thinking that the bulk of the bit at the top is gonna mean an annoying amount of scrolling to see the cotent, does that make sense? like, I already have to scroll down a fair bit when restocking cuz of using 800x600, and the big ad at the top will make it worse. and yeah, I know, I should get a larger screen res, but for some reason my computer seems opposed to that.

but it does all look pretty swanky!

and I think the yellow is fine. it's part of the neopets identity, you know? though it would be neat if you could change it just for yr lookup. and you know what else would be cool? showing what avatar we're currently using on our user lookups. I just think that would be cute.

thats a really good idea. it would give people who dont chat on the neoboards/guild boards a reason to collect the avs too.

About the new Events Button. I think it would be helpful if the number of events you have pending was displayed underneath.

It would also be great if clicking on your Events opened up a pop up window just like clicking on an item from your inventory does. Events always seem to occur when your in the middle of doing something important and having to go to a new page is annoying.

Aaaaaand my world's completely changed. But, it's not that bad; just.. the banner ad will be a minor annoyance.. X.x

Of course, I'm counting on sites like PPT and NBN to take screenshots so I can go back and look at the weird Chat guys once in a while. :p

I have to disagree, having the event thing at the bottom would be bad because it would be much much much less noticiable there, belive me, you would never notice it.

Wow, I didn't get to see the real thing

But the screenie makes it look really good. I think the random even thing will be good too but is the neomail/ trades/ notify stuff going to change then? I really appreciate you giving us a special advanced view, Adam!

Cool stuff. And the top 1000 people at PPT should be the testers! xD *jumps up and down yelling pick me pick me!* Hehe.

I love the revamped sidebar! ^__^

I'm not really keen on the top part ... just don't like the way it's so thick and extends ... I'm another using 800x600 - which according to one of the polls, most people use.

Will this new thing affect those of us who have already entered the Lookup of the Week? Will we have to enter again, trying to figure out this new sidebar? (Thinks of the 40+ lookups I've made for people that will all need new sidebars, tears hair out).

The ss was very nice, thank you! Since I got that same pet lookup

Is the shockwave ad still there under the time? I didn't see that on the ss. Just wondering of all the other "stuff" that's there now - the shockwave, search, etc. is all still there.

Me? I'm a traditionalist ... I like things the way they are. Then again, I'm old and set in my ways.

Yes, it's all still there, and looks the same as it does now.

I like it!:) Will take a little getting used to, but I think it will make life easier on the whole.

BTW: Since everyones fed up with the yellow, why not make it pink in honour of ppt!!:)

That's a good idea 'cause I personally don't really like the new bar xD It's too thick and the advertisements are ASKDL;ASDHUGE o0o
