Keep in mind, this is just a sample screenshot sample and obviously not exactly how the final design will look once it's all filled in with content and background graphics. Please let us know what you think of the new layout as it's going to be a work in progress that we'll be adding onto in the coming weeks. And just so you know, that box above the "Latest News" area is where we'll be displaying new media as it comes in. Should be really nice. So yeah, make sure you post some feedback about it to help us continue to improve things here on Diablofans!
Hope you guys are all excited about this and BlizzCon. Just so you know, we WILL be holding live chats once again this year for ALL of the Diablo-related panels at BlizzCon. It was a huge success last year and everybody had fun getting the live up-to-the-minute updates, so we had to do it again. Make sure you're here on Diablofans at the appropriate times so you can join in the chatroom discussion with us!
Here's the current schedule for our live chats just so you're aware of them:
FRIDAY:
Diablo 3 Heroes & Monsters Panel
2pm - 3pm (PST)
SATURDAY:
Diablo 3 Q&A
11:30am - 12:30pm (PST)

Nope, I believe mockery said in the OP that he would like input from everyone about this in this thread. You can also always give suggestions in the Site Suggestions & Questions forum.
Please tell me the redesign is not changing the forum into a place with oversized texts and horrible layout as well, like so many forums have done in an "overhaul" of their site and it -never- looks better.
>__> Gee, thanks.
Yes, pretty much.
Anyways can't wait for blizzcon.
Mockery said the graphics aren't done yet so I'm sure we'll be getting some sexy custom nav buttons.
So about the design. First let me say I love the positioning of the login box. Very nice. Not so sure I like the removal of the quick links. I personally don't use them very much but it's nice to have them there. They help organize things.
I'm looking forward to the new themed graphics of course but I have a suggestion. Considering this community is filled with talented artists, I suggest holding a graphics contest to let the members get a chance to design the background images. NOT the layout itself but just the graphics that will replace the defaults. And who knows maybe you'll end up with a bunch of cool themes.
The fonts are way too big. The banner will need an overhaul, which can also be a fan contest. Ads don't bother me. They're a necessary evil. And that one's kind of funny.
That would depend on where you live I'd say.
So, I think the last hour before the day would be over for PST in EST time would be 3:00 AM EST. So we still have a window of ten and a half hours if he's going by PST time.
If you live in GMT +2 than it is 10 hrs ahead of California which would be 12 midnight. Just choose the time at origin and keep adding 1 hr if you are moving to the left. If you are moving to the right then you subtract 1 hr.
I unfortunately will be at work during both times but I was wondering how the live chat works. I will have my Iphone on me and I hope that whatever program it uses is supported on my phone. Does anybody know?
Yeah, I went back on the post to see if I missed something, but he only said to come on Diablofans at the appropriate time, so I was almost worried
edit: although, you could rework the top nav bar to mesh a little better with the rest of the page, especially when on the Forums, BlizzTracker, and Blogs pages.
