I must just be an old fart, I like the old one better. Probably because I am familiar with the old one, the new one makes me adapt to new stuff, you know, think and other unpleasant stuff.

Do you like it better?

I like this one on the ipad better. But one thing that hasn't changed is the very annoying pop up telling you to save the site to the home screen

The new site kind of reminds me of one of the older sites they had.

Hate it when people try to fix something that's not broke.

I like being able to look at all the link headlines under Features, Breaking News, and Industry News without having to scroll down a bunch. You can quickly glance at it and see if there is anything new if it's been a day or two since you looked at the site. The new site just seems way too busy. I think a re-design was totally unnecessary.

It's more streamlined for mobile applications.

I really don't like change. I miss getting my info from Cycle News a week later. I miss my beeper. I miss getting smoked by CR and KX 60's riding a two year old YZ 60…

But, I do like the new site and I stay at Holiday Inn…

x3. Hard to tell the difference between actual content and adds. Way to busy for me.

I didn't like the last redo, and this one seems worse. I did eventually get used to the one we have now though so there's hope. It does seem really hard to separate the ads from the content, and I'd rather choose a topic to open and then see the pic instead of just having pics all over the front page. But if you look at any of the magazines today from other sports, and a couple from ours that's just the way it's going. Kids don't know how to read anymore because of twitter and facebook etc.. They just like the quick hit and that's what all the pics and very little content gives them. As one of the mags that offers the most content, I'm surpised to see them go this way.

THIS is the correct answer. The old/old RacerX site was dialed- it looked good and was easy to use.

I think a lot of sites will get re-designed in the near future even if they don't look broken, there are so many different devices to access the web on these days that a site really needs to be responsive to the different screen sizes
