Was just getting used to the old new look. I personally don't care for it too much. Seems to do a lot to draw attention to the advertisements though. WTG.

Big word CRAVE next to BIG condom ad, not so appropriate for the office...

I still miss the old black background.

Have to agree with the other posters about the condom ad. If you are going to run large ads on the page, then make them a little more family and business friendly.

I really preffered the old new one (the iteration before this one), even with the condom ad. The grey and orange just don't work. Throw in some red.

Looks interesting and shows promise. Get rid of the condom ads though. They're too big (no pun intended) . :)

I must agree with the other commenters, I actually started craving condoms.

I thought the new look was for the condom ad. Kinda how the layout for CNET's main page would change for the double banner MAC adds. I know the industry is about change, but the original black background 2 itirations back was the best. Maybe keep the layout, ditch the condoms and give us the black background again. And ya, I associate Crave with red, not condom amber.

For the last couple of weeks I've had to double click the back button in order to go back a page. This happens wether I'm browsing Crave at home or work and only happens in crave or Cnet. Really annoying. FYI, looking at the status bar on first click to go back it starts loading something from Sphere.com or something like that.

Looks good to me. Can't really remember the old look, but I guess that's a good sign.

Also, The Fact that you said the website,
'Has a new wrapper'
Makes me laugh a lot.

Leslie, sorry but I gotta gripe about the adds posted in between posts that just started happening. Honestly, this is very annoying and I link these types of adds to sites of way lesser caliber than crave. Please, please, please get rid of the advertisements in between posts, if we don't click on them while they are on the side, we definitely won't click on them when they are in our way. What's next, pop ups?
