WOOOOOOOOO!

This is gonna be radd!!!

It will be good to simply edit a post instead of going for a multi-post.

I'm thinking blue, maybe with a hint of minty banana orange... and the cursor should be a swirl of stars.....

YAY a new look AND an edit button. :D

Fare thy well old look to the site.

Something about that made me nearly choke on my coffee from laughing...

*On the new edit feature*

About damn time.

Good luck on the update! I'm really looking forward to a fresh look!

If you mean the livejournal one then yes I do remember (in fact you can still find all our archived discussions there).

GP will the comment be basically the same because i hated how on the livejournal archive you had to click to see the responces anything that doesn't look or work like the livejournal should be fine by m
Please I need an answer.

GP: I think you will like it... that's all I'm gonna say for now. It's not an LJ, that's for sure...

Farwell Old Gamepolitics. I salute thee for the years of great service.

I can't wait to see the new site look.

@TheEdge

T wod alow uo to red ths sntence bcs I wuoled bee able too edit it for correctness.

can that annoying spambot that always just summarizes the article be banned?

Oh, and can I change my name with the new system? I was thinking of changing it to "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" as a tribute to squidbillies, or more likely "GRIZZAM PRIME" as a tribute to Superboy Prime. Or maybe "Black Adam", as a tribute to Billy Batson's arch-nemesis. THAT WOULD BE SWEEEET!

Hopefully it will be designed so that the page isn't made for a fixed resolution. I don't like 800x600 fixed pages taking up just 1/4th of my screen.

@Skyler

Yeah. That's why it sucks when comments get pulled;You have all these responses to something that's not there anymore.

I'll have to see what the new look will be. Of course, I do like the present look and feel of the site.

I can see why people love and hate the idea of an edit button. I know we've all submitted a comment without looking it over for correct spelling and/or grammar, but it never really bothered me too much. It made people seem real. The only real problem is that someone might completely change an earlier comment making following commenters look like asses. Think we can have a quote button?

New chat system will really help!!

As long as you don't over-do the redesign, things will be good.

I'll be looking forward to the new look! :D

AN EDIT BUTTON!!!?..... our prayers have been answered!

Good luck with the move.

OMG teh edit button! Thanks so much, Dennis!


Do we all now get to feel like old timers, just because we remember the WordPress site?

I;m afraid the LiveJournal one was before my time...

I can't wait to see the new lay out.

Maybe you could also list all the tags we can use? I'm tired of failing at tags here. =(

FIIIINNNNAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYY

Edit button! Woot!

Hey Dennis, does he-who-shall-not-be-named get a "personalized" version of the new site? Say with a GTA theme? ;)

@ Jack

Seconded.

Sounds groovy, I'm excited to see what choices you make in your new design. Two questions, though: will I have to re-register my account? And will we be able to see who's posting from a regged account and who's posting anonymously?

These are probably concerns I should've raised before the day you're turning over the design...

"GP Gets Extreme Makeover"...Am I the only one who get's images of like...a giant banner with a guy jumping the Grand Canyon on a baddass motorcycle with an explosion behind him and fireworks that spell "GAMEPOLITICS!!!!"?

Yep, another test.

I can do this all day.

Edit:  Edit test.

This looks awesome!

Excellent facelift for the site

I went ahead and changed my name from GRIZZAM 512 to GRIZZAM PRIME as a tribute to Superboy Prime. Diggin' it?

I really like the new layout, but it will take a little while to get used to all the new buttons and shinyness.

Here's a  and a  and a  and one o' these  ! Let's try bold and ittalic and UNDERLINED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! How do I turn off the underline and the ittalic? Seriously, people might think I'm a fruit...

SHINY! :D YAY!

Right after you post there is a feature to edit. I think it goes away after that. 

OOH, SHINY.

Damn!! Look like ya'll took it to the chop shop, got the damn top dropped, two-colored flip-flopped,
candy-red lollipop! Now throw some D's on that bitch.

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!

Result:	Failed validation, 88 Errors

Also, why are the fonts so frickin tiny? 

The new layout looks nice and pretty professional. My only complaint is that the old news ticker would open pages in a new tab(I'm using Firefox) and the new one just redirects me there. I liked being able to catch stories on the ticker to read later, while still being able to browse GP.

Very nice Dennis.

I like the old way comments were displayed but this isn't bad.

Well this site is pretty kickass. Congratulations GP! 7/10! Err...goddamn CAPTCHA with it's tiny font...was that a "d" or a "c" and an "l" all close together?

I'm proud to say that the new design is somewhat less of an assault on the eyes.
The captcha thing however, failed to load both times I loaded the page and I ahd tro right click and reload the image itself in order to get it to show up. Also, the quality on the image itself is total crap and is really hard to see... And I say that as someone who can see fine in the distance from himself to the monitor.

To be honest... and I don't mean to sound pushy... I'd reccomend removal of the feture and just killing spambots by hand. The problems with the new system need to be ironed out.

I just spent a good deal of time trying to get past the CAPTCHA in the Late Show article. It failed on my 10+ times because it's so small. It wasn't really tested for higher resolutions. It's such a pain.

(Failed Once on this post)

@GP:

FYI, some of the comments are scrambled as to order of receipt (e.g.,, the string following the article posting T2's Complaint against the CTA).
