#EdenUpdate - New Homepage & Layout (do you like it?)
04/05/2012
Is there any way it could be made a bit less wide? Seriously, while I can get used to using the new tabs to navigate, the width of the page is not something I can get used to because it isn't an issue of learning it.
It's kind of sad that those who may have a physical issue (like reading small text) will now have a less enjoyable and more difficult experience due to these changes. It's really disappointing to me that no one has addressed this issue (even just to say something about it) yet.
I have to leave my browser permanently zoomed, and this is not an issue on any other website I visit. (And I visit a TON of different websites.) So it is just a matter of Eden's layout. Which is sad, and makes it feel like Eden is more of amateurishly designed site.

I love the update - everything feels much more easily navigable! Thanks for the improvement.

I LOVE that you can edit a post.

Another thing I am not liking is the lack of having tabs when you are on the Forum. I use to answer a question and go back to the section I was in, but now I have to go back to the forum all over again.

That part has not changed. We could always edit posts, just not after someone replied after us. That is still the case.

Remember how when you would click on a toy (say a vibrator) then at the top you could access other vibrators by clicking the word at the top of the screen? That is gone. Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about but I miss that and hate that it's gone.

like at the top it would say something like sex toys-vibrators-discree t (or clirotal)-Mimi
something like that? I wish they would put those links back.

Yes, this is the same thing that I was talking about with the forum. It was a short cut to go back to the whole list. Now you have to go to the top and refine your search again. I don't like that.

That's also now at the bottom of the page. For threads, I don't mind, but for product pages, this is a really poor location.

One thing I'm not crazy about is that it seems there was an attempt to streamline things. However, I don't like that you have to switch between "Shop" and "Play." Can't all of the options be listed in two rows instead? And I'll agree with the previous poster that I don't like that accessing my personal profile and account page now take an extra click to access. These are frequently accessed pages for all of us and should be easily accessible.
Why is there no tab for Eden Cafe at the top?

I was wondering that myself. Now, one important thing to keep in mind---This has just been up for a few hours, I know they are still working to get the new layout streamlined and tidied up. While it is new and unusual for us regulars, EF is still busting their butts to finalize and make the small changes and tweaks that come with a re-design of a web payout.

Also, as a site gets bigger and expands, it does need to streamline and compact its pages down so they stay in their allotted page/gigabite/ etc. allowance. This layout sure does work a lot faster for my slow rural wireless card!!!
SO-lets also give them a chance to finish their job before we eat them alive like sharks circling a lifeboat.

Eden looked unique before, this layout oddly reminds me of babeland. And I agree with Kindred I wish it was to bars instead of clicking 'shop' or 'play'
though some things are nice, the showing the eden points thing is neat.

HORRIBLE use of white space. Seriously guys?
There are some nice additions. Points showing the corner, for instance. But on the whole, it's rubbish. It lacks personality. It hurts the eyes. There's not enough color. Some of the fonts are ridiculously small.

It's a little confusing and overwhelming right now.

I was going to say the same thing, that the first thought I had was that it reminded me of Babeland. I like the cleanliness and all, but it's a little too clean.

I'm not a fan yet. It needs to fix the way to get to your own page. I don't know how to get to it without tpying in my name. I use EF on two computers. One my old on it is too big to fit the screen and on my new computer everything is fine. As long as you fix the page to my homepage would be big for me. If not I will leave EF.....not really. I love this place.

I've always had to scroll left and right on the Eden homepage due to that, but not much and not on the forums or anywhere else, only the homepage. This new layout is so wide that I have to scroll left and right a TON and now on every part of the site rather than just the homepage.
So, my options are reduce the zoom to a level that makes it difficult and uncomfortable to read, or scroll left and right a ton all the time to be able to access all the features.
Sorry to be a complainer, but it's really disappointing that it's gone from really easy for me to use... to really inconvenient for me to use. less

I didn't look at the bottom for that stuff, thanks for informing me!
I see it now, I wonder if they can move it back up to the top?

I squealed when I saw it! My S.O. always said the only thing missing from Eden was a cleaner page layout. I love how I can see my points, too.

Two other things I've noticed:
1. Our media library is gone. I mentioned this to JR but thought I would post it here as well.
2. I can't seem to find a link to EdenDVD.

My first reaction, as my reaction to any change, is that I hate it.
I'm sure I'll get used to it in time, but I hate change
