YOU CAN CLICK THE TL BANNER INSTEAD OF THE HOME BUTTON

You can turn on the LoL forum/D3 forum by clicking 'other' in the filter.

I went ahead and made a greasemonkey script that gets rid of those buttons to the left of "Home" that I keep accidentally clicking on.

http://jjwhg.net/~jjwhg/TL_Home_Button.user.js

EDIT:

I also created two more greasemonkey scripts. One permanently opens the drop-down menu at the top-left

http://jjwhg.net/~jjwhg/TL_Show_Panel.user.js

and the second shows a "Subscribed Threads" link in that panel (I find the small, bluish-gray on grey icon way too hard to click on)

http://jjwhg.net/~jjwhg/TL_Show_Subscribed_Threads.user.js

With these three settings TL.net is pretty much back to what it was before (it still looks a bit different, but at leasts I don't have to constantly click a million times on everything).

Hopefully they're useful!

I was thinking of doing this myself. Good call.

Good job Teamliquid! I like especially that the streams are now seperated after games.

I am not too used to the new calender... I agree that the full one doesn't show much info, but a calender is a calender...

Feedback (as others have pointed out):

1. The top left part is the part you scan first with your eyes when you want to navigate on pretty much any site. I feel like having a content filter there is a waste of important space that could be used better. The content filter is something you choose to set/configure once and then you forget about it forevermore. Having a feature that you will never pay attention to occupy the most important space of your website is not a good move IMO.

Either move it to the right of everything (except the search, which is where everyone expects it to be), or make it smaller and move it to the very top (to the right of Logout, your username, PMs etc).

In my opinion the filter needs to stand out less and meld better (big enough to be noticed, but small enough not to annoy you with its irrelevancy). It's an unimportant feature that you will configure once and only once, but yet in the current design it will keep occupying the largest and most important space of your interface design.

I also went ahead and made one that shows the panel at the left by default. No sense in having too much wasted space.

Is there a way to make the "more" button's content show up automatically? I'm used to see Liquibets and Fantasy on the top page without click of a button.

Sigh designing TL.net in 5:4 is fugly. Where is 16: 9 optimization, this is 2013 after all!

Also the menu bar is wack, who in there right mind would make the raised portions asymmetrical when you have more than enough space to work with?

Im not disagreeing with you, but I am trying to point out to people saying "goodbye my posts" that it is still there.

Everybody knows that it's still accessible though. It just takes like 3 clicks to get there now instead of one.

How do I filter just streams? I used to have my filter set to just BW and Others, but now, I can't seem to do that unless I don't wanna see the SC2 section either. Which Idk, I kinda do?

I dont like how the filter stuff is on the left side of the menu bar. On most website UIs home is the left most button, since that is generally the "first" button for people, and home is the most important button. To be honest I think filter should go back to being a submenu. Filter is something you set up once and forget about, I dont want to see it every time come here.

Also, have you considered using AJAX for the filter buttons? That way you dont have that reload 'blink' every time you press a button.

Also, Forum no longer has a mousover submenu. I only ever go to the SC2 forums, so that was a nice shortcut that is now gone.

My list of problems with the new layout:

The Filter Menu shouldn't be where it is. Setting your filters is something you do only once. Why should you always have to look at this? Additionally, Most people are used to clicking home right there.
The Streams List does not have as many filtering options as it used to. I used to display all streams, sorted by viewers. Now, the Stream List is forced to display streams by game, which I don't want. I also can't filter out specific games. What if I want to see DOTA news but not DOTA streams? I can't do that.
The Profile dropdown on the top left is just an additional click that I shouldn't have to do. Why is that dropdown there if the space below it is empty anyway? That doesn't make sense. Also, the My Posts link has gone missing from the Profile.
The Forum portion of the menu bar no longer has the subforums as a rollover menu. I always used this rollover, and I don't understand why it is gone.
The Right Sidebar link in the profile page is broken: http://www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/sidebars.php

I'll update this post as more issues come to mind.

Anyone else miss the "posts" button?

I hate having subscribed threads cluttered up and it's a quick way to find a thread I posted in and want to passively follow. :p

Also the Filter buttons on the left is weird - great idea though. Move them to the right and leave the "home" set and whatnot all the way to the left.
