After many months of waiting DeviantArt finally releases a new version.

Check out DeviantArts V5 Version with a snazzy intro: http://www.deviantart.com/v5castle/ If your not into the intro just skip to go directly to the main site.

I've been on DeviantArt for almost three years (including a different account) and I must say it's looking better than ever. It's not only the looks either, the functionality (so far, I've only been messing with it for a few minutes) is far more superior than it was before. I love the bigger thumbnails too, and the image viewing system, and like... everything.

The intro was kinda lame though...

It's awesome, all my favorite websites are getting new layouts. This one, dA, Last.fm, and some other small ones. It's like the baby boomers, only instead of babies being born, it's websites getting new layouts.

My analogies are flawless.

[Bug]

Rightio... so they still have bugs to fix out for IE... that's alright. I'm sure they are working on it as we speak.

I'm assuming that the Firefox interpretation of the site is the correct one? lol... anyway, I do hope that they are fixing that problem... or maybe it's just me not using IE6

Anyway, apart from that... looking at DeviantArt in Firefox, I'd have to say that I liked the previous style better... I'm not sure why... I just do.

None-the-less, they have done a great job for this version!

[Bug]

Actually, I think I may have found out why I don't like this site as much as before... the colour scheme that they used is much like the previous one...

The rest of the site is brilliant!! But maybe a change for the colour scheme?

They have the odd release bug you can't expect any site of that size to have a perfect release version just like when Pixel2Life went live with V3 everyone has glitches and bugs.

I thought the intro was quite fitting actually, very impressed at the load speed definate improvement in that area.

[sq3r]

The intro was just kinda... tacky. It still got me excited though XD

I skipped the intro, also I was just randomly browsing and boom suddenly it was different, I was like.....WOH

[venomsnake]

I like this version better then the last one, better design and functionality, but the site has a bug in opera 9

Its hard to view the site with that blocking part of the page

edit: also in opera, only in dA that i can tell, i cant scroll up with the mouse wheel, it just goes down instead of up

Personally I like the new DA and I tink the intro is tight.

It's so much better than the other one.

[FFX]

well im using IE 7 and just about everything is out of line so i can't really say at the minute.
But the colour scheme is nice and the new features look good.

They should have made me write the xhtml / css...

jk... i'm sure they're working on it.....

DeviantART is one of my favourite website's and this v5 is just the creme de la creme, lol. I love the new features they've installed, they make life easy!

[chaoslight]

looks cool.. and I must say its a big improvement.. they still need to update the message part though.. it doesn't fit in with the rest of the site.. or maybe its just my cache

[kalcium kid]

[DanWilliamson]

I can't really view it as I mainly use IE7 & Opera.

what do you mean it takes ages? it takes me just a few seconds to upload something.

[The_pro_designer]

Opps! Forgot to let all in on what I think on this! (Like people care )

I like the intro.. thats it.. DAhas a new look and it just gives me a bad feel.. I really don't care for this one at all Vs the old one! The old ones main seemed like it had more content and all..

and just because it is V5 don't mean its 5x better it may be 1x worse.. Sorry this is so negitive and I really do like DA just liked the old look better.. way..
