As Promised

Yes, it's finally done. What has now launched began as a simple feature update and ended with a new design and quite a few more features that initially planned. Of course the home page has been radically redesigned and now focuses on giving a better overall impression of a game before playing it. We are implementing a few pretty new technologies here and so we do suggest updating your browsers to Firefox, IE7, Opera, or Safari to ensure that it all looks and functions as it should. Of course, it does work almost as nicely in IE6, we did the best we could 
.
New features include the "invite a friend" option to gain GumPoints, as well as a new flash embed method that should be quicker and more compatible with all browsers. Overall speed is much improved with a new cache process that will make browsing the entire site incredibly snappy after one visit, something we had been working towards for a while. Smaller features include universal cropping of images (for avatars and game icons), and a whole host of minor bugs or inconveniences that have been fixed from the previous version. The "game" pages have been redesigned as well, with some usability touch ups and visual updating. Next release we plan to focus on the browse, profile, and other minor page redesigns.
We do know of a few small design bugs in certain browsers that need to be fixed, but as they didn't interfere in the functionality we decided to launch on time and fix them in the coming days. So, how do you like it? Any suggestions? Bugs? Tell us what you think and as we are now in the quick revision stage and can quickly fix any bugs that crop up.
Look out soon for news on a contest and some other cool stuff.

Looks cool, very Web 2.0. A bit buggy in opera though...

Games/Toplists, Discuss, Submit under the 'Navigate' heading on the footer don't work, and the toongum icon links to the same page (don't know if it's intentional or not) :)
Thats all I saw, absolutely awesome redesign, im glad there's some unique arcades that don't follow the normal layout.
I do like many of the old layouts though, don't know if you plan to make them changeable or not :) Good job
