| Flash contents = BAD
Thumbs WAY down on this one.
And I'm getting more than a little irritated by the auto-assumption that everyone has a monitor set at greater than 800x600! I have a small, cheap monitor! Have some pity on those of us who actually spend money on WotC PRODUCTS instead of other tech-toys!
Which should I buy? Another couple cases of minis, or a 17" monitor?[V] | |

A 17" monitor. Nay, a 19" monitor. It's the most-freaking-important component of your computer. You spend all your time at the computer looking at it. I bought a 21" monitor as soon as I could afford one, and monitors in general are ridiculously cheap right now. You should treat your eyes better. | |

That's nice. The old site could be very slow at times and now it sounds as if it's even slower. [eyes] | |

| I know the I have broadband and pehaps a majority out there as well but flash is not a good idea for people who remain in the 56k modem world, the site imho, should have a low-badnwidth and high-bandwidth section.
The new front page is bleh! The old style told you it was a portal to the different sections, this one just blends in with the rest of the site and it is not as obvious as to what its purpose is. | |

| Dont like flash, i have to fix it all day long at work.
But did anyone else notice the large flash box in the middle with all the different product lines is missing DDM. They have AAM and SWM but no DDM. | |

How can you see anything on a weensy little 21" monitor? [:D]
I went to a 32" widescreen TV which supports VGA. Best investment in the under $1000 category. I rarely suffer from eye strain anymore (except when painting minis of course).
My biggest complaint with the new WotC home page is the nearly impossible to locate link to DDM. | |

| Bleh. Hate flash even when I`m at work on cable instead on home with 56k.
Wow Magic wallpapers for phones :/
I saw a link to DDM pretty easy along left side?
Seems to have lots of unnessary bells.
Oh well. not like I visit the main page much anyway.

I think that's the best way to handle it.
And it'll allow me to continue to drop my cash on minis instead of a cable modem or "actual size" monitor. [)] | |
