wow this will take a while to get use too. would it be possible to get the boxed navigation on the top? without looks soo plain.
its really wiiiide.
look forward to having the skins back. Latte would be coming back right?

edit: aww man no affiliates link at the bottom?

also its great you didn't change the 100x100 icon for the 1.0 layouts. when i saw the new icon for the 2.0 i was dreading if it was the same for the 1.0

hmm im not sure how the boxed nav will look but ill give it a try internally. i should be able to port latte / mocha (without the boxed nav so far).

the affiliates are now at top. wanted to give it more exposure as an incentive for people to join.

what 100x100 icons? most of the thumbnails have been resized (html) but hasnt yet been properly resized (image) so they all look pixilated. ill make a script tonight to automagically resize and fix this.

Yeah -- looks good, but now I have to scroll horizontally!

you need to use 1024 x 768 resolution or more. if its windowed, youll have to resize the browser accordingly.

you should keep Wp layouts, I tried submitting couple times but they never made it to the que :[ and Im sure there have been people who submitted, but after I upload the .zip file, a blank screen comes out, unlike when I submit myspace layouts, it says either I made a mistake during submission, or it will take a week to process the que 0_o
but I like the new CSS edit :]

the reason why i removed wp (even if the submitter wasnt working properly) is because they have their own internal theme browser which means its very very unlikely someone whos trying to set up wordpress will look for themes outside of wordpress.org. mt just isnt popular anymore, since they still use perl, when php has taken over the hosting industry 5 years ago.

You should have gotten rid of the Hi5 layouts, and kept the WP & MT, those are starting to get more popular.

One thing I noticed (don't know how easy it is to fix):

i replied to the same question above.

Woah, this is going to take a lot of getting used to.

I like it, but all the screenshots for the resources are super pixelated. That's the only thing that's bugging me.

the screenshots will be fixed tonight, once i finish a script to resize and reupload everything.

I agree on keeping the WP layouts too. I've been working on a few for submission.

since wp already has a theme selector internally i think it would be unlikely that anyone would look for themes elsewhere.

I think it was poorly done, and rushed imo. It is too cluttered, and you said you wanted it to look more professional. But I think it makes it look more distasteful though.

what was poorly done? why does it look distasteful? if youre going to criticize, at least have the decency to elaborate.

Yea. I like the old layout better. And yea, Gabi's right, I hate how the some of the screenshots are pixelated. And a lot seems cluttered.

the screenshots will be fixed tonight.

I hardly ever have my windows maximized, so having to scroll a shit ton to read things is a pain in the ass. I can't even see the whole fast reply box at once, and this window is more than half the width of my screen. I'd rather have to thumb people's pictures, thanks.

if you have your browser windowed, why not make the window larger? im assuming youre in front of a large monitor, in which case, you can enlarge the windows without much effect on other things you want to see. cb has "stetched" ~200px.

yeah. the wideness is most definitely a dnw. btw jusun, are you still in boston?

whats dnw? yes im still here. =)

no the image in the layouts. The one thats used as a default image filler for the myspace layouts. Thats what i meant. Sorry to confuse you on that. And i totally didn't notice the added section the top nav. Great that its up there now. I have to say i really go agree that its a little too wide. maybe from 770px to 870? I think that 770px to 960px is far too much.

and the box nav was pretty awesome in fact it was the best feature of the last CB. it was also easier to spot. now we can accidentally end up clicking the add instead.
The search bar being under the account nav, same with the submit button, just looks weird being soo close to the rest of the links.

I like the wider screenshots, hopefully that can be fixed to look more clear.

The layout/graphic info was ok the way it was, under the ad, instead of on top.

would it be possible to box in some of the layers? like add a background color like before. Instead of all that white. I think thats whats putting people off.
