Hi everyone,

If you haven't noticed yet, Metacafe is sporting a new look this spring! Our home page now features a simpler, cleaner design that makes it easier for you to access the freshest, most entertaining videos on Metacafe.

We’ve added a Popular Now section that is updated hourly with videos that are popular now, according to what you and your fellow 30 million Metacafe viewers are watching, talking about, rating, sharing…

The My Subscriptions box has a new home on the right side of the page and now displays up to 5 channels at a time. You'll also notice the Producer Rewards box at the bottom right, which highlights a different producer and his/her videos each time you refresh the page.

We'd love to get your feedback about the new design, so please let us know in the attached poll and by commenting below.

Thanks for your help, and enjoy the new home page!

I see one big change that was not mentioned. There is no longer a Today > Most Recent page. That used to be a place where we could track our videos as they were released and then as they moved on. Now it's a complete guessing game where our video is unless.

BTW: Can you tell us what the high traffic default page is now? Is it still Today > Highest Rated?

Also, the Weekly Top Earner Chart is gone. Finally! Thanks for not sharing what everyone is making. Doesn't seem like it makes a difference in the overall scheme of things.

Thanks

kk

I found something that appears to be wrong. I located the Most Recent videos. Under the Top Videos tab there is a link for Most Recent but based on the ratings they can't be the Top Videos. Confusing.

I'm missing some important features on the front page.

It is not possible to go directly to one section, like for instance 18+, nor is it possible to check today + 18+ to check for updates.

Doing away with these features make the site a lot less interesting for me.

It looks better than before, but it is only appearing in a part of the website. Forums, blogs, help still have the old ugly boring look.

Something very annoying about the new look (i think it was in the old look too) is the ads near the video frame when i want to see a video. "You are the <???> visitor. Congratulations you Win!!!" ....It drives me crazy. It should stay at the bottom of the page under the "recommended" videos. And about the recommended videos...they hadn't change for months. The same "Arrested Porn Stars", "Pool Prank" and some others...

I wasn't able to see the old look of MC but so far I love it's current look because the colors are pleasing to the eyes, doesn't look crowded and loads very quickly too. I'd like to commend the guys behind this for their awesome job! wub.gif

Yes i have seen and experienced the new look of metacafe and its good i must say... i ve liked the changes done to it but would lie to see the changes in the section of recent videos and categories.

I love the way the improvements have been brought about.

The new look its better and at least for me it loads much faster. For me the loading time is the most important after the look
