Some Information
What this thread is about - This thread is a protest against the new blue neon toolbar fail!
Why we don't like the new navigation system - For starters the color is uneven, blurry, and it doesn't work well. Second they left out many different things on each tab drop down, such as: my latest topics, and my thread subscriptions. Some people who own fast moving threads like I do need to be able to get their quickly when needed, of course you can always use the my shortcuts tab but that shouldn't have to be necessary, and where is the shortcut to "my guilds, are you trying to make it that hard for us gaia?" Lastly it's just big and bulky, and takes up entirely to much room!
What makes it even worse - I am a December 2003 member of Gaiaonline. Back when I first started I was perfectly happy with what gaia offered. As the years went by they started changing it. That was okay at first, but then it started to take a turn for the worst. It's gone so far that gaia's once "free site" now has shops where you can only buy the items with REAL money. That doesn't sound free to me. Step by step it seems Gaia is digging itself into a hole. Not enough people are standing up and saying "This is not what we want!" if we want things to change then we need to start now. .
What people are saying about the new navigation system :
Poke the Savior
The old one was better evil
Arsenic Candy Girl
No gaia, No,
It sucks.
How could you do this to us?!

I wrote a longer version, and these are the main points I summarized at the end. The original post is here, if you're interested.
Main reasons to revert back to the old navigation system:
-Did people request a change in the first place? Did you ask us? Did you poll us? Because I saw no such thing.
-You've moved links around and caused mass confusion, and have made it more difficult to reach some places, like guilds. But of course, you left the links to get cash. And made them even more obvious.
-You say you've cleaned up clutter, but you've just made it more blocky and awkward than before.
-You've implemented a system that takes up more space to display even fewer links than before.
-You can't revert one little bar to a new color without changing the rest, because it stands out, and not in a good way.
-The light blue text is hard to read on white background. This text is also pointless and belittling. We know what shops are. We don't need tiny, impossibly obvious, hard to read explanations that you didn't even bother to capitalize. "get stuff for your avatar". Really? Is that what a shop is for? I had no idea. It's like your target audience is eight year olds.

Is this really what you want people saying? For the sake of all us Gaians, please change it back, before you start seeing a major rise in abandoned accounts.
