a site for tuts or some information mus be have a structure and mus be usable not what it is at the moment

Sorry I have no idea what you are trying to say. You can still filter your results by category, just click on the proper category on the search result page. I *think* this is what you are complaining about.

1000times the indent tutorial on differenz searchwords?

No idea what you're saying there... I personally think you just missed the entire concept of using the new "Found In" functionality.

I just had to say, I love the way P2L looks when I stop in now.

Best Regards,

I like the clean look overall, but may I make a suggestion?

In regards to the advertisements listed within the tutorial search results, could those perhaps have a different background tint? I browse a lot by thumbnail, and I find myself clicking on ads by accident quite often...maybe it could be set up like Google's sponsored search, where the have the blue background behind their paid advertising?

Just an idea...I'm not sure if the ads on here are based on a click-through rate, and I'd hate to be taking away from someone's business because everything melds together so much.

I definetly agree

Awesome Thanks for looking into these things...it's always nice when the designers actually respond to their users. ^^

Did anyone else understand that?

I like all of the 'Im gone for a week and this happens??' posts.

Not entirely. XP I think I understood the last line.

O_O....he's saying that he liked the old functionality of the old dropdown menu where all the categories are listed and you clicked on it and saw the subcategories. He says the new dropdown menu makes the website harder to use.

I think he is saying this about the search feature:
When he uses the search feature he gets results from 50+ sites with no results that he wants though even when he tries different keywords.

Seriously though, not everyone has the best english in the world guys - help them out. His comment about the search failure though is most likely the result of bad english.

I have been away for a while, things are looking good! Good job faken!

Congrats guys.

Ok well, I just got to say; The best thing I loved and I mean LOVED about P2L was "COLOR"... now its slate gray... *eye sore* Also as stated in previous posts, the navigation menu needs to be fixed, first off, its not everyone that uses big-screens and small resolution so for those who dont, they dont even see half the menu nor can they select it. As for the V3 it was sleek; now it looks like a forum.

I understand and can see that a lot of work was put into the new design so cheers to the developers on their hard work.

*tips hat*

Hi Chris

Do a refresh and check the menu... the lower catgeories should now open up upwards so you should be able to see the entire menu on the top fold now.

lol! I am not a pixel2life designer;)

[MikeWilson]

That Featured tutorial should stand out more, i've been checking the website every couple days and thinking there no new tutorials because the Glass Apple one is still at the top. Later to realise I'm a moron. But please, make its' background darker or bigger or something.

[curthard89]

guys....

i think the new look looks s**t lol, really, i hate it, but it doesnt turn me away from the community tho

I just don't like the way the sub-categories are displayed, and I think the site is now rather messy, if I compare it to the older version. I think you should separate the different things (I can't find a good English word for it) like 'Tutorials', 'Newsletters' and 'Sponsor partners' to make it more clear.

Great job guys. Everything loads up faster!

Those headers are already there? Each section is clearly labelled with a large text header...

I'm not sure if this was already mentioned since I haven't read every post in this thread, but I do miss the button where I can check the last two threads I posted in from the home page. When I used to check P2L rather briefly, I would just hit that button, see if anyone posted in the thread following my post, and if so, check it out. Now, I need to either sort through the New Posts, or go to my profile, click on posts and go from there. Is this function still here and I'm just missing it, or has it been removed in the update?

[dEcade]

Just an idea, have the category browser and stuff on the forums, so its easier to look for tutorials from here.

That's actually one thing I deerly miss as well. I was going to post up this complaint but yeah... I guess I didn't

Having this back IS a requirement! I used it for the exact same purposes as Tirus did... I just basically started my way through the two topics displayed on the frontpage, and then hit the New Posts link to look at the rest

It was my first impression, when I now look at the site, it's quite clear, but at first I didn't really notice them and it seemed a bit messy.
Now I'm a bit used to it, but if I visited the site for the very first time (without having seen the older layout), I don't think I would find my way as easy as I did with the other layout.
