So far I love it! Everything is in a place that makes sense to me, except for the breadcrumbs. For everything else being pretty and knew, I can live with that one.

I feel exactly the same way! I like the points displayed in the corner but I still can't find the forum.

How do you bookmark something, by the way?

Oops! I meant to say "pretty and new" not "pretty and knew"...

That's probably not new. We had that feature before. Or is it different now?

I feel that it's looking too much like a social networking site and less like a store site.
I agree. It looks a lot more like SNS and less like a store with reviews.

Coming late to the party... but I have to scroll right and left to see everything as well, and I really dislike having to do that. I had to search all around to find the forum, and I don't really think having it listed under a link that says 'play' will lead anyone new here.

I miss the upcoming products display that used to be at the bottom right of the front page. Is there another page we can access that? I know you can see the upcoming products on the separate companies page, but I can't find that page with the new navigation.

All the white actually started giving me a migraine. *whimpers*

This used to happen to me on many websites, so I have permanently adjusted the brightness on my monitor. I don't seem to have that problem nearly as much anymore.

Ooh, that would be terribly convenient. I keep missing messages because I never think to look on my profile for the notification.

definitely waaay too much white space and the new navigation is awkward. I like the idea of tabs to navigate between work/play, but the colors helped break everything up so it wasn't just a big white mess

(hah! unintentional!)

The space is bothering me too. Everything feels sterile and all the white is pretty bright which hurts my eyes a bit. Okay now I'm offically a complainer.

I have noticed some changes were made since I last looked this afternoon. The community page has been moved to the top making it easier to access, that's the only thing I've noticed so far but I'm not really actively looking. Still this makes me think changes are still being made.

Hated to say it, but I had the same issues. I'm STILL having trouble. Seems a lot more complicated and maybe the lack of color like it was before is causing me to have a hard time seeing things.

I thought the same! I too have to zoom and I have a HUGE computer screen. My laptop is an entertainment PC and it's much bigger than most and still I have to zoom. Lol. I have to admit, the last EF site was much nicer, easier and user friendly. Everything just looks like it's gone haywire to my eyes.

I still think I like the old version better. I would rather see a vertical layout more than a really wide screen stretching layout. I mean it was wide before but it had a long vertical list and I liked that. I also think it's a little too white and plain. At first I refreshed the screen a bunch of times thinking it was a glitch. It wasn't obvious to me that it was a new layout. I also prefer to have the login button on the left side corner and not the right. There's little things that are confusing but I've been able to navigate pretty well. Overall, I like the old version. I'm not good with change.

Still don't mind it too much, but the extra step to access my profile is getting on my nerves and I am finding the site really, really boring with all the white. Had to adjust the brightness on my monitor to account for all of the white. Still don't mind all of the tabs on the top. Can someone please tell me how to find Eden Cafe? Can't find it at all and it's getting super frustrating.

Seriously, when did Eden get so boring with all of the white? I can see new comers not really getting the true sense of Eden from the homepage. That's kinda sad. Us regulars will adjust just fine after a couple of weeks, but if you lose a few or some aren't coming as regulatory, I really wouldn't be surprised. It's really uninviting now.

Three out of five stars for now.

Yes, I did this and it just froze up on me. I've never had that happen before.

The only place I found a link to Eden Cafe is way at the bottom of all pages.

I don't know where anything is anymore. I can't get to my profile, the taks or anything.

I will have to figure out how to change the brightness on my monitor. thanks for that idea. cuz seriously, it is migraine inducing. It is going to limit the time I am able to spend on EF otherwise.

Thank you, that works now. It's going to be hard to navigate and get used to.

I read through all the comments. Giving people free stuff really does brainwash them (keep up the good work). The white background, great idea. The rest is a FAIL. One of the most user unfriendly sites i have seen. When sales plummet, you'l know why. Internet traffic that gets driven here through search engines will take one look at this and bolt.

"I feel that it's looking too much like a social networking site and less like a store site." That's what I thought, too. Not sure if that was the intent or not. I don't necessarily dislike it, but it doesn't look like a site that's for a business.
