I must say I'm starting to love the new wishlist. Merging the actual function of the wishlist with a rudimentary forum was a brilliant idea. This really could keep the number of request threads as low as possible.

I'd even like it better if they released Theme Hospital already, for christs' sake! ;P

As someone who mainly uses the forum 99% of the time the main change I see is the bar being stuck at the top, which I just see as an unnecessary annoyance rather than an improvement.

That said, looking around on the site it does look like some nice additions were made. They just don't affect me much. My main interests would be fixing the edit bug/multiquoting bug on the forum :)

I do not.

I do not like the news items not showing a bit of text of the news.

I do not like how slowly the page renders on the computer I play old games on. (C'mon, no one else uses an old computer to play old games?)

I do not like the toolbar wasting vertical space - it takes up almost as much room as my browser's title bar, address bar, and tab bar combined, and computer monitors are annoyingly short vertically these days to begin with.

Changes to the library organization don't bother me because once I download a game, I never look at it there again.

Yes I do.
I love all the attention the people responsible are giving us, their community!

While I can see the need for a little bit of tinkering here, I hope GOG doesn't start incorporating some (imo) stupid features like "signatures" et al. I like the sleek, minimalistic look of the forums.

I have to admit, the grey bar doesn't bother me one bit - after a few minutes my mind filters it out and I barely notice it.

I can't say as I mind the bestseller list view, although I instantly sort by name as if I go the the catalogue I go there for a reason. If I were new to the site however it may have shown me games that I might otherwise have missed.

The one real thing I dislike however is the front page - I liked the headlines in a nice clear list as opposed to tiled graphics, and I liked the top sellers/new & coming bit smaller and to the side. When I come to the front page it is FOR the news, not the lists. If I wanted lists I would go to the catalogue. I can live with that however.

God forbid. The visual design of this forum (and the site, if you ask me) is fantastic as it is; signatures indeed are the very last thing we need here. I'd accept signatures only if there were a setting somewhere to not display them (which I believe phpBB et al. have).

And, in my opinion, the 16-char title is good enough for a signature (and nicely tucked away at the side so it's still visible while not disrupting the flow of the conversation). 250+ character behemoths are most of the time just annoying.

I like the minor redesign. Not really sold on indie stuff, they're usually DRM free anyway and I come to GOG for old games.

Whatever works for them though.

I too do not like the blocky, graphics-style news "headlines only" all squished over to the side. I look at the news much more often than the bestsellers list, and now I can't even see if it's something I'm interested in reading.

I'm not a fan of the top toolbar thingy either, but if I could pick one and only one revision, it would be the news on the home page.

i like it but i was expecting more, i hoped that they already have ready at least 10-20 newer DRM-free games from various publishers at launch for NEW GOG... :(

(i didnt expected some brutal mass launch of games but at least more than 3 indie games)

Thanks!!

Maybe I just don't get around much, but the GOG forums had struck me as the cleanest, easiest to use forums I've been a part of. I would be concerned if there were to be any significant changes. My only beef has been it not reading my mind and knowing when to go to the first page and when to go to the last.
