A slight change to the site this morning

PrintGood morning everyone! While you are injecting various forms of caffeine into your system, allow me to comfort you with the news that no, you are not hallucinating. Stampede Blue does indeed look different this morning. But, unlike a couple of years ago, when this site was radically changed from version 1.0 to 2.0, the update to the site today is more of a version 2.5.
As you can see, the spacing between areas is a bit different, the top nav bar is a "tab view" instead of a standard link bar, and the site controls area has been moved to the right. In addition, the site's "sections" have been pushed closer to the top and the site's background wallpaper has been changed ever-so-slightly. All the SB Nation blogs have gone through this little refresh, and like you this morning I'm still getting working to get over the new look.
Feel free to chat this morning about the changes. Or, if you want to talk football, please chat about what Bill Polian said last night on his radio show (Tip to ANGELSFAITH).

LOUD NOISES!
BBS...
I was looking at the site around 6 this morning and kept thinking to myself…WTF??? Are my eyes OK? Something is different…has to be…what is wrong with me????
Thanks for the info!!!

I got you beat on that.
I was logging in (while taking a break from massive amounts of homework….stupid math) somewhere around 5 in the morning and got an error message saying that the site was undergoing maintenance and to check back in a couple minutes. The change was official a couple minutes later.
I also noticed that on the FanPosts on the right, they changed the “No avatar” picture from a guy shouting to a star that resembles the Dallas Cowboys’ symbol too closely.
Ah, the things you find to complain about when your team is 7-0 and looking really good.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Viz Media (The creators of my absolute favorite show of all-time and inspiration to my avatar, Naruto) just announced a partnership with the channel Disney XD to bring the English-dubbed episodes of Naruto Shippuden (The continuation of the Naruto series) to that station with a new episode airing each week, starting, well, NOW. With the series recording I just put on it, this is one of the greatest days I've had in a long time. I'm not kidding. I love the show that much.

I've got a real complaint now.
Whenever you go to a FanPost or FanShot, the Stampede Blue site logo expands and covers up part of the FanPost/FanShot. That is a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP.

yeah there seems to be some picture size problems that they need to fix.
for instance the facebook share button overlaps the add comment button. And I remember seeing some other picture problems, but I can’t remember them right now.
What browser are you using?
I’m using Firefox and I can see FanPosts and FanShots fine. He’s a screen shot: http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/202149/screensb.JPG

I see the problem now.
I have adblock on my FireFox, so that ad at the top of your screen shot isn’t there. Because of that, there is less room at the top which causes the Stampede Blue logo (which for some reason doesn’t re-size to fit the new boundaries) to overlap with the FanShot/FanPost words. You’d think they would program the logo to fit new boundaries instead of overflowing to the text body.

I can hear the reply now
“Make it easier for you to block our ads? Sure, we’ll get right on that.”

I just got around it
by simply blocking the Stampede Blue logo. Addition by subtraction.

hmmm
I’m not sure I like it,
but I’m not sure that I don’t
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
On a football note,
I was just watching Mike and Mike on ESPN and they were talking about which undefeated team will lose first. Greenburg predicts the Colts first loss will be to the Patriots and that the Saints will still be undefeated. I hope we not only win that game, but humiliate the cheats.
Please beat the Patties. It'd make the Phins org feel better. And some sweet revenge for Peyton Manning.
How many times will the Patties play spoiler to your season?

Bender: Who wants dolphin? Leela: Dolphin? But dolphins are intelligent. Bender: Not this one. He blew all his money on instant lottery tickets.
How many times did the Patriots and their cheating coach
spoil the party for the Colts? Hmmmmm, let’s see…….several years ago I think……ancient history if you ask me. It seems to me, if I remember correctly, that the Manning boys spoiled the party for the Pats during the last few years. It’s amazing what happens when there’s a level playing field.
Now that was a great game.
Wish it could have been a preview of the AFC Championship game (with a different result, perhaps), but I was at that game, and it was awesome, even in defeat.

It was (They all are, as painful as some outcomes are, I agree)
But then, it’s no coincidence Colts-Patriots is on prime-time during sweeps month
Keep the faith!
I can always count
on the Colts-Pats game being the week of my birthday. Makes for a great present. This year, it’s 2 days beforehand. Can’t wait.
Let the hype begin!

I like it
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
But is it just me
or does it load slower than the 2.0 version? Not very slow, but still slower than usually?

the point of it is to quicker to load

there's a bit more white than I like
I liked how each blog was heavily team colored. Now it’s less so.

I have been with the site for a long time...
and seen it change over the years. I liked the simple look of it in the beginning, it was inviting. The new look is nice and I am sure we are going to get used to it and like it.
I guess what I am trying to say is that we’re no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I. A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of, you wouldn’t get this from any other guy. I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, gotta make you understand…
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this
but I actually kinda like it. I usually hate changes like this, and think it’s funny that people spend tons of time and money to fix things that aren’t broken, but this is kinda nice.
How can you not love a team that does this?
Im not sure I like this
I mean the site was plain before but it at least had some color….this one is just…so…blah! I’m running Firefox so all my adds are gone and its just a big mass of white…I’m thinking about turning ad blocker off just to add some spice to this dull ass page!
No wait….what the hell am I saying?
