Dramabeans gets an updated look
by javabeans
Looking around, you may notice a bit of a change — nothin’ fancy, just a few tweaks here and there, a splash of color to freshen up these parts. Every spring cleaning needs a fresh coat of paint to liven up the joint, right? So maybe we’re a little slow and got to spring a little late; that fourth dimension can get tricky that way.
It’s nothing quite as dramatic as the last time we introduced a new look — remember the wailing and gnashing of teeth then? Ah, good times. But we love the update and hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.
You should find all functionality to be the same, so no worries on that front. (If you run into problems, please let us know in the comments.) It’s mostly a cosmetic change; think of us as an Act 2 drama heroine getting her transformation montage — just without the chaebol hottie shaking his head no at every other outfit. ‘Cause we can foot our own makeover bill, thanks. Dramaland, take note!

The first thing that came to my minds with the new logo was boobs.
And then I realized that this might be an ingenious logo.. boobs sell, so this is good!

It's too bad, but I don't like the new pink colour. The yellow text had a calming effect on me - something I enjoy while reading recaps - while the pink is too aggressive. On the other hand the light blue is pleasant to look at.
The new logo looks nice though.

Hm, I agree—I get that the colors are supposed to be bright, but maybe a softer shade of pink would be easier on the eyes/DB experience? I still like the layout overall.

It looks great with colors.And refers to the Inverted bracket & comma sign-it shows tge way of writing thoughts,and reporting the characters saying.It depicts the best way of writing & moving on about the the story you are telling..

Whatchya mean 'got to spring a little late'? It's spring where I live!!!! You were being conscience of your global attraction and making us from down under feel included :-) You guys are soooo nice.
I like it, clean, simple and easy on the eye. I will happily come up with various meanings of the symbols over the coming months.... small things.... sigh....

I'm not sure if it's just me, but since a few days every time I go on DB, the new post won't load. Right now I still see the first post as "Ma Boy" at 36 comments... I have to click on a post, and then check updates on the sidebars. It's not a super big inconvenient, but I just wanted to let you guys know

Try clearing your cache, and let us know if the problem persists. Doesn't seem to be happening on our end though.

Problem persists for me, even after cache is cleared. I tried Chrome, Firefox and the dreaded IE.
I will add that if you forcibly google site:dramabeans.com and limit it to past 24 hours, the posts that are "missing" on the front page do come up. Or they pop up by themselves after a 2-days period (only saw tons of new posts on 21st, 23rd and today 25th).
I just wanted to add more pieces to the puzzle. I hope you guys figure it out

Love the new colours, but I'm having a problem (on three different moniters/computers now) where if I open a link in a new tab, and then go over to the second tab, the entire screen is just green and red squares and there's nothing else to see. It also changes the first tab to red and green squares if I click back to it. Refreshing fixes it so far, but it's kind of annoying (especially in the longer posts that take a little longer to load) and it only started happening when the new changes were implemented.
Is it possible to fix that maybe, or am I the only one its happening to?
I'm using Chrome and firefox browsers and so far they both have the problem...

We've checked functionality on different browsers on both mac and pc, so likely it's a cache issue for you. Clear your cache, and that should do it.

I don't know if this is related to the new look of the site, but since the update, new posts have disappeared from the front page twice this week. Last night I saw 2 new posts, one is the recap for Faith ep.4 and 1 news item. Both of these items disappeared after 1 hour, and it's still not showing right now. Last week a similar thing happened where 2-3 new items including 1 recap also showed up for a few hours, then disappeared until a new post was added.

Love the new logo! :D
Btw I'm I the only who feels like there's way too many good dramas and not enough time to watch them on track - the new ones and catching back on the ones you missed?
Ghost - stopped at ep 7 and still on hold
The King 2 Hearts - ep 13 and also on hold
I DO I DO - ep 5 or 8? *confused face* I don't know what it is it about Lee Jang Woo that annoys me so much - which is absurd cuz he's doing a good job or maybe I'm just lazy to get back on it ^.^
Big - Stopped at 5 - don't get me started with Gil Da Ran!
Coffee Prince - I wanna watch it again cuz it's awesome and it's got a great summer feel (what a terrible excuse!)
And all the new ones I've been excited about! Faith, To the Beautiful You, I need romance 2 *sigh*
If you guys have seen all of these which ones shoulda get back to and the ones I must watch? I promise I'll watch them thoroughly...I just gotta split myself into 5 people and all the versions of me will sit and maybe do recaps together - don't you all wish it was possible at Dramabeans? ;D
P.S: I have never watched City Hunter (please don't jugde me) ...yet! so it's still on my list

Ok ok! I'm currently on the 5th episode of City Hunter :D
I gave up on I DO I DO - I knew where the show was going and the execution didn't hook me up plus the recaps are awesome help!
I'm still saving Ghost and King2Hearts - Big pleasant surprise about Lee Seungi - You guys are amazing and so commited! :D

It has been awhile since I was able to view DB in mobile mode. I don't know if it's my phone or DB doesn't have mobile mode any more. DB is so heavy to view on my phone due to the many pictures in the recaps :(

Hi ^^
Just wanted to let you know that I've been having problems checking for posts in DB since the 22nd.
For 2 days since Wednesday, the last post the website shows is the recap for Mah Boy and I was seriously worried because I thought you girls were getting behind on Gaksital and other recaps and just. NOooooooOOOOO.
I checked again today and I see that you have been updating all this time but it din't show for 2 days.
Just thought I'd let you girls know.
Thanks for your wonderful work ^^

I love the new look!!! I noticed the blue name and time stamps first, and thought it was a very pretty, soothing color...and then I randomly noticed the logo days later, and I thought it was really fresh and perfectly attuned to the dialogue/writing nature of the site.
Very good job, guys!
