Its ok, just not used to it yet.
Same, we'll get used to it eventually
The new site layout just needs some getting used to, is all.
Though, like many other site renovations, there are some several quirks I have noticed on the site in a quick browse through it that I feel need to be fixed, changed, or added again when the developers' got the time to do so.
These are some of the stuff I have found:
- Favorited memes don't show up on our profiles anymore.
- Sub-memes aren't listed on parent articles.
- HTML coding is rather wonky on articles (i.e. blockquotes not working, font size often looks kinda bad)
- The Popular section only shows the articles in the Submissions section.
- The Favorite this Entry! button is now a star. I much rather preferred it when it was a heart.
- Page views always stick at zero no matter how many times I visit them.
- Sub-pages on the site such as the About Us and the API & Resources sections are outdated.
- EDIT: Nevermind. It seems to have been changed so I didn't notice it at first. Modbox is a-okay!
That's basically it. Tomorrow, if the others haven't already found them by the time I get home from school, I'll try searching for some more stuff that needs fixing.
Snowman, out.
I'll have to admit, the old layout was much cleaner, but hey, I'm a frequent visitor so, I'll get used to the new one in no time. good just guys!
everything feels so bunched up together to me. I NEED SOME SPACE! GET AWAY FROM ME!
I know I'll get use to it. but the left side seems to large and invading. everything seems a bit cramped. I know they'll fix what needs to be fixed.
It's not too bad. But yes, everything does feel a little cramped
I like it's style, but it does feel bucnhed up a bit.
You all know that I've been aginst his redux from the start, and it takes TOO LONG TO LOAD! I wouldn't mind the crowdedness but I MUST HAVE KYM QUICKLY!
EDIT: LEGITAMATE PROBLEM #2: It seems when you change your avatar from your previous one that was pre-KYM 2.0, The first one stays the same.
This is awful. This is "New Coke" awful. Everything's packed into every crevice 100 pixels away from the edge of the page. It's cluttered. Disorganized. Complicated. It feels like I'm navigating the site from my 2002 Nokia cellphone. The old design was clean. Linear. Dynamic. What happened to "Don't fix it if it isn't broken"? What was wrong with the old design?
And the advertisements. Why are the advertisements loading above the header!? And why is the header so tiny?
Raptor Jesus wept.

What browser are you using? I'm on Chrome Dev and it loads just as quickly as KYM 1.×.
As for the second one, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?
@Thread:
I happen to like the new design. The subtle nuances and new usage paradigms make all the difference. I love the new user profiles and especially the homepage design. It's a convenient aggregation of the various new information added to the site displayed in an attractive manner.
I also love the new meme entry and database design. The tabs are far more visually appealing than the buttons, and the information on entries is no longer a jumbled mess of content, but a nicely presented package of information topped off with a few videos and images followed by the comments. The user profiles look much nicer now as well.
In short, yes, it is a dramatic departure from the KYM 1.x site design. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. It's a matter of opinion. But I'm sure your feedback will be taken into consideration as the site is finalized and the remaining bugs are squashed.

I figured I'd get used to it.
-If you zoom in and out ctrl+scroll, it makes it feel all awkward.
-Looks a tad bit cheaper than the old KYM.
-Many misclicks, many of those.
-I keep pressing the wrong quote button, since the quote looks to be above the post, rather than the one below it.
-The Date should be under the Karma, since its a wide open field, maybe other information too.
-I don't like activity tab as my default tab, would like the wall tab over it.
-Articles are awkward as hell.
-This is most popular article on KYM at the moment…

@Greg
Of course assuming you are the guy who came up with this poor design, correct me if I am wrong Mr.Greg.
Although I like the quotes, but it just does not feel proper.
In my opinion, it's alright.
It just needs a few touch-ups.

I'm the most popular meme on KYM.

Facepalm in 3,2,1….
Hmm.
No image remove function.
That's my suggestion to add back in.
It's too cramped IMO… ;_;

That doesn't mean that it's not bad.
EDIT: Nice-looking homepage and less mess.
Does anyone else see Edit/Delete buttons for everyone's posts? Is that one just me?
The new layout isn't all that bad to me, personally. This is also the only problem I've had, but I've only been on for a couple minutes.

No.
HALP! HOW CAN I POST TO SOMEONE'S WALL!!! (because I want to post on Jamie's wall.

No.
Yes, then I edit up but I can't edit up again but I'll wait for 10 minutes. So KYM is overloading?
I like it. Y'all stop complaining.
If you're talking about editing forum posts, right click the upvote button copy address, put the address in the address bar, and change upvote to edit.
Or just leave it as upvote and up your own karma.
Hi everyone. (Sticked this as official bugthread)
Let me address a few concerns, and know that a large launch of this size is never easy. We ran into a few bugs and had to support some older conventions that made this upgrade tricky.
- Videos section has been disabled temporarily until we fix a syncing bug with Magma
- View stats are disabled while we sort out some system performance issues. They are being tracked (and have been for months), but are just not displaying at this time.
- Yes, we forgot a few buttons. Wall posting will be available shortly (hindsight on my part)
- Lightbox browsing for photos will be available shortly. Again, another unforseeable bug that needs a quick touch this morning.
- Edit/delete buttons on forum posts, we are addressing
- And more…
Um, little help?
The quoted post has been deleted.
He told me that there's stuff missing.
By the way, GIFs no longer work on entries.

I do like the new layout though. It'll just take a bit of getting used to. Good job team KYM!

There's also no comment remove function.
This new layout, it was made for me.
Advertisements and rounded edges, ADVERTISEMENT AND ROUNDED EDGES EVERYWHERE!

I don't mind the advertisement too much besides it slight need of a locational augmentation to the better.
As long as its not that Smuckers commercial.
But I gotta admit the submissions coming up as most popular is not exactly helping KYM's reputation.
Most of the new things on the site I can get used to, but this one thing regarding the images on articles… It was better when the images were scaled down! For example, take a look at my article, . The images at the bottom of the article stretch the page out too much. And I'm sure that this is a problem for other articles with larger images.
Can't edit posts after 10 minutes?
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…….
I don't know about you guys, but I just spent about five minutes f5-ing the login screen.
Not a fan.

Same thing with my Avast, it idendifies it as a Trojan. Plus, What angrypwnser said is disconcerning….
@Ramses: No shit!
Aside from being too Cramped and tiny I like it…
It seems as though they fixed the problem with the anti-virus programs detecting trojan horses, yet this new layout is still too new.
NEW LAYOUT IS BEST LAYOUT
- Loads slower than the previous version (which was slow already).
- The new image navigation is teh suck. It makes me scroll to see pics? I don't think so..
I wish web developers would remember that there are other browsers than IE and Mozilla. Opera is my browser of choice and the site has all sorts of bugs that show up in Opera. I don't know if it is Opera's reading of the site or the site itself, but the photos load in a tiny little square that can not be opened. Also, where did our favorites disappear to?
Dem youtube embeds hnnggg
Ugh.
Came back on just now after school.
LAGTASTIC.
Dear lord, it took me about two minutes to post the damn thing.

Yes, unfort Opera comprises only a small percentage of visits a day, which compared to other browser, means our focus is on reaching the most effectiveness while under very limited time and sparce resources (human and other). Sorry dawg.

One thing that I miss are the tags… "New", "Episode", "Updated", "Trending", "NSFW"…. What happened to you guys?
