It does remind me of a very old layout, something from 2002/2003 possibly.

I don't mind it, to be honest, I just hate having to get used to it. :p

DenDen...? Is it... is it you? :'(

I preferred the old layout, but then again this looks so much like the old DenDen it's almost freaky! Can't wait to have a fight because someone called us Spaniards retarded :x

Anyway, I guess I'll get used to it soon and it'll be fine. Also joined the Last.fm group!

I don't know if it's the hayfever, the 3 hours of sleep due to terrible thunderstorms or this new layout but the MOMENT that I started reading DenDen I got a headache and sore eyes, literally :(

the colours really hurt my eyes. :'( Plus it looks that the text we write here isn't fully black?! :dizzy: It's somehow transparent and it kinda gets mixed with the background color.

Now you mention it, it does blend in, maybe that causes the headaches... cause it strains my eyes witht he brain thinking/acting like my glasses are a bit off... Don't have it on other websites...

I HATE the wideness of the forum now. Probably only takes some time to get used to, but it was SO much better in a smaller frame.

It's like the old days! It's going to take some getting used to but I've been around long enough to see a bunch of changes and it doesn't take long to get into the new format. Thanks for all your hard work, Dennis, and for taking into account the wants of the members! (:

Other than that, I'm good ;)


This! I can't tell if there are new posts in subforums like Movies & TV, Books or Disney Animation, so I HAVE to click there to know if anyone posted something. The other way (when the subforum name was in Bold when there were new posts) was better.

...and This!

It would help a lot if posts were in different colors, like it was before.

Plus I think the other layout was "sleekier", or "poshier", this one feels like a bit amateur-ish. I'm not feeling the font :p
But I guess we need time to get used to it.

So bright, that definetly woke me up now. Still not a fan of the layout, but it could be worst (I've seen all black forum, yikes). The search box displays funny caracters, I don't have the time to screencapture, right now, will do later.

I like this!

I`m intruged by that last.fm thingy. But I still dont understand how it works! ;D lol!
Guess I`m a bit old as well.

Can I connect it to my personal iTunes? If I do so, will it take play counts from there over to last.fm? Or will it start from scratch with the play counts when I sign up?

You sign up on Last.FM and register a username & password and get a profile page. You download a software. This software installs plugins to your music players (for windows: iTunes, Windows Media Player and Winamp). A few players, such as foobar & VLC already have it installed from scratch (also works on smartphones, and even on iPods once you re-connect them to your computer(. Whenever you play a song with the correct ID3-tags, it submits this information to last.fm and counts it, no matter which player you use (so it counts your iTunes listens and your phone-listens for example).

In the intial setup, you can indeed have your previous iTunes-stats sent to last.fm and after a few hours to days (depending on the amount of plays and the busyness of their servers), these show up on your profile.

Now it combines this data to personal charts (which you can sort by timeframe and whether artist- or title-charts). It also connects the things you listen to. Let's say for Pop, you listen to Spice Girls and Steps. Someone else listens to Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys. Another person listens to Steps and Backstreet Boys. From this data (submitted by millions of people), it gathers a musical "neighborhood" for each artist and suggest you to listen to Backstreet Boys as well, as you might like it. It had some suggestions for me that left me open-mouthed, wondering how I could miss the perfect type of band for me. At another time, it suggested the Backstreet Boys and I wanted to spit at the website in disgust ;)

So yeah, it's great for statistics-freaks, but it's also great for "safe" discoveries of artists.

and the top is just... well... not pretty
(but that's the least important part since I don't really see it when I read the forum)

I like the new font a lot though!!


Exactly.... my reaction when I saw this mess was

Maybe in time the good old green one can come back....

I love it so much! It's like when you rearrange a room after it being the same for so many years. It's so refreshing!

Thanks for that! I will definitely check this out!
Just registrered, but I will download that software to my computer at home later on ;)

Btw, if I want to listen to that Denden Radio thing...does it cost anything?
