CloseCan't comment, I'm too much in the habit of telling a RMN tab to do something then switching to another tab and getting back to the RMN one eventually 
(Does feel faster right now but we need pewdiepie to LP another game on here so we can get another stress test and really see the results!)
e: Case in point Kentona beat me to the same joke by eight minutes!

*gasp* It's true!
The site is way faster now, and the frontpage looks nice too. Awesome!

the site certainly is faster. I also like how much more room is in the new layout.

The new front page sure looks spiffy.
And yeah, RMN is now moving at the speed of light. Let’s just hope it stays that way.

Well, I didn't notice too much of a slow down before (except when editing posts sometimes) so I've yet to notice any improvements regarding the site's speed. Then again, maybe I'm just used to wait, my internet connection is crap most of the time anyway.
Regarding the frontpage... I like it. It sure is more readable and engaging now that there are more pretty pictures on screen, but it's still a bit too heavy on text and other unnecessary elements. Here's a mock-up of what I think it could be done to further improve it. Mind you, this is a very rudimentary shop, but the idea is to make room for fancier banners and stuff. Notice I moved around some things too, and look at the new pop-up "important" message. Dunno if it'd be possible to make it appear on log-in or something, but is a neat idea.
Also, the sections "What's buzzing" and "What's written" currently take too much vertical space. The first one could fit more than three entries if they were a bit lighter on text. As for the second, nearly 50% of its space is being wasted by the title alone, so I don't know if something could be done about that. Although, if you ask me, that section would be better off moved to the Development portal entirely.
And last but not least. PU-lease! Move up the blogs section. In importance/# of updates, they should go: Reviews, Blogs, Articles, Media.

The site is like 10,000% faster now. Thanks for doing whatever you guys did.
About the front page, I have two gripes. One is cropping done on all the thumbnails, plus text covering 30% of what remains. Most of the thumbs look bland and indistinct. This should be an image's chance to shine, but they suffer from crucial parts of the shot being sliced out.
Second, only one random screenshot? That's bullshit. I found a lot of buried treasure via that section of the page. It also serves as a means for visitors to dig up old projects and move them back to the front page for a second wind. If anything, that section should've been expanded to three or four rows, not downsized to a single spot in the bottom right corner.

^ On that subject, I think it could be possible to reduce the "Buzzing games" and "New & notable" sections to only three rows, and make room for the "Random screenshots" section just like it was before (two rows are more than enough). And instead of a single random screenshot, implementing that "Art of the moment" idea that was suggested a while back...

For example, my notice bar didn't flash regarding slash's post until I did a refresh.
That's always been the case for me, I've never gotten informed of the new notice until I refreshed or went to a new page, never while on one.
the random image search was consuming about 90% of the rendering time for the front page generation, that's why I reduced it to 1 image. We were experiencing severe performance issues and I made the sacrifice. Random screenshots were one of my favorite features too but it was too expensive for the front page. you can still see a selection of random images on the Images page (under GAMES).
Is it just me or the devportal became an assortment of screenshots without links, except for the left-top screen? ;;
Besides that, site looks and feels awesome, even more than before.

Can you modify it so the images are randomly selected by the site every 30 seconds to 1 min, then those same shots are shown to all visitors throughout that duration?
author=JosephSeraphno that's a bug. I will fix it Monday.

I noted the same slowdown for XMLHttpRequests too. But it works, so keep it the good uptime you have.

Just a random thought, but ever since the speed upgrade my notices have been constantly rolling in. I can't keep up. Refresh a page, a new notice appears.
You must be seeing it in the site traffic stats.

author=DyhaltoI checked and traffic is down, even compared to last year. This January has been slow!
