Default gaming news poll
ok, so the new version of news has been in affect for a few weeks now and has had time for alot of people to try it out by now. so i want some feedback, what does everyone think revamped news section?

personally i hate it. its over heirarched in every way, and when you submit something, from what ive seen its not made right away, but you have to wait a certain amount of time for it to be actually published which usually takes days, and some submissions may not be posted at all. when you view news links from the main screen, unless you have a SERIOUSLY high resolution screen, it looks like the link doesnt even work cause the story appears below all the stuff on the homepage and by clicking the link nothing visibly changes on the screen. i was convinced that the links just didnt work for the longest time because i didnt know to scroll down, which i think is a serious webpage making flaw and is not intuitive. do new news submissions even get a thread in the news section now?

overall the old news was broken (with the fact that the main news page was still showing 300+ days old stories) but it was a hell of alot better than the half assed system we have now.

oh yeah, and i forgot to mention that half the time, the news submitter doesnt even get credit for the news and it goes to the good old "commenting system" what a load of BS.

Not to mention the fact that "Commenting System" is actually James account.

i kinda hope we can steer this into being the next complain about the admin thread. it seems that the only time they actually pull their weight around here is the once a month that we get pissed off enough at them to start mumuring about leaving, then they come in and make some halfassed changes. hopefully if we can get them to do it enough we can combine them. after all halfassed + halfassed = fullassed.....

Yeah I personally dont really like much about the new front page at all! I mean didnt we come up with a new logo like 2 weeks ago? It was pretty unaminous, and no change. Plus we cant post videos worth a damn, and the news feature does suck. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
