This new smash layout is amazing. I am enamored by it and was excited to see it finally come to live.
What do ya'll think about it?
Well at first it made my eyes hurt. And on balance it seems slightly uglier than before.
The site still has terrible layout -- the top 'screen' of every page has zero content on it, and every post is 2 inches high, which makes for
constant scrolling.
The menu bar sticking to the top of the screen seems virtually useless (and again costs vertical space on screen).
Also, I agree with Gheb about the light thing, the animation is unnecessary and irritating.
However, multiquote does seem to save on copy+pasting so at least they got one thing right! Being able to highlight and quote part of a post is also nice.
Are you glad you asked me for feedback?
