Quoting: Segata SanshiroI appreciate that idea.Quoting: pd12I think you need a 'finals' showdown - take the top 10 games after a time period (30 days?) then do another vote on the top 10 games ... otherwise the votes get way too diluted - with so many games! xDI agree with this, the vote is too split now. Maybe 30 days is too much though.

If true, this would belong into our hopings for 2015, but who still believes all these announcements and rumors...

In case you wonder, I regularly use a smaller browser width in order to get text lines of less width. They are easier to read (that's why newspapers use several columns).

Quoting: liamdaweThe main list images are almost the same size as the old ones FYI.I found out more on this one. When the browser is full screen, the images are of reasonable size and three news fit on my screen. But if I resize my browser to a width of say 1100 pixels, the images get much larger (about 700 * 440) and only 1 1/3 news fit on the screen (height wise).

Quoting: liamdaweAdjusted it to be in 3 columns, and upped the count. Should make finding a game easier.It looks like the paging mechanism doesn't know this yet? Most items on page 2 are already shown on page 1...

Quoting: liamdaweGood, am glad it wasn't meant to be, but that is sadly how it came across due to the wording.It was more of a general discontent with ways websites are changed nowadays (of which GoL is not the worst case) that had it's first occasion to get expressed here... Sorry for having been harsh.
Quoting: liamdaweWe wanted a way to bring attention to featured articles, and this is the way we liked. I will, however, look at adding a way for users to disable it, as it is not essential to show.In my humble opinion it shouldn't take more than say a fourth of an ordinary screen if presenting new news is important for your site.

I just see more and more web pages changing so they are probably well usable with a tablet - but losing lots of usability on PCs at the same time.
The same ist true for the new gamingonlinux outfit, at least for the part you see first when you enter the site. It yells "Not much information here buddy, sorry!" at me. Most space is taken by the featured article, which AFAIK does not change often. So when I want to visit your site several times a day, most I get is all the same every time. And only at the lowest end of the screen I can see parts of the first news article.

Quoting: liamdaweYes i am well aware more people use a PC thanks, no need to be condescending with feedback buddy.Condescending was not the intent at all, Liam.

Sorry, I find this hardly usable. Even with the browser full screen on my PC monitor, hald of the screen is filled by some image. The images for the entries in the main list are way too large as well IMHO. The fonts are quite large, and I'm saying this as someone who generally enlarges fonts from OS's default. (You do know that more people have a PC than a tablet or smart phone, right?) People get much less information on a glance now.
