From the Ningin blog, by Hoc on 2008-08-13 02:22 AM (original link)

For the 3rd time this year, we’ve changed the Ningin layout based on numerous feedback and critiques. So thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts and opinions! We hope you find this incarnation a little easier to use and a little easier on the eyes. (You might press F5 to refresh your browser if things look weird.) Though keep in mind that Ningin is constantly a work in progress. There are many more features and applications we have on our roadmap. Not only that, but we’re in the process of adding many, many more bloggers in the next few weeks. Expect more events, more content partnerships, and more great things in general.

One minor change that we’ve made somewhat unceremoniously a couple of weeks ago is our tagline – from Asian Media Exchange to Asian Media Community. (How many people actually noticed that?) We feel that the word “community” fits us better because that’s in a nutshell who and what we are. With the help of you, our users, Ningin is a community of people interested in all things related to Asian media. Wonderful things tend to happen when you put people together with similar interests and that’s been a big driver of growth and ideas for us.

me likes! very good job!

In Internet explorer, the buttons for the slideshow thing doesn’t seem to display right. I’m using IE 7.

Definitely an upgrade over the last version. I like the that there’s more photos. Let’s see what else...The menu is a bit different. I miss the icons in the menu.

Thanks for letting us know. Just hit refresh and it should be ok. Why are you using IE anyway!? It’s all about Firefox!

There was serious debate about the icons. On the one hand they looked cool and it was meant to emulate your quick launch bar on your computer. But on the other, they took up too much space and we’re making them smaller made them look weird. The decision came down to the fact that we’re going to have a lot of new apps and special sections, so it was just easier if we removed them.

I like everything you guys do! Another great job

It’s an upgrade!
