I'm having trouble with reading too.
I find it also rather offending, because quite frankly, it looks horrible. Low-quality. frowning

Yeah..the thinner font used for the stat numbers as well as the descriptions for comics are a little straining to read - I wear glasses and it still takes longer to read than it should. It looks like it hasn't finished loading all the code so it's like a placeholder font.

Im kinda sad the forums button got moved too? Now more people will be surprised that the forums even exist

Yes! I'm having a hard time with it as well. I'm honestly disliking the change as a whole. Font is hard to read, and I feel like there's a lot more empty space in general, too. Looks like a mobile version, kind of. Hope they change it or switch back to the old version.

With a few tweaks it'll be fine, honestly. I'm not here to complain about change so much as give constructive criticism to problems. I don't mind the site change too much, it's just.... ability to read trumps aesthetics.

Well, if it WERE aesthetically pleasing ... sadly it isn't. (imo, don't want to offend anyone)
It takes too much space as well. They should use a condensed font.

Oh gosh yes.
I honestly can't read it at all, it looks like it's more mobile friendly than a PC friendly one.

The light grey is difficult to read against another lighter grey background when you're checking your series.
I mean, it's really fancy and good looking (I really do think that) but beats me if I'm able to read it.

(Edit: While on the topic of new re-design; I kind of wish that the placement of the popular/trending and staff pick could be on top and then scrolling down to the rest of the comics/books! Now it feels like it's going to get even harder to be noticed on the site.)

Yeah, that's another big issue I'm having. A lot of us rely on people going to the trending tab to find our series. :expressionless:

I was JUST about to comment on this actually! I think the placement of new and noteworthy is fine? at least it is if it's what i THINK it is. I can only imagine the future gripes about trending/popular practically being placed at the bottom of a too-long website...I don't think people will even scroll down that far either. I feel like making them tabs would've been so much better than rows with a mile long space in between them all..

It definitely seems like they tried mimicking the layout of the mobile app but it..just doesn't work for a desktop website.

I agree! Like...I thought they wanted the site to not be so complicated right? Isn't adding so much stuff on the home page a little much? I had to scroll all the way down just to reach the fresh section button and I don't really feel like people would even remember that these sections exist anymore. ;x

Definitely seems like a mobile site! I do think there are too many categories, with a lot of spaces and scrolling. It's almost a little overwhelming going through all of them. Maybe it's the font also, but it seems like just about every tab requires more scrolling than usual....

agreed , i honestly thought for a while the forum had been axed , it was only by chance that I scrolled to the bottom of the page and saw the button , it makes much more sense to have the forum button at the top. (unless the plan is to get rid of the forum next?)

I almost did not find my way to the forum. stuck_out_tongue There is no forum button on the new site... Its not a big deal but it was practical to have it there.

Uppsate: Saw it at the bottom now.. ^^;

The website kind of lags on my computer? I'm not sure if that's just a me thing or a website thing. And also the positioning trending and popular does not really work on a desktop platform the same way it does on the mobile because of all the ads for other books in between them (I thought it was just a mobile thing but it's kind of overbearing and annoying on desktop)

I second the concerns about the placements on the home page. I really don't understand why the popular/trending were pushed down to the bottom. It detriments creators to a degree since no one is going to scroll that far, whereas if it were placed at the top, a majority of people would see them, plus it's not much to scroll through so viewers could see other promotional stuff as well.

Also wish the forums were back up at the top of the page, but I still think since the design's new that might be changed soon.

I have eye problems and I am honestly sorry to say that after being on the new site for half an hour my eyes hurt and I feel nauseated. It feels like a mobile page has been stretched over my desktop and it's making me dizzy.

possibly the website because it has so much more elements to load now vs the previous version which only had spotlight, popular, trending, staff picks, and the app exclusive stuff before the buttons at the very bottom for the store/creators/fresh/etc.

Now there's a bunch of banners leading to comics, a ton of rows that are extremely specific (top 10 comics/books, romance comics, etc.) and so on. I can really see it slowing down for others who's computers aren't as hi-tech or people with internet running on the slow side because its a lot to load at first glance. that's my guess anyway.

again, having it match the aesthetics of the app is understandable, but desktop websites function & read entirely different since you're not limited to a tiny screen. its the first iteration of the design and thankfully it looks like they're willing to change things around

I think the new banners is not needed, it' just the same super popular comic all over again. I was kinda wishing that it doesn't take too much space, it looks cluttered.

This too.

I really don't like the new look. Usually when sites update their looks they take away things, and lose colors. Not add more and make everything look extremely full and cluttered.

I know I'm gonna get used to it in a while, but I'm sad they changed their very user-friendly website that I really, REALLY loved.

ALSO I'm not okay with books and comics just being mixed all over the frontpage. And I also don't like how some things are featured on the frontpage like twice or trice? It's just too full. Also the icons look blurry and are a bit hard to know what they stand for.

Ok I'm sorry I'll stop complaining haha.

my only beef with the new layout is that all the popular/trending ESPECIALLY THE FRESH UPDATES BUTTON IS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PAGE
and the link to the forums is in the footer now? was it there before?
good luck getting noticed now O_O

My complainst are basically with the font, as others has said, the font is very difficult to read, and I do have already problems in the eyes so this is painful, although the look overal looks pretty fresh.
Also I don't like the fact that the fresh updates AND the forums are down in the main site, that doesn't sound too good for me.
