{{BebopKate|time=01:37, October 8, 2010 (UTC)|text=Okay, so I decided to check out the new interface. Holy crap...it's crap. | |||
The old interface was intuitive, with stuff easy to find, yet allowed for individual styling and adapted to the screen space to fill the page with information. The new style? Hard to navigate and not at all easy to figure out. They've stripped away most of the individual flavor of each wiki. And they now highlight advertising over information. | |||
But the locked screen width? That's the killer in my book. Along with screwing up the tables and formatting (as previously mentioned), it makes everything really hard to read on my widescreen monitor, because everything appears smaller. And I'm glad all you young'uns are noting this, because then it's not just the crazy old woman ranting away. | |||
I'm not sure what Wikia is hoping to achieve with this reformat. If it's ease of reading and accessibility, it doesn't provide that in the least. If it's making a more "professional" appearance, it really doesn't do that either; professional doesn't mean boring. But if it's putting their name and ads front and center, it's achieved it's goals. I understand it's a free service and they need to recoup costs, but if I can't use it, then I won't visit. | |||
I'm not one for sporadic movement, but if the flexibility of the old system isn't returned or made an option, I'm frankly all for heading out, too. Wikia had a good thing going; I don't understand why they decided to stubbornly plow ahead instead of listening to the editors who use their tools. | |||
By sheer coincidence, does this reformatting remind anyone else of [http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/110957/gap-changes-logo-why?mod=family-kids_parents The Gap's crappy new logo]?}} | |||
