I may be a tad bit biased but I love the new look and here's why:

- The debate title is emphasized

- The winning position is rewarded

- More details are available without a page refresh

- Active and New debate get more love

- The scoreboard gives much-deserved props to the most active users

- The blog is integrated

I love the "hot button issues" on the bottom the page, which allows you to look at topics which we debate a lot about!

I think it's pretty awesome. It's much easier to read and looks a lot more professional. In short, the CD team has maintained their high standards consistently.

I love the new front page. It's much cleaner and easier to navigate. I especially like the "Active Debates" portion of the site where you can see what debates have some new activity, even if they are older debates that have been stale for a while. Great job CreateDebate!

I absolutely love it !!! Kudos to the people who were involved in its design. My eyes aren't quite used to it yet but they will be soon. I love the hot topics at the bottom. I also love the direct connect to what's going on at CD. I'm not certain of the leader-board yet...I think it's making me nervous because my face is on top staring at me....lol.

The only thing I can possibly suggest at this point it to think about going back to listing the alerts for people on each page they are using at present so one doesn't always have to go back to the home page to check on activity and such.

A job well done everyone!

Very nice layout, but...

When you click ">> View more popular debates" and the other links with this function, it should slide out, to show everything right away and without reloading the page, that way you could easily flip through everything. The current method, clicking and taking you to the old page layout, is counter-productive. I would be completely fine with abolishing the old tiled layout all together.

I like it though, a step forward in usability and aesthetic appreciation.

I love the scoreboard, but not a huge fan of the way the debates are set up...

Hello Master-debaters...

I like the new front page...easy to navigate....I like the hot subject matter...BUT...there is always a but with me...LOL

I think the title should be bigger...it is sort of lost on the page makes me wonder if I am on the front page.

As most of you know, if you have ever been to BabyBoomerAdvisorClub (BBAC) I am more of a magazine style blog...I love pictures and am pretty eclectic.

But I do think the title should be more pronounced. Look at it from a new persons stance...or birds eye.

Well, there you have it you asked for my opinion and as you know, I am not one to hold back .

Since I haven't gotten the opportunity, I do want to mention that I am still so very happy, with the Election...I hope you'all are too.

Southern smiles and world peace,

Sharon

I like it. Now how do I make it my default page? Or better yet, can you put links on the other pages so that I can get back to it? Maybe you did and I just haven't found them yet. Oh well, I'm good at mazes as long as I can smell the cheese ;)

Looks good. Keep up the good work!

I have nothing to compare it to, as my very first visit to this site was yesterday. But I think it is great! Very easy to navigate.

I can't say I "hate" it, but I'm not used to it yet. I'm highly adaptable, but my initial response was "WTF happened?!" Give it a few days and it'll sink in.

I do LOVE that you guys aren't afraid to try new things. Keep up the awesome work! :)

I hate that the most recent, or new debates are the bottom of the list... I would have liked it to be on the top.

Don't like how once i click on new arguments and just check on one of the things, the new arguments thing is gone.

as for front page, i like it. but fix the new arguments problem.
