SlashGear Gets A Brand New Look!

As you may have spotted, we've had a serious change of style here at SlashGear this weekend.  Our new design gives us more room for bigger homepage images, better highlights feature content and editorials, and makes it easier to navigate between our network sites using the topbar.  It should also load faster, which means you can get to the latest news in consumer electronics even quicker, and has better integration with the SlashGear Forum, included threaded comments.

Our fresh new look is the handiwork of designer Onur from Monofactor, who has also been responsible for well-known themes such as Portfolious.  SlashGear has been tested with Internet Explorer 8, FireFox 3.5, Safari, Opera and Chrome, so if you're seeing any issues with any of those browsers, please let us know.

We've also taken the opportunity to drop support for IE6.  Given the leaps in security and usability since Microsoft ended development for the old browser, it makes sense for anybody still using it to upgrade to one of the many (free) alternatives.

This is among the first of a number of new developments for SlashGear and the R3 Media Network, which we have planned for the coming months.  Remember, you can follow us via our RSS feed, via the email mail-out, or on the official SlashGear Twitter, and get in touch with us here.
