I'm having to give myself a stern talking to if I find myself looking at ANY thread other than the Shenkuu one on board 7 x'D The usual suspects are loving being overdramatic about this. I want to say things like: surely they dont seriously believe things in their current state are the end product? like this is all for dramatic effect, right?? But... well, that's all that's needed really isn't it, that but. The lack of a quick stock option on the new pages is annoying. I mean it's easy to get to via a direct link, I've just been altering the url of any page, it's no hardship (no really, board 7, it isn't!) especially when all I generally need to do is type the q and it autofills the rest. But why it's not there to start with shows a worrying level of ignorance about how neo is used, I'd have thought. The people quitting in a huff, well... I looked at this board yesterday, fair amount of histrionics, with a fair amount of eye-rolling in response. I'm not going back in there though xD Pretty sure that "mass exodus" will be using the revolving door. I wonder if a lot of the ranting is basically like a security blanket? Amidst the dumpster fire of current RL, what's going on on neopets gives people known and safe stuff to scream and yell about? Now we have some themes the snow-blind effect isn't bothering me, shockingly I actually like the tis the season one the holly berry being a red neopets' star is a cute touch! I may leave it on that, until the animation annoys me, at least xD I was using the premium one which I like a lot, so I'm lucky to have that option, as the others don't do it for me at all. If I can make a somewhat inappropriate comparison: I feel that TNT deciding which aspect of the site to convert first is almost like healthcare people having to decide who gets the covid vaccine first. There's numerous things that could all do with being done first. I think it was Gutterfoot who said they started out doing the most popular stuff first; eminently sensible, then had to switch to focusing solely on flash-based things as, unsurprisingly, stuff was taking longer than expected. Probably as horrifyingly ancient code was unearthed, plus that coding standard of - change one thing, and it breaks six other entirely unrelated things.

I think, if you read through all the overly dramatic posts, that this is the exact issue a lot of people are most upset about. It's the "do they even know who's playing their game, and how?" question. Personally, while I'm not a fan of the new lay-out, I know I'll get used to it, and I understand that a lot of things are still broken (and will be for a while), because the mere thought of having to convert a code-base as old (and big) as Neo's to a completely new lay-out and platform makes me want to cry. But... it would've been nice if they'd made sure some of the basics would have been a priority. I know using the URL to go to quickstock (and, honestly, to my inventory too) is not much work, but... come on. This is such a core feature for many people, so the fact that it's apparently not even on their radar does bother me a little.

Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

yeah i'm have some trouble navigating too, but i'm sure that i'll get the hang of it as i use it more. i don't think it's necessarily ugly, just unfamiliar. my main complaint atm is the sidebar not being opened, but apparently that's coming. and i'm missing my themes, too! i used to use the constellation theme, and while it has been converted.. it's pretty ugly and fuzzy lol, so i switched to the haunted woods theme. it's not quite the same though. tnt did kind of drop the ball on not getting everything at least functional before pushing out the site. like yeah it's a huge project, and they're probably understaffed but at the same time, they've made some.. weird priorities. they should have focused on converting the pages that relied on flash first before doing pages that were just html, and now all the people that spent a ton of money on nc mall items are rightfully mad that they can't actually use them. or idk, maybe they thought that they could get all the flash done before the end of the year and they didn't realise the scope of what was needed. either way, i think everyone's going to be miserable for a while. a lot of people are quitting, but most of them will probably be back eventually. hopefully everything will be a little more functional by then. i'm going to stick around because i'm mostly in it to just chill and write and browse the forums. idk maybe i just have a high tolerance for unfinished stuff. what amazes me is how many people on the forums.. didn't know that classic was going away at the end of the year? (or those who want there to be both a classic site and a mobile site.. like tnt were barely able to maintain one site, i don't think they could manage two.) the rest of the outrage is kind of to be expected, though. it's a pretty big change, and add in everything that's broken, or unreachable without navigating through half a dozen different menus and yeah.. it's not exactly a fun time.

Having a hard time getting used to it, as Neopets already switched it over (to "mobile). Some things I can find, and others, well, I'll eventually find them. It seems strange, though. Some links take you back to "classic" looking Neopets. Feels like a Frankenstein-owian conversion. And, the games seem laggier than usual, but, at least I did earn NP. *Sigh* I think it will take a bit more time for me to get used to. Oh, I do miss my themes. The new "Tis The Season" is ok, but want my "Grey Day".
