Gaia Online is pleased to announce our new site layout!

One of the biggest changes is the new navigation. Making use of Flash and Javascript (and works really well if you don't have either of those), the new navigation provides 1-click access to all of Gaia's features. If the bar seems too large, just click on "Info" and it will collapse, leaving you more room for forum threads, profiles, etc. The site's navigation has been reduced to a total of 3 tabs:

My Gaia: Personalization, shopping, your journal, profile, house, and mail.

Community: Forums, Guilds, Gaia Towns, the Marketplace, Areans, and Storyline.

Games: All of our gaming along with the world map.

We hope you enjoy the new site design!

Dear Users,

Just wanted to let you know that the new design is still a work in progress. Over the next few weeks or so, we will slowly be making optimizations, starting with going through each feature and tweaking the layouts to work with the new design schemes of the new layout.

Also, we will be adding an option to use an html version of the navigator(this does not mean the old layout, but an HTML version of the flash navigator). Technically, right now, if you do not have flash, it should be loading the html version. However, in the near future, we will be adding the functionality to disable it and re-enable it at will.

In the meantime, please bear with us and help us bring this new site design to completion with your bug reports and feedback.

A few other info tidbits, the new site design is actually faster to load than the original one in terms of file size(mostly because it uses a lot less graphics than the original headers did). What users are currently experiencing is the start up time for the flash header to start up. We are currently working to optimize that.

Missing links are to be expected. If you find that something you used to use is missing, please let us know and we will try to get it back in here. As our site has a large number of templates and files, it is more than likely that some things may have been overlooked. sweatdrop

Thanks for your support and enjoy snow in TOWNS in the meantime! Xmas is right around the corner!

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays! 3nodding
