The "I Want One" button is throbbing.

Is that the new version of the button getting bouncy?

... yep.

Am I the only one who sees the throbbing button with the black edges? Do other people have a see-through tint or something?

Hmmm, that's not supposed to be happening. Would you mind clicking the "beta feedback" button top right near your username? We would appreciate it greatly.

No black halo here, using Chrome on Win7

Hey Thunderthighs, the new layout has the font for the names too big, plus the PM envelope in the way. Your name comes out as "Thunderthi..."

Well well, Woot is moving up in the world huh. I like it but man, this isnt what I usually expect out of Woot. Guess I'm going to have to stop watching woot offs in my underwear now and put on a suit.

New site is too wide & too bright.

I am seeing this same thing. I am using IE 8. I know for sure it wasn't doing this when I checked the site this morning. Also, I clicked on the "I want one" button and the "buy now" button is doing the same thing.

Tried it all, so additional feedback note sent through the Beta button. Grah. Thanks TT and Llandar.

Seems fine to me and I'm on my ACER Iconia tablet using Android 3.2

No blu-ray no buyyyyy...

don't like - don't like - don't like

the new design
to busy, to much chunk
just onther ordinary "deals" site

as of the laptop ? - don't know, slow, I think

ThunderThighs wrote:ROFL. I told them during the early tests that people would say it was throbbing. Sigh.

Is it throbbing because the deal is about to run out of time?

Throbbing button =throbbing headache. Please bring back the subtle yet effective bounce for running out of time.

ThunderThighs wrote:Yeah, what do you think? I think it works. It'll be interesting to see some of the other shortened names if we come up with some interesting ones.

Sorry, don't like that aspect.

I also don't like that it doesn't specify what time a message was posted.

Almost had a heart attack after buying a Toshiba laptop for $399 YESTERDAY. However, after looking at the specs, I'm much happier. Mine's new instead of refurb, it's got a 2.3gHz processor and a 640GB hard drive. I can live with the $100 difference for that, I can't imagine going back to a processor this slow now, and I'm not even a gamer.

I was seeing a lot of new laptops over the weekend that had more power than this one for less money with all the Memorial Day weekend sales. But then, I'm a big comparison shopper, especially when it's something I'm investing hundreds of dollars in.

ThunderThighs wrote:That's the kind of feedback we need. Could you take a moment to send it via the BETA FEEDBACK button at the top right? Please?

Already left a feedback about the lack of a time on the messages. I'll leave one about the names.

If truth be said, the only one you can really count on to like change, is a baby with with a dirty diaper. Come on woot! You can do better! By the way got my Xoom Moto speaker docks, very nice recieved them in 4 days from placing the order and better yet for $19.99 they are really nice!!!

ThunderThighs wrote:Could you put that in the BETA FEEDBACK, please? They really want feedback. Lots and lots of feedback. They're trying to scan the forums to but people are posting in soooo many places it hard to catch everything.

So I take it no Woot Clue tonight?

I'm trying to use a coupon code but it won't let me. I tried AOL & Chrome, No Worky!

jQuery animations on transparent pngs often get hosed this way in IE7 and IE8, especially if opacity or color are animating. I had it happen once just animating the X position on the screen, too. I'm not sure if it's jQuery only or all animations on transparent pngs in early IE versions, but I have seen this before a bunch of times.

Woot, if it's always going to be on a white background try the same with no alpha channel and a white background instead, that should clear it right up. There is also a fix using filters that should work:

Woot! Sold out..

The frontpage looks cluttered.

They should have gone with the more whitespace look.

/whine

But k87... we already HAVE MILES of whitespace on the forums!!! Can't you just put the preserve there?

Horrible Throbbing Glaring Yellow "buy" button ... is horrible

If the design goals were to weed out the newbies and chase them away ...
well done

On the other hand, if the design goals were to make the page more appealing, or more informative ..
I'd have to say ... -that is not what you've accomplished- ... sorry.

Look at Woot getting all fancy!!

Anyone else distracted by the shiny?
