I liked my home page being personal...seeing my comments, ibles, and orange board.. It also seems a bit cluttered..overwhelming. Maybe it's that I'm just not used to it yet.

I love the new look, its functional.. If i might suggest, reducing the number of featured and most popular ibles.. And add the most recent ibles to the front as well..

As for the word ibles itself, i first encountered it about a month ago (i think), in a post by nachomahma..who coined it? not too sure..And i've seen some of the forum regulars used it several times since..Personally, it sounds cute..and I'm sure Eric won't mind (would he?) :)
Aug 17, 2007. 7:41 PMzachninme says:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure NachoMahma started it, and its not iBles, its ibles.

Even us (fine, you) engineers get lazy and detest typing long words such as "Instru... yeah I gave up, too much effort.

Yea there was a thread on it, about a new name instead of typing Instructables out every few minutes.

Sounds like an Apple thing...

That's the idea in my picture, believe it or not....

Ah...I didn't notice without full view.

I have been for a while, but I didn't think of it..forget who did. Stick it to the Man everyone! Stick it to the Man.
Aug 18, 2007. 9:42 AMwhatsisface says:
Who's the man? And what are we sticking where?
Aug 18, 2007. 1:15 PMWeissensteinburg says:
The man is fungus amungus, and we're sticking it (being the word "iBles") to the forums.

*Whispers "DAMN They've rumbled us"* Uhh.... I'm not authorised to answer that question Phew..
Aug 16, 2007. 11:15 PMWeissensteinburg says:
I do like the list of contests on the side..but I also liked the link to recent ibles..it was just faster.
Aug 16, 2007. 11:44 PMWeissensteinburg says:
I know, i just liked the convenience of the button right there. How do I get to the personalized page?
Aug 16, 2007. 11:46 PMWeissensteinburg says:
Thanks =]
Aug 17, 2007. 3:12 AMKiteman says:
Top right... Oh! I'll have to remember that - the page is too wide for my PC screen. As for the look... promising. I think I'll get used to it.
Aug 17, 2007. 8:25 PMacer73 says:
I like it, I had navigated through email to here no I never saw the front page. I was like awesome.
Aug 17, 2007. 4:21 AMKiteman says:
What happened to the rating statistics? I just tried to update they boys on the status of "their" ibles and the rating stats are blank (#2 son's castle was rated 8 last time I checked)
Aug 17, 2007. 3:44 PMCameronSS says:
Not when I view ones that I made. It's never shown up on the top.
Aug 17, 2007. 5:16 AMCameronSS says:
Lost mine too...wouldn't mind if I weren't entered in the Go Green contest...
Aug 17, 2007. 7:53 AMtechnick29 says:
I did too, it still has the little box with the users that +'ed it, but nothing next to rating.

I like it. But it confused the h*ll out of me why I couldn't find the "You"-item to te left in the menu. Eventually I found it next to my picture. But I do miss the ever-changing random instructables on the top in the old version. It was fun to watch and mouse over to see the title. I found a lot of neat but old instructables that way. The current large header on the frontpage looks more "professional", but is not as usable as the old header.

Bug: On the backtalk page, when rolling over a comment, it displays an error.
Aug 17, 2007. 9:15 AMwhatsisface says:
Shall do.

Bug. I can't see all the pictures in my library just the first 12. I was going to use one in a comment. It says pictures "1 thru 0 of 130" even after I click "next".
Aug 17, 2007. 7:47 AMtechnick29 says:
I like the new homepage a lot. It looks really cool, but for my personal page, I kind of miss those "featured" or "popular" Instructables squares that would change. Other than that, it's great.

The update broke the RSS.
Aug 17, 2007. 1:31 AMrachel says:
which rss? there are lots ... (if you mean the orangeboard rss, that has been broken for a long time. it's on the list to get fixed, but there has so far always been something of higher priority.)
Aug 17, 2007. 1:32 AMCrash2108 says:
Yes, RSS.
Aug 17, 2007. 1:59 AMrachel says:
post a link that's broken, or private message me with it. thanks.
