I'm the ******** Obama of Gaia when it comes to change. I have supported their changes for the last five years. I almost always love them. New layouts, new shop designs, new characters. I've been there for all of it and I've enjoyed it.

HOWEVER!

....I like the bubbles. ;_; I don't want to see them go.

The map I don't really mind. It can go.

Well thats just great forr youu.
i agree, i dont want the bubbles to goo.

Gaia staff is used to complaining question We have to try and please 7 million users...

So, you like the idea of pleasing maybe like.... 10/400 posts here? Because most people who have posted don't seem to like the idea. ^^'' Why do it if only the minority seems to want it? If you don't do it, no one will complain. Won't that make your job just a little bit easier? We're not asking for it. Most of us don't want it. It probably will cost Gaia more to make it. I don't understand how this benefits anyone.

Mmmm I agree. I haven't seen anyone want it, so there would be no harm if it wasn't released considering the fact that people really don't seem to enjoy it. If it was petitioned for or whatnot that makes it a different story, but I don't even recall it being a suggestion. It it wasn't released, people who don't want it benefit and people who are really neutral on it don't suffer either.

I do not like this.
I like my bubbles, I rather have those.
If you do release this, please make it Optional.. I hate lag..
I don't want lag on my computer while I'm browsing through Gaia.
Make it OPTIONAL please.
Or just don't release at all.
Stop trying to make Gaia like other Social websites.
(Myspace, Facebook etc.)

Noooooo! ._____________.
The Footer.... PLEASE say it'll be optional. That thing will drive me INSANE. D<

I'd rather still use that THREE WHOLE SECONDS to scroll to the top of the page to see my updates, rather then having that annoying footer at the bottom of my screen.
...you know, like how it's always been. D:

If this were ever to be released, it would ultimately destroy my laptop due to laaaag. D:

Seriously. I don't see the logic behind this. Normally, I get where Gaia is coming from. This... I just don't get it.

[Fujoshi Sama]

PLEASE don't mess with my bubbles!

I actually like when the bubbles tell me I have new PMs or comments. I like it a lot.

As far as the footer goes, I've heard it will cause really bad lag, and I think you'll get more negative feedback than positive out of it. Besides, I'm not such a big fan of it on Facebook, and I'd rather not have it here as well. Especially if it makes scrolling choppy.

[Baylen]

I don't even see why they'd waste their time asking us to voice our opinions about this. It's not like the people forcing the devs to do this care about the fact that we don't want this site to look more like MySpace, because the millions of people who flock over from there will like the look once it's passed. rolleyes

The instant this passes, I'll be blocking the footer, be it through ABP or a script I'll write myself.

Please let us keep the bubbles. I like it the way it is already

FACEBOOK.
Its probably been said before.
Looks like the facebook footer.
LOLGaia is copying facebook.
Do not want. =[

I don't think we need to change the layout, at least not like that. The BLUE the BLUEEE why?! Its so random lol!! The tab for the logo? Its tacky (like the blue!!) The footer, I could get use to it, but I love the bubbles!! They're so cute and different! I've never seen a site that has speech bubbles. It makes Gaia more unique :] As for the map, it looks pretty there! I think it should stay, even if I never use it. Its so empty without it. If you're gonna take it away, put something in its place please!
Over all, no thank you =P I don't think very many people like it anyways.

[Par Exemple]

I'm not a big fan of the floating footer idea. I like the thought bubble. I'm also afraid that a) I will not see the floating footer b)the floating footer will get in the way c) the floating footer will lag the system; especially if I have tabs open, which already will freeze my computer.

I do understand the moding of the world map. It was great when that was the only way to get around, but those day are long gone. It's time for a change.

[Zira Angel]

I don't want a floating footer D:

Floating ANYTHING makes for terribly lag. I have enough trouble on gaia as it is D:

[Chibi faery]

I don't like that footer too much at all. ): I really don't. It's a good idea, but I think Gaia's bubbles at the top has always been great.
Those footers tend to be annoying, and some peoples computers can't really handle them well! gonk I know my computer has trouble with such things.

I think if people wanted those things available for them constantly, scrolling through the page, or otherwise, that's what the Gaia toolbars are for, aren't they? surprised



And others are right: The logo should stay how it is now. That purple box is just too much.
