I find it harder to pick out at-a-glance the most important piece of information: How long since I have last played my country. Not sure if it's because of the size/bg color of the "Play your country" buttons, or if it's just because I'm crotchety and dislike change.

HERE ENDS MY fluffING.
HA!

fluff number 2!

The header row that says "Game Profile", "May 7 04:23:29", "Next Bonus: Now".... I cannot middle-click on it to open the links in a new tab! That is, those aren't links at all, but scripted buttons. Same for the buttons at the bottom.

That is really lame, because I open sites in new tabs and close them when I'm done.

I'm not sure I like this new portal page, it appears to me to be a very busy page. I'm certain that it's just an illusion that it is any more busy than the previous, but it just has that feel.

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!

It's less busy!

We'll be tweaking it based on user response and ideas ;)

Finally did the signature thing.

like getting rid of next bonus: now and bringing back bonus-link.

Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

Possibly the text is just too dark in color on a dark background as well.

Go to the portal page, and zoom out once. Does that look a bit better to anyone else?

I don't like it either. No one does -_-

People don't like change. Look at craigslist. Looks like utter fluff, but everyone likes it because that is what they are accustomed to. Of course, the old design of the portal did not look like fluff. It looked good. We want it back.

Bolded it; better?

Lightened it; thoughts?

A SUGGESTION TO CONSIDER.. IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL IF THE SERVERS ON WHICH I HAVE COUNTRIES SORTED TO TOP VIA A SECONDARY SORT.. THEN WOULDN'T HAVE TO SCROLL PAST THOSE WITH CREATE A COUNTRY LINKS TO GET TO MY ACTIVE LINKS ON MOBILE

Yay, the changes are good! The "Last played" line can probably be a brighter colour though!

I'll like to comment though, on a very narrow screen width (you can simulate this by changing your browser window size), the links to "Top Players", "Leaderboards", "Forums", etc disappear. Is this intended?

Yea, that's the mobile version; there's too many links in close proximity there for mobile, imo, and you *can* still access all those things a different way, if you really want to while on your phone.

I agree. I do like how it looks in general, but it doesn't need to be so IN YOUR FACE! :p

the old interface on mobile enables you to see your countries at a glance, i.e ur networth and land on that portal page.. possible to bring that back? it's helpful to see ur networth and land to determine whether u should login or not. Rather now we have to use eestats or earth graphs to see our current land/nw..
