I was a bit offended when I saw some of these entries. Sure, this was a BIG change, but how could you be so flat out RUDE when team iby has worked so hard on this new update? Plus, its only been one day, so lets try and be MATURE about the change and it give it a chance guys! :)

my views:

PROs:
1. i like how the daily comps are back on the front page!

2. enjoy how easy it is to reply to a comment on an entry by clicking the new 'this entry' button.

3. i LOVE the new 'standings button' on competion pages! so i can see only my freinds entries, or even see the standings in measured competions, rating-wise. :)

4. love the new regtangle look!

Cons:

1. on a competion page, i liked to be able to see the profile picture next to the entry. so i can reconize the user better.

Pro/Con:

Although i liked seeing the rating and desciption next to the title of an entry, i can actually see the picture/video entry a lot clearer now that they're out of the way.

I DON'T LIKE IT AL ALL! Lets see, where to start...
1. You took away the description AGAIN!!! After the big deal everybody made the last time why on Earth would you do it again. I want to be able to read an entries description when I look at the entry not by having to highlight and deal with a pop up. And speaking of pop ups...
2. That stupid pop up window every time I enter a comp it just annoying. I KNOW I GOT 5 POINTS FOR ENTERING & I KNOW I NEED 3 VOTE TO QUILIFY. You need to figure out a way to turn that off. Maybe have a 'click here' if you don't want to see this notice again thing. I don't know if you know this but most people HATE POP UPS!!! That's way that make 'Pop Up Blockers', people find them annoying.
3. What's that point of having a profile pic if it doesn't even show up on your comp entries? I recognize most people by their pic not their screen name.
4. Whats the 'voting has not started' thing all about? How about a lil explanation, WHEN DOES THE VOTING START?... (see more)

OK, It's new, SO WHAT!! Next topic please! This website should be called "I Like to complain about everything.com" I'm a nobody on this site, but to see the top people complain, its kinda sad!!  (see more)

5. I never like the 'more' button in the fist place, now I hate it even more. You have to click it in order to know ANYTHING about an entry. It's an unnecessary step. The main problem I see with this is now more people will get away with putting 'all me' on non all me entries because people aren't gonna full with click the 'more' button. THINK ABOUT THAT!!!
6. Every thing is to compact & too hard to read.
7. I don't like the scroll bar thing, it's just annoying. And last but not least...
8. STOP MOVING STUFF AROUND!!! Just when I get use to where every thing is you it. Every thing if flipped around and I don't like it.
The only good thing you did was put 'actual' challengers back on the front page. But big deal since you can only see 3 at a time. I'd just prefer the site back like it was.
And I don't want to hear "well you just gotta let it grow on you." because you know else grows on you? 'CANCER!!!' and I don't want that either. (see more)

Ok I just read through almost all of these entries and it sickens me to how lazy and inconsiderate most of you are...is it seriously that much of a pain to click the button one extra time to share an entry, or to view an entry. The IBY team obviosuly works very hard day in and day out to make this site more enjoyable and the down right nasty comments towards the updated are in-excusable. I usually sit back and keep my mouth shut but seriously I understand some of you are afraid of change, but do you have to be so nasty about it..grow up people (see more)

i dunno what i think of the new IBY. like it`s really cool how it`s now set up and stuff. nicely organized, bigger pictures and it highlights people and competitions. very nice. although on the actual competitions, once you click it, you have to like put your mouse over an entry to see what their score is and like it doesn`t say the amount of votes or whatnot. also, voting has not yet started, how can that be if competition is ending soon? confused :P (see more)

First and foremost, I take umbrage at the description: "Who's Hot This Week." IBY claims that Fanaa, aSantos, Jelly Jan, hrabba24, and crackers_and_apples' hotness is limited to THIS WEEK? What, like all of them are going to become frumpy spinsters next week, hoarding cats and knitting frocks?

And another thing - what the hell is a frock anyway and does anyone beside the elderly wear them? I digress...

I think change is good. I know it's scary and disconcerting to not have things 'the way you like them' (or are used to them), but I hope people give it time before they come to any conclusion.

Maybe this, like Obama, is change we can believe in?

1. layout's way more organized than before
2. easier to navigate around the site
3. greater number of users are being featured for their awesomness
4. you can tell that the iby team spent a lot of time on this, which shows how much they care about their users

all in all, love it and thanks for your hard work! (see more)

I HATE how it doesn't show u the ratings ANY where in the entries for example how there use to be little numbers like "4.1, 5.0, 2.8, 3.0" YEA, i dont really like that it just says, 3rd place, 1st place, but it doesn't say how close you are to the other people ahead! ... it only shows you on ur profile... not a gud thing... umm, i like how... it's blue?... blue's a gud color? :D (see more)

I guess for the most part its ok. Like anything new were all going to have to get used to it. What I dont like though is not being able to see the picture of who entered the comp. I recognize people by there pics not by there user name. Hopefully this can be corrected (see more)

so before when i saw the new face of IBY i was like oh cool looks more organized and nicer i guess. started browsing around the new iby and its like it lost its touch. Appreciate the fact that the IBY crew is working to make changes and improve the site but updates aren't always better. I prefer the old format of how the competitions looked. What i do like about the new look is maybe the main page? So we dont only see the celebs who never log on but also the ibyers we all know. Its probably not just the new face of iby that users aren't fond of but also the site itself isnt what it used to be. Hopefully that is something that could be changed for the better. Im not saying that the update is terrible but most users would prefer the old look. Even though the change doesn't look so good right now, users may get used to it. Thanks to the IBY crew for wanting to know about our opinions of the new look and i appreciate the fact that they are trying to make it better (see more)

it looks clean and crisps.. RJbrian covered pretty much everything..
but i would like to say that i like being able to see who entered what.. so i preffer seeing a users display picture next to their competition entry..
the way it is now just makes the site feel "cold".. i also preffer the old comment system. i hope you will listen to our feedback :)thanks for reading!  (see more)

Okay Ill Be Honest The New IBY Sucks...Like All My Friends Wanna Quit Coming Here Now.And Thats The Best Thing About IBY Is The Friendships.Take Those Away And Were Left With What? Generic Competitions Created By 2nd Rate "Celebrities" Publicists!The Actual People Dont Log On,Dont Compete Themselves And Definatley Dont Interact With Us...Its Just US And We All Have A Lot Of Fun Together But We Can Do That Anywhere So If Iby Wants Us To Stay They Gotta Make It Better Not Worse (see more)

YEAH PRETTY MUCH R.J. SAID.
i really hate how we cant see the profile pictures on their entry nor the score of that entry. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?
P.S. "OMG! IBY is Different!!" is such a bad title for this "competition" gosh, the iBY team nowadays cant even think of a proper title for their so called "competitions" speaking of comps, umm this not actually a comp, its more like opinions. So yeah, you might want to open a discussion for this kind of stuff
Only cool thing is the layout i guess and THATS IT! (see more)
