Surprise! This new design has been in the works since around the end of September 2014 and we have sent previews around to people a few times, but it's now live!
The design work was done by FireDart Studios who did an excellent job at responding to my constant annoying feedback about issues that bugged me on our current design.
It took me a little while to implement everything correctly code-wise, and after several times of nuking certain bits of old back-end code and re-writing it's now all working correctly (I hope!).
Thanks to our community
A big thank you to our supporter Mirv who fronted the cash prize to this web designer for doing it for us. Also, thanks to Half-Shot for fixing up the comments 'like system' for the new design, as I know it's actually used quite a bit and enjoyed by people.
We all hope you like it and hopefully it will see us through 2015 and beyond! It feels really great to have a much more professional design, and gives me personally more energy in working on the website further. It's a really great time for GamingOnLinux, and see below for why!
Quoting a user
It now inserts a quote into the comment box, with a new line, so now quotes won't bunch up! The quote system was also re-done, so there may be some very minor issues with it, but we found it to work perfectly every time.
Dark theme
The dark theme is still available for GOL Premium users, but it's not final yet, still needs some adjustments, but it's nearly finished! Don't report issues on it yet.
GOTY Awards
Our first GOTY awards will open soon!
Thank you for all of your support, onwards and upwards!
Please report all issues here.
Ps. I am away this weekend for work and family, so things may be quiet. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Quoting: EikeThis has been sorted for the next update, when the window is half-size on my monitor the images are smaller, but any smaller screen-size/window-size than 768px makes them pop up bigger (phone/tablet size screen).Quoting: liamdaweThe main list images are almost the same size as the old ones FYI.
I found out more on this one. When the browser is full screen, the images are of reasonable size and three news fit on my screen. But if I resize my browser to a width of say 1100 pixels, the images get much larger (about 700 * 440) and only 1 1/3 news fit on the screen (height wise).
In case you wonder, I regularly use a smaller browser width in order to get text lines of less width. They are easier to read (that's why newspapers use several columns).
Also working on stopping the quote/like buttons overlapping poster info when screen size is small and a few other little bits.

Hi!
For me the biggest problem is that I can't seem to be able to sort the sales page by clicking in the columns name like it used to work. I normaly allways check what it's about to expire and now I can't anymore.
I also can't put my desura link or distribution in the user cp page.
I am using chromium in ubuntu 12.04
