Idk about this. Maybe I don't like changes but it kind of wierds me out. Never thought there was a problem with the old.
I know site discussion but nsg has life.

CaptainObvious.This whole new site is geared for the app and mobile browsing.
CaptainObvious.Mr. Bishop made a good point in Site Discussion that provided context. This whole new site is geared for the app and mobile browsing. Users on desktop are fewer and far between. I thought the new design looked dated and kinda amateur, but if you view it on your phone it works so much fucking better. So I'll take a less than desirable desktop experience.
soulskierAs always, we'll bitch about it for the first few weeks but slowly adapt and forget it ever changed

All I really care about is that the buttons are where my muscle mammary goes so it has that going for it

Mr.BishopYeah this is exactly it right here.
We had to make a call, because the new generation of skiers simply don't use laptops/desktop to access entertainment. The swing towards mobile has increased in speed exponentially all across the internet.

GORILLAWALLACEsorry dude but that excuse is lame as. why not have a mobile and desktop version like every other social media site?
theabortionatorI know site discussion but nsg has life.
cornholioNot a fan of the update. Not really willing to get an app. Oh well, I'll either adapt or come around less
eheathWhy don't you want to get the app?
iFlipI also have no interest in getting the app. I prefer to use a computer for all of my browsing. Larger screen, easier to type, less squinting at small letters, and I can navigate to my areas of interest much more quickly..
I agree that a larger segment of the younger generation uses their phones/tablets for a majority of what they do. However, to ignore the core group of computer users is short-sighted and ill advised. If NS drives away its older users, who is going to be providing quality content on the forums and elsewhere? Moving to an exclusively app-based interface is a suicidal move for NS. When I am forced to move to the app-view I will stop visiting NS, as I believe many other will as well.
eheathI just got a notification you quoted me and i clicked it and i can reply to you. Just sayin its really nice
.lenconCool now we can all reply to each other quicker...
Really dude?
But to be fair, that is the only thing about the app I like haha. I got the app and hated it but then saw that there were notifications. Now I keep the app simply for notifications, but I still use my browser on phone/laptop to log on.
eheathWhat? You have the app but use your browser on your phone? Why? The app is the mobile site wrapped into an app so is easier to use on a phone, can you explain your reasoning?

GORILLAWALLACEit seems like the people you are targeting (kids, who stick to insta/snapchat/twitter and not much else) are the people least likely to make an account and contribute.
Mr.Bishopummmm......

treebeardthis is so important it needs to be restated.
treebeardthis is a terrible example. instagram and snapchat were both originally intended for mobile. you cant compare them to a website that became an app
Mr.Bishopummmm......

the bottom line is that ns is being made into something that it was never meant to be. like a lowered 2002 dodge caravan with a body kit and spinning rims. why?
I'm not being an asshole just for fun, im just bummed that the dying community that is the ns forums is being stomped out by stuff like these made for mobile updates.

milk_manWait.. people actually don't like the app? What's wrong with you guys lol.. using browser over the app on your phone, wut? Sounds like y'all just don't wanna change
eheathWhat? You have the app but use your browser on your phone? Why? The app is the mobile site wrapped into an app so is easier to use on a phone, can you explain your reasoning?
Mr.Bishopwhy anyone would use a browser over the app is beyond me. I think it's just people arguing for the sake of arguing.
VinnieFThen why cater the desktop site to mobile browser if mobile users should and are using the app?
