Contributor: Kissy Kissy
Funny how we all got tricked, because the switch over happened in the middle of the day! LOL! We were all in shock!

It's nice, i'll probably get used to it, but compared to the old layout this one feels unfinished and blocky to me. I liked the old layout better, but I do like how you have the tabs across the top now.

I think the thing that's bugging me so far is not having the "account" link in the upper left corner, since I click on that like fifty bazillion (real number) times a day.

It looks pretty minimal and clean, but it's just new.

Count me in as someone not liking the changes. After adding something to a wishlist, instead of that tab dropping straight down (and being easier to close), it pops out to the right and widens the screen where I have to scroll out to find the "close" button. Minor, sure, but I'm also having trouble with the "Grab It" button.

The "Grab It" is up on the left hand side now instead of right next to the "assignment cart" button, and when I click to grab something, the little box allowing me to choose color/scent/whatever for the product is behind the "Shop" "Play" tabs. I can't add anything to my assignment cart!

Anyone else having trouble with the shopping cart? I was trying to add the free vibe with $70 purchase it doesn't add, simply goes back to my cart. Also my discounts seem to be coming and going.

=C I hate the way the latest sex toy reviews are featured, just shoved over on the side in a text-only format. No one new will really read them that way.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! It took me a minute to find some things, but I am a fan of the new update. Great job, guys!!

visually i like it. The highlighting of Eden points looks great and i think will encourage people to shop and to participate.

However, the navigation seems so disorganized. If current members are having difficulty, I can't imagination a new person finding it easy to use.
Thoough this is just my first impression and may be clouded by not liking my cheese moved.

Just like every new site you come to, this will be familiar in no time and I am sure the administrators will keep working on it to fill in the glitches and use some of the suggestions. I would like a border to cut the glare down, but the rest of this is pretty easy once you just start clicking.

After some checking, I should say that the problems with the "Grab It" are in IE. In IE, the "Contributor" button is on the upper left. When it is changed to "Affliate", that one is on the right.

In Firefox, the "Contributor" to "Affliate" button is on the right, as well as the "Grab It" button. So things can be grabbed and colors, scents, sizes chosen in Firefox, but not in IE.

Sucks that I have to change my default browser to have things work.

I agree that it's a little overly white, which makes it feel blank. I was definitely confuzzled when I popped in today though. Still trying to find my way around. Count me as a "meh" vote.

I do like the "My Eden" feature at the top, that's nice and convenient.

While it is more compact, I HATE how the front page looks. Having the things on the side made it so simple, but now it's just hard to navigate the front page (from the view of a first-time visitor).

I like it so far.... a few things have taken a second or two to find, but it's been kinda fun hunting around

feedback and a question..
question..do affiliates need to check all their links on their website?

feedback...the sitemap only lists shopping categories, the guides are no longer linked on front page, guide to lubricants, care of vibrators, etc.

the shopping category of gender "play", what about gender expression or a category that is more inclusive.

regarding affiliate links, if they are affected, an email headsup would have been helpful.

It's still a little confusing to me and not as user-friendly as the old site I feel...I do love the my Eden ticker at the top though! It'll take some time to get used to but with time I'll figure it out.

I'm not a fan so far. I liked not having a 'drop down' to get to toy categories or the forum.

I know erotical is a word but it didn't say that before. I thought it said Erotica and educational media before.
