Surprise! This new design has been in the works since around the end of September 2014 and we have sent previews around to people a few times, but it's now live!
The design work was done by FireDart Studios who did an excellent job at responding to my constant annoying feedback about issues that bugged me on our current design.
It took me a little while to implement everything correctly code-wise, and after several times of nuking certain bits of old back-end code and re-writing it's now all working correctly (I hope!).
Thanks to our community
A big thank you to our supporter Mirv who fronted the cash prize to this web designer for doing it for us. Also, thanks to Half-Shot for fixing up the comments 'like system' for the new design, as I know it's actually used quite a bit and enjoyed by people.
We all hope you like it and hopefully it will see us through 2015 and beyond! It feels really great to have a much more professional design, and gives me personally more energy in working on the website further. It's a really great time for GamingOnLinux, and see below for why!
Quoting a user
It now inserts a quote into the comment box, with a new line, so now quotes won't bunch up! The quote system was also re-done, so there may be some very minor issues with it, but we found it to work perfectly every time.
Dark theme
The dark theme is still available for GOL Premium users, but it's not final yet, still needs some adjustments, but it's nearly finished! Don't report issues on it yet.
GOTY Awards
Our first GOTY awards will open soon!
Thank you for all of your support, onwards and upwards!
Please report all issues here.
Ps. I am away this weekend for work and family, so things may be quiet. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Nope, it's not. Return a 404 (yes, cache is cleared, I'm a hobby webdev myself :))
Also, if you click on your nickname in the topbar, the url simply is:
"http://index.php/?module=account_links" and thuss invalid. Please fix!

Kudos, This is much easier on the eyes for me. It is also scaling well on both my tablet and phone with Firefox. Easily readable on both. Congrats!
