Why does it say that you are logged in but it still gives you the chance to sign in on the front page. This may confuse some people
Considering Small Redesign to Chess.com - Thoughts?

I have a coupled of ideas to make the page "looks more attractive" but i guess these will not "fit" with the "standarts" of the page
feel free to suggest!
yes, this design is meant to be a subtle move forward, not a dramatic change.
You said that because you hadn't heard the foolish things I've prepared...
but you may want to change the photo from the live chess page...
When this is from? I've never seen it looking like this...
Edit: really, I like it, if not i would say something like c'mon! or so...

I like it. Especially the green header instead of the current boring, cold, grey one. The background might be a bit warmer tone instead white which is sort of harsh for the eyes. Yellow/tan/woodlike such as #FFFF99 or similar, which would accompany the green, might be a bit softer.
Anyway.Go for it, I say.

Much more attractive concept. Less clutter - no opening of the day etc, no surveys. Boxing the home page within a dark frame gives a look of strength and orderly arrangement.

I guess that things will not disappear, just he doesn't use a screen large enough to capture the full page.
I don't know if the page will display the botton

not sure if this would be too much work, but it would also be nice if you could select the items you want to have shown on the frontpage... like some may not read blogs, while others are not interested in chess news, and others never watch the videos or go to the forums... it would be great if you could select your own layout in your settings or something.
as for the small changes, I think it looks better that way :)

Well in my opinion i think this redesign makes the home page look more appealing. and is a bit better. :)
Yes.
I agree with this as well.
Also, and this is a subtle point: darker images use less power. Just the environmentally-friendly part of me speaking.

It's fine- neither good nor bad. It's just a simple face lift so any changes every onece in a while are definately welcome.

Actually, with modern LCD monitors, lighter colors use less energy.

As for the original topic, I think the new design looks nice, though personally I don't really care.
I like it. It's much cleaner and sleeker. That's the main thing I think chess.com can work on, layout and design
it makes it more sleek and a lot more appealing! Great design!!!
