I feel like a n00b again, this new site layout is confusing.
I like!
No thanks!

No kidding. I mean, finding my own profile is a chore; figuring out where and what I've posted is impossible... in short, anything me-related is way too difficult. (And it's all about me.)

I've been here since Ben made it and everyday there's some new guy/girl who doesn't understand things and makes a post about it. So it must be REALLY difficult for some people, but I just don't understand how.

hence the word "newbie"
i joined like an hour ago and it took me a while to figure out how things worked

Yeah, but... it isn't hard. Even when you first join. Maybe if you are new to the internet. Then I could understand.

When Ben sobers up from SXSW, he will be happy to hold your hands skipping through the internets.

Well Ginger thank you for making me feel like an ass. I knew someone was going to make a similar comment sooner or later.
Anyway, my point was that this whole thing is less streamlined than the original Consu. And less colorful. Not that I couldn't figure things out with a few clicks. But at least with the other site you could literally see everything from the front page. This is kind of muddled. Also, I'm sure Ben Brown is a very nice person, but I would appreciate it if he did not hold my hand. I am not three.

@Jessie - Also...you must realize that this site is still in the Alpha stage. There is still stuff that needs to be implimented. Give it some time, and I'm sure they will improve things.

Hey, I know you too! HOLA MISTER JAY! Welcome to this filthy dumping ground of internet refugees.
Bats! said, (261 days ago)
@Jay: I'm sure they said the same thing about the original Consumating too. I've seen screencaps, and they looked pretty pitiful. So you're probably right. Make with the cool stuff Ben Brown, you bearded hippie!

@Jessie - It reminds me of when they made a design change to Consumating...there was a HUGE uproar about that. People just like what they're used to. Then eventually, they get used to the changes and they forget that changes even happened. :)

The first week or so, the wording and stuff with the buttons was kind of confusing unless you just explored it out real quick, but I thought ben put some info up about what everything does. Anyway, this sites not exactly done being made yet, I think Ben even asked for help and gave out the style sheet so people could give some color scheme ideas or layouts, a little while back. My hope is that at some point there will be the option to embed .swf files.
Anyway, not going the Batgirl rout this time? You already confused someone who couldnt figure out that theres like at least 4 people named Jesse/Jessie from consumating and only 1 administrated.

@Rick: Well, I'll be glad when Ben Brown puts up a link so I can manage all the conversations I'm posting in, I don't feel like searching for them. :/ Also, I *thought* I made my sn here Batgirl. I guess I'm just inept at this place. Also I have a funny link for you, Rick.

@ Jessie : Clicking on Replies under the My Team section allows you to easily access conversations you've posted in. The most recent ones at least.

@Art: ohhh, I didn't see that before. See this is why I shouldn't be allowed to play on the internet.
yes, i agree... i feel a little lost... and we have to be on teams?
