Testing, Testing, 1 – 2 – 3

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

Don’t think your eyes are playing tricks on you – We are testing a low bandwidth edition of UES. What do you think?

UPDATE: This will may be used in a high load situation, but we are testing its impact on the server for the next few days to see how many resources we are saving.

    wow looks different. i guess its ok, maybe a little light?

    its shit

  • Paul

    not “shit” just too too bright need to change that. Missing the changing head of the page though.

    It loads fast as hell on wireless broadband…

  • ALEXDCD

    Wow, you gave me a trippin. Why not give everyone the option? eg if you are a cheap scammy boostards then u use the low bandwidth, general users have multimedia rich pages. Clean design of the masthead, but i little too macesque for my tastes

  • Guy

    Yahhh.. I dont like it either.. Just doesnt seem like… Uneasysilence.. you need that weird face dude thats always on top somewhere

  • sam

    Is the world really so starved for bandwidth that alternate versions of webpages need proliferate? I, for one, have several mobile devices that are web enabled, but don’t actually use them to read webpages except under the most needful circumstances. I think that instead of dumbing down the web to fit mobile devices, we should expect more capable devices to access existing content. My $.02

    I actually like it more than the previous design. This one is much cleaner. Maybe you could combine the two (keep the weird guy’s face). Though, that would defeat the purpose of your making a low bandwidth design.

  • Dan

    Agreed – Maybe there is something in between…

    Don’t worry the old layout will be back soon.

  • Dylan

    I kinda like it, provides all the functionality, how about just providing Uneasysilence in a mobil version and regular, because when Im traviling, I check up here often, but dont really have problems with the site, but this works better on my sidekick

  • Dan

    We are thinking of the two versions too.

  • Jake

    The UES designs just keep getting worse. :\

  • Dan

    I think we are going to provide the ability to switch between the two designs…

  • Chris

    just keep playing with it, it will work out in the end

    Well I’m curious to see a comparison of bandwidth and processor consumption between the two. Hope you share the data.

  • Dan

    I sure will….

    This skin will be the only one available for the next few days so I have accurate readings.

  • Justin

    it renders horribly on Mac IE

  • matt

    I’m surprised at everyone’s reactions — I actually really like this theme. It’s pretty clean, and in the end it’s the content that matters the most.

  • KeR-E

    .. i was so confused at 1st… i though i went to the wrong site hahah

    looks nice tho.. a lil confusing but nice

  • ALEXDCD

    thats much better a little colour, nice work, im just itching for some more how to’s, got any planned?

  • http://tarunactivity.blogspot.com TTA

    Yup. Thats low bandwidth all right. Looks really lite? Maybe get it ready for mobile devices? Otherwise, i too miss the big head guy. Looks clean though, with sharper graphics….

  • dek

    it’s sexy!

  • Derek

    im just itching for some more how to’s, got any planned?
