    I like the newer one. I like how it flows, and how you can get to your shop, the wiz, and like the trading post from the drop down. I have Premium so I also get to use the Portal which is just an amazing addition to anything :D

    The old one - it's more simple...
    custimisation is just another thing to make me waste my NP
    the old pets also look better

    but I guess i'm getting use to the new one

    I like the new one because it has more links.

    I wish they would have a customization option to include my own links under like board and stuff.

    The old one was cool, though, but I like the new 1024 screen format.

    I must say I'm not a fan of customization. Sooo many pets looked better before the redraw. It also gave each species it's own personality. Now that they're all in the same position it kind of just makes them more pixels than pets for me..

    Now that I've gotten used to it, it's fine, but I really preferred the old sidebar...:/

    I liked the look of the old layout, but the new one is a lot easier to use.

    I personally like the new layout better, but I wish they would bring back the old top bar on the shops page.

    As for customization, I'm all for it. I used to disagree with it, but some items don't look that bad on some pets. I just stick backgrounds on my pets though, I don't bother with the rest of it.

    Also, I think that most pets look better now than they did. A few pets look a lot worse though *cough* jetsam

    When I used to mall, that bar was almost essential because of the NB ads and the market link. It'd be a lot harder to mall now because that's gone.

    In short, I hate the new interface.

    It's a hassle for me.
    Usually, the drop down links take forever to load, and the huge ads that now dominate the site lag.
    And it's just a pain x)

    The one thing I do definitely miss about the old layout is that shop banner...it made navigating SO much easier.

    And Sita Moon, same. Depending on my computer/browser, it the drop-down menus load really slowly...at this point I usually just memorize the URLs to the places I want to go to, or just use Firefox's browser memory to URL-hop.

    Customization is sort of nice, I suppose, in that double-painting pets with Paint Brush clothes (esp. Royal) looks fairly decent, but basically I just stick backgrounds on my pets and that's it.

    I highly dislike the new one. I don't know, when I returned after a two year absence, I felt lost.. I find that the links now take a bit longer for me to go to.

    I preferred the old one because if I wanted to go to the bank, I would just click on the bank icon - no need to go two steps...

    I don't know, in the end one extra click doesn't make a whole lot of a difference, but it just gives me an alien vibe.

    Not telling because you'll just be jealous psshh..
    The old layout was much better. The new one is too.. well, Viacomish. Since Viacom took over, all the graphics have been turned into some kind of blinding Rainbow thing. The new layout is suited to that theme though.

    I like both, but I really like how they have things in different sections (boxes) in the new one.

    I prefer the "old-school" neopets layout - the one that existed before ads became rampant all over the page. Then again, we'll never see it again. ._.

    I think the new one looks more modern... and i think it looks easier to find things.

    What I do miss about the old Neopets layout is that brief layout before they stuck the massive add at the top. Also those headers that use to say where you were, those were so cool x3

    T_T you guys are bringing back memories from my childhood

    when you were concerned with how many gummies you got in the 25c packs you bought at lunch
    -and not desperately finding a prom date

    when you could actually look around at the money tree
    -and get something good too

    when you weren't looked at funny for going on a "little kids" site
    -and now, well, yeah.

    Neopets was a large part of my childhood, at school we would all play it on the school computers in our free time and actually talk about trading each other certain items at lunch xD I got my first lab map back then, which was approximately 200k all up if I remember correctly! THOSE were the good old days.
