What's your impression?

 

[Lorn]

Cool. Newegg got new buttons.

 

[LSUfan]

I find it is easier to find what want.

 

[lozina]

What was wrong with the old one?

If ain't broke don't fix it!

 

[intogamer]

aww they compressed it....

 

[nageov3t]

neat, but no real significant changes. I can't see it altering my newegg shopping experience any.

Finally, where's the other guy who thought he was so special? Well, you snooze you lose. Shoulda given us the link so your epenis could've grown. Now it just shrank 2 inches since you got outlinked.

I just don't like the beige outter border, I feel like I'm look at a bulletin board posted in an 80's home....yuck. Interface is still good though.

 

[bluewall21]

I like the new design.

Hah, it's optimized for 800x600 users. Good!

 

[villageidiot111]

I like it, seems easier to search.

 

[igowerf]

I don't think pages with a menu on the left should have everything centered.

Why not just buy it on ZZF?

training my self control

 

[tallest1]

Too orange, shouldn't be centered, very very cluttered, hurts my eyes

 

[thirdlegstump]

I think it's too cluttered and the stripes in the buttons make things look too busy and annoying. I'd like a visual indication that there's a submenu for menu items before the rollover. I wish it'd span wider as I increase my browser width like the old site did. Otherwise it's about the same.

 

[NightCrawler]

blah 800x600 sucks

I'm the special guy. I've been using the site for 2-3 weeks. It was a private beta site. You needed to login just to see it. That's why I didn't post a link to it. There wasn't a point. They only opened it for 48hrs. Then only the special people will be able to login. BTW, they gave the special people $50 in promo codes just for reading the e-mail and taking a 2min. survey. The commoners get nothing.

 

[Phokus]

Designwise, it doesn't seem like much of a change... eh whatever.

 

[Nocturnal]

If you have your fonts set in IE it looks like crap.

 

[arod]

could be a bit wider but one thing I dont see is when you to to a section theres not near as many options to wort by, for instance on the old site you could go to the motherboard menu and then from the pull down thing on the left select just amd boards, with certain chipset and socket (I dont see any way to do that on the new site). That was the way I always searched was feeding it a list of my wanted features and it showing me relevant products.


EDIT: MN it is there on some sections.... must not be completly added in yet.
