Totally thought I typed in the wrong URL, but the changes are at first glance very pretty! I kind of liked the darker colors from before (easier on the eyes) but nicely cleaned up overall! Congrats!
I am so confused. And I agree it's way too bright.

i hope the white will not cause our batteries to run out quicker on our lapties, tabies and phones

Congratulations! Much crisper and cleaner...and still the same, great content!
Thanks for the early kudos, we're mid-rollout at the moment and then will share a bit more of the how/why.

I really love it! Looks so clean and organized. Will take some getting used to, but it's gorgeous.
I like the button on the bottom that takes you to the top of the page. And the black was nice and all but my eyes had to readjust when I visited other sites.
I was REALLY surprised, but I mostly like the change. It feels much cleaner and colorful.

Too too busy. The eye is not directed to anything in particular. Why two rotating story headlines at the top of the page. I feel like it's a slot machine. Everything is rolling at once. Ugh.

Feels very mobile, very portable, very today.
Although troll pictures mess up the margins.
It's interesting that it doesn't expand to fit your screen. This is probably great, like Namo said, when you're on the go/mobile, but from my desk half of my screen is empty now.
I like it, too. For one thing, it loads MUCH faster than the older version.
My only suggestion would be maybe to replace the white with a muted gray to make it easier on the eyes. But it's definitely an improvement over the previous look.
For anyone who's feeling a little nostalgic...

Im thinking YAHOO should've hired ROB to freshen up their page and logo. He could've done it for far less and maybe even spread around the wealth with some of his favorite posters! haha
The layout is great and it's very fast. I just wish the background wasn't bright white. It's hard to look at the screen for too long now.
And while we're talking improvements, is anyone else seeing blocked users when they reply to a thread? Their posts pop up in the recent replies beneath the input box but not when you're just scrolling through the thread. It's distracting and unwelcome.

Unfortunately, Trent, that has always been the case. It's not a glitch. It's how the feature works.

Will you be looking into all of the funky margins and the brightness of the white background, Rob?
Mobile app is kinda screwy. Excited for the new look though.
