We have a new Site Layout

The Marapets 10th Birthday celebration has begun! Look forward to a whole month of special events, surprises and prizes to celebrate us being around for a DECADE - starting with a brand new site layout!!

Please be patient with us over the next couple of days while will adjust and tweak it to perfection.

This layout takes forever to refresh and has a massive gap at the top, which is making it impossible to restock. Look, the graphics are great, but the flashing is hurting my eyes when you load a page so that I can't even play for more than 10 minutes without needing a break.

Hey guys, great job on the layout! I'm just going to post a bunch of feedback of small problems I have with it here in the hopes that you guys will read it. c:

- The ads are still placed awkwardly so that if someone is using adblock, it just creates necessary space. I would turn it off if the ads were not pushing the website around so much.

- Not completely responsive. You can't go smaller than about 960px, and yes as you scroll the layout is plain and boring.

- The top menu can be hard to read and should have clearer separators for the drop-downs, as well as should not be fading. I should be able to hover quickly over them in a line and see each title immediately.

- The day/night layout idea is fantastic, except that the Marapets day and night tend to be too small and can be hard on the eyes when it changes. Possibly give us the option to set a layout and put an indicator on the top bar for whether it is night or day. Just a suggestion.

- Now this is a big thing, but two sidebars/top bars seems unnecessarily cluttered. Consider merging some of the content or possibly add the ability for users to edit their sidebars/top bars.

(Edit: I'm going to add things as I find them to this post. )

- Edited addition: The links to all the different kind of games at the bottom of each link under the first drop-down menu seems a little unnecessary.

- Edited addition: The spacing of certain things in the center is not all the same, an example is the banner on this news post touches the lines but the forum answers do not.

Otherwise, this is just fantastic. It's been centered, there is now games and other things in the top more conveniently, and the artwork is just continuing to amaze me. Keep up the good work Ian, and the mysterious artist who continues to do fantastically!

Someone mentioned flashing so much she was having trouble..... Hmmmm! I don't see any flashing and I have been all over the site.

Seems readable to me, even the drop down boxes and I have very old eyes. I am not having trouble.

I don't mind the spacing. And for restocking, now, others might have a chance to get something.

Looks great to me. I am really enjoying this layout. Very uncluttered and easy to navigate, at least for me anyway.

I really wish y'all would stop fixing it up too much, I mean when I first started playing Marapets it was so simple and I knew it was going to be a classic game for me to go back to to remind me of the old days.. now i don't even know. I know you guys are just trying to make it better, but not too modernized. :crazy:

This layout is actually really super cute. I'm not normally a huge fan of the more cartoon/childlike artwork (like how most of the new pets are being drawn as- I miss the thin, crisp lines) but this looks nice.

It was a little strange getting used to being boxed in with colors again, but I'm so happy that it's back. My favorite layout was the blue/green striped one and the colored background reminds me of it.

The top toolbar is snazzy. I love the way the black looks up there. I think it's a nice break and doesn't look out of place.
