New Website Design and Navigation

feyii✭✭✭✭I really like the new news section on the home page. Many more articles accessable right away!
But I also agree with many of the others here that the header and space below (forums) could be smaller. It just makes getting to the actual content take longer.
On the home page I don't really like the huge ad for the latest content - currently Morrowind. I know that it's out, I have it, I don't need to be reminded of it everytime. For newcomers it might be good, for others not so much. It would be nice if it could be closed, because this also prevents seeing the interesting stuff right away.
And the place of the language selection is rather unintuitive. I wouldn't have found it, had I not seen the place in this thread. Mainly, because most pages are very long and the footer is only visible when you are already far to the bottom. Selecting the correct language is something I would want to do right away, not after having looked through all of the page first.
Maybe place it next to the support link in the header?Edited by feyii on August 1, 2017 4:26PM2 -

thawks✭✭✭I think it looks slick, but I find the scrolling header a bit intrusive. The way it minimizes as you scroll really bothers me, and it takes up too much of the screen even on a desktop computer. Especially since there's so much empty space!2 -

is this for your customers, that is we who pay for this, or is it to find more people to hire, or what ever??

It feels like it is a popup that you want to look for something to close it down again or hide it. But you can't ...
It honestly feels rather bothersome to this one yes.
A forum should stay still unless this one she chooses it to move - or she is drunk.

What an awful design change. It's always hilarious that companies feel the need to change things that are perfectly fine and they always somehow make it worse. I guess these people need something to do to keep their jobs though...
If it ain't broke...

✭✭✭✭✭Banner at the top is a little too big for my tastes . Can not navigate the personal bar because it covers my inbox and notifications on Mobil . I use Apple iPad for forums . Also scrolling on Mobil is very difficult . Does not want to scroll more then a one post length at a time . I would reduce the header on Mobil so that the choice to refresh the current topic area is still available and clicking on personal notifications and email is still not difficult . As of right now the header with Elder Scrolls Online takes up 1/4 of the entire screen .
I do like the quick navigation tabs and simplicity of it .5 -

That's the fully scrolled up header. It shrinks to something more reasonable when you start scrolling. The fundamental problem is the god-awful jerkiness.Looks pretty nice. You might want to tighten up some of the empty spaces between text and borders, and between text windows, as that is a lot of extra real estate just sort of hanging around.
Big problem with that header tho. It appears EVERY FREAKING PAGE when you go to the next page of one of the sorts, forcing the next page of content down. We just need it to be a full header once.. then stay small.
Oh.. and WHEN exactly,, will it remember my ID across the links on the top bar? I mean.. I really was born on 01/01/1900 after all....Edited by Darlgon on August 1, 2017 6:12PMPower level to CP160 in a week:

✭✭✭✭✭I hope the "jerkiness" mentioned previously is referring to the fact that the supposedly "static" top banner bounces around when you're scrolling. It doesn't do it when you click-and-drag the scroll bar, but does with mouse-wheel, page up/page down, and the arrow buttons. That might be browser-specific, as it doesn't seem to be an issue for me on Firefox.
I think the top navigation,
is a bit too small, while the bar underneath (which is different depending on whether you're on the main site, the forums, or the account section) is a bit too big. The text in the lower bar should be a bit smaller than "The Elder Scrolls Online" in the bar above, while the top and bottom padding of the lower bar certainly needs to be reduced.GAME ACCOUNT STORE FORUM SUPPORTUESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995

✭✭✭Please for the love of god make the top part of the banner be how it is when you scroll down always. The constant shrinking and enlarging of the banner is giving me a damn headache.
Keep it like this, all the time:
Stop having this:
The constant swapping between the 2 is really frustrating.13 -

✭✭✭✭✭The new header jumps from very large to somewhat smaller but still larger than before every time a page is refreshed or you go to a new page.
The page content jumps with it, which is *really* annoying ...

Life Tip for those who think the header is too big:
Install Adblock (if you haven't already).
Rightclick the logo and block it.
This way the huge logo that covers 25% of the screen will not be visible even if you are scrolled all the way up.It also stops the header from jumping.
Blocking was the first thing I did when I saw this new monstrosity. Honestly ZOS, just get of that logo and we are all happy.Edited by Draqone on August 1, 2017 8:30PMESO Balance:

feyii✭✭✭✭Now that I had time to look at the site a bit longer, scrolling seems very laggy. And I get the impression that this is caused by all the things that get enlarged and reduced again - be it the header or any images if you happen to hover over them. This is rather annoying.1

will remove that monstrosity at the top that takes up half your screen and jumps around like a Khajit on skooma.

✭I totally despise the expanding bar at the top for these reasons;
1. It pushes the text upwards or downwards causing me to eye-shift to locate the start of the text, which is annoying.
2. It uses FAR too much space. It's way too big
3. There is far too much wasted space.
4. It looks like a pop-up advertising banner, which I also despise.
Also, the bar at the bottom has far too much empty space and uses far too much screen space to relay little information.
It feels claustrophobic.
I'll be using the forum much less until it changes. It is painful to look at.

Belegnole✭✭✭✭✭Honestly, I don't think that you should follow the trend of having mobile app makers work on websites meant to be viewed on a PC. The entire concept of how to make a well balanced site is different for the two mediums. Please revert or fix what you have for the main site and forums the improperly designed header and footer take up to half of the viewable space on a larger monitor.@paulsimonps @SirAndy @Scyantific @Enodoc @Darlgon @NBrookus @Rohamad_Ali @Tasear @SantieClaws and all others:

lol, thanks...for some odd reason I didn't think of that. BTW this applies to most of the elements to shrink it down to a manageable size.
