Re: A proposal so we can change site layouts! (Pretty detailed!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Even though I've made like four threads about this topic in particular over the past year, it's probably time to start a new one, as those were pretty negative towards the likely hard working website designers at Roblox. So it's time to start a new! There will be a TL;DR at the bottom if you're lazy enough.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So at the time of me posting this, Roblox has updated their home page, place page, games page, ROBUX purchase page, profile page, and inventory page. With each change to the website, there's obviously a lot of outlash from the community, with the forums, this board in particular, exploding in anger and arguments happening all over the place! This is to be expected, I suppose, but I have a proposal!

In the past, Roblox has had the option to switch site themes. There were three, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. This feature was removed in 2011/2012 (not sure when, correct me pls) when the site updated to what is now the previous layout. This is understandable, as those old site layouts were in fact compatible with each other. They had the same layouts and simply had different looks and coats of paint.

However, recent site updates have not been pleasant, and this is most definitely the case with the recent (at the time of posting this) profile update. Players are angry, confused! What are they gonna do with their lives?! Oh no! Even though most of them are kids acting pretty whiny, it is still an understandable reaction, while not completely warranted.

These new changes have been made to catch up to recent website designs, to make Roblox's site seem more modern and "professional", you may put it. However, for most power users, these recent changes have simply been hindering to them. Not only players, but developers. That's why all this whining is understandable. One example of these negative changes is the profile page, where everything is scattered all over the place and split into two tabs, making it more challenging to navigate a person's profile.

Perhaps these changes are meant to draw in more users, attract them with a fancy coat of paint, and more user friendly to newcomers of Roblox. But many longtime veterans and power users are only hindered by some these new changes. It's made many people quit in the past, and it's pretty sad to see. But there's a solution!

I propose the RETURN of the site changing feature of the past times! What this would do is revert the site's entire layout, only to you of course, to what it looked like in Fall of 2014, before the home page had been updated. Perhaps the old layout can also be updated to include new features? Or maybe not, that's up to who ever is in charge. Maybe even the old header if you'd like? Who knows!

Now, you may be thinking a few things that could work as arguments against this addition, and I'll list a few possible ones.

1. "This isn't common website practice! Most sites wouldn't do something like this!"

Well, hey man, it's Roblox! The game's always been about doing whatever the heck you want, so why not go against common practice and do something which would be a huge favor to longtime veterans?

2. "Why would they waste time on this? There's no reason to have to maintain two site layouts at once."

If necessary, Roblox could simply just not support the old layout. It'd be selectable, perhaps in your settings configurations, and it would be useable and compatible with Roblox, but it wouldn't have any new features added as the site is updated.

3. "Stop trying to avoid change! Just give the new layout a chance!"

I've given it a chance, many times. I've gotten used to many changes, but a good chunk of the community has been especially distraught by the new profile page. This update would simply be a gift from the heavens, and it would allow them to power through the site again!

Anyway, Roblox, that's all I have to say, and you don't have to make this some major feature or anything. You can probably just tuck this feature away in configurations, maybe even hide it in the HTML code, who cares. It'd just simply be wonderful to switch to the old layout again.

And if you were too lazy to read, have a TL;DR!

TL;DR: Give us options! It'd be great to be able to change site layouts, and I'm sure many users will be happy with such an addition.

no one likes the new layout. it's factually bad. it's not an opinion. it was made mainly for mobile, and thus it's inefficient and hard to navigate on PC.

Actually no the only thing thats bad is the new profile page. The old layout for the whole site is "outdated". Everyone already got used to the new site. ROBLOX is getting more "modern" as I would say. Looking at old roblox site looks gives me serious deja vu and makes me think I was once a robloxian from 2011-2012 and then left the game. Sorry I can't support this.

I sent a suggestion like this to WEBGL3D, wondering if he can add this to ROBLOX+. No response yet.

Obviously since I had the same idea before this thread by ONE DAY ( omg kool ) I'm supporting.
