I’m liking the new layout.

Any Facebook Connect support anytime soon?

Just wanted to echo the comment about the “older” and “newer” buttons being out of place. More specifically, they aren’t consistent with those on techcrunch.com. In fact they haven’t been for quite some time, but I figured this was as good an opportunity as ever to mention it.

you need a 3rd answer – What new site? It still looks like Google Reader to me!

I think the site looks terrible on a 22″ widescreen.

Too much white and eggshell. Ow! My retinas!

Love the changes you made since last night. Overall a great upgrade, whoever designed this has earned an attaboy.

I liked the old design too, and the new one is quite nice too.

However, I come here for the content… which is top-noch!

Now that you’ve got the post delineations, I’m a huge! fan of the new layout. Awesome.
But I still feel like I’m staring at a light bulb with the bright white everywhere.

Hard to read…white space galore and please bring back the page numbers. I though I’d mistakenly gone to Techcrunch. It’s like you joined forces…are you combining the two sites or something? I guess I’m too old fashioned but this gotta be kewl attitude is getting too much and too boring. Be yourself not Techcrunch junior.

Got to agree with most of the people here, its too white.

And I miss the big picture and the ability to read the full article without clicking the article title or “read more” link, now I need to spend more time clicking rather than scrolling.

I LOVE the new layout.

Pros:
–much faster on my hacked iphone, and easier to follow and load.
–Nice top menu, I am more likely to visit other sites

Cons:
–Too much white. Way too much…
–The “old posts” and “new posts” buttons seem backwards to me

Loathe:
–Cannot jump to a certain page? Did I miss that? Why is that gone?

Yeah, I liked the old better version too. This is like Mobilecrunch’s format (yes, I know it’s not a coincidence). I agree that it’s a bit harder on the eyes with all the white and it looks more like a blogspot page now than a tech site.

I’m sure it’ll grow on me but I’m not digging the smaller font. My eyes get so tired reading gadget blogs that I always felt looking at CG with its 14pt. font to be a relief. I know, I know, I can change it in my browser but I’m lazy. (Also, the design reminds me a little of Gizmodo…a little.)

Honestly, I’m not a big fan of the design change. I don’t know what it’s going to look like when I get onto a decent computer with Firefox at home, but at work I’m stuck in IE6… and in that it looks awful.

I assume it will render close to what Techcrunch’s layout is suppsed to look like though, and honestly… while I understand the idea of consistant brand identity, I also stopped reading TechCrunch when it started to bother my eyes.

I’m not leaving CrunchGear’s readership, but I probably won’t keep checking it at work… and that’s most of the time I read this site.
