Hey guys! GamePro editor Sid Shuman here.

Hope you're liking your experiences on the new site. But while the developers and editors are taking a well-deserved breather, I thought I'd ask what you guys like -- and don't!-- about the new site.

Your feedback will help us decide what to add to the site in the coming months. We have some pretty big plans already in the works, but I'm interested in your feedback now on the following areas:

1) Front page: are there enough stories in the main story scroller? (it's currently at four)
2) What about the news headlines? ("Top Stories") Enough stories? Enough space for them?
3) How are you liking our new previews and reviews? Are you learning enough about the games?
4) Anything else you think I should know?

One other interesting tidbit: user reviews are probably the biggest change we've seen on the new GamePro.com. SO MANY of you are chiming in with great new user reviews -- we had something like a 1000% increase in the quantity of them. Awesome job guys -- keep 'em coming!

Thanks all, let me know what you think. =)

Sid, I am running with Internet Explorer 6. Can you please get rid of that dialog box that keeps coming up telling me I need to update to Internet Explorer 7? It gets really annoying. What is the disadvantage to having an older version anyway?

Bigger sigs. That is all.

And my user page is glitched.

agreed, a biiger avatar would be cool too, nad get rid of the damn blank glitch, that thing gets on my nerves.

Overall it pretty good. At first I was like it sucks but now that I adjusted it's better. The only complain I have is the comments section needs to be on column.

There are several reasons for requiring the upgrade, but the three biggest reasons are:

1) IE6 is *NOT* HTML Standards Compliant. IE 7 isnt either, but its a hell of a lot closer than IE6.

2) IE6 does not properly handle .PNG file alpha channel transparency, which the new site uses on several images and we plan on using even more in the future.

3) IE6 is several years old. IE8 was just released, so its two versions behind, and not doing well for its age. It is riddled with vulnerabilities and exploits that have been (mostly) plugged in more recent browsers.

In summary, we STRONGLY recommend you upgrade to IE8, FireFox, Safari or Google Chrome.
