Most of time these days change is bad because changes are made to mask problems or what not but Imust say GOOD JOB! AD obviouly some people will be upset at first but once they get used to it they will hopefully like it.
Cudooos....

Ok yeah it looks good, but if I wanted google search I'd go to google. I'm here to search and interact in the forums. My advanced forum search on backing up the latest movie gave me over 100 results about cell phones. This is not the same place that hooked me and kept me coming back for years.

What happened I was gone for a week.
What retard came up with this idea??
Don't fix what aint Brokin!!
I really dont care about the looks but this search engine is Trash its got to go I cant find anything, Your killing me.
It's hard anuf finding everything cause there is so many Posts and so much info.
Do you no How many more of the same questions are going to be asked because people cant find what there looking for.
Who ever came up with this idea needs to be fired.
PLEASE change the search

they still need to put a quote button on the forums. other than that it looks basically the same, other than the tabs at the top are a lot bigger now. it still looks good tho.

The top bar where it has "My Account, Mobile/PDA, About Us, Advertise here" looks like it's an ad. It's the right font size to be an AdSense ad and the last item says advert as well.
Also, the user info being joing to the top bar makes it look unpleasant.
Again about the top bar, I think that the "AfterDawn.com | AfterDawn.com Forums | Filepedia.com | MP3Lizard.com | DVD X Copy Forums | Blasteroids.com | Advertise on our sites" links would fit there perfectly.

I should mention that the search has become better.
I, before the change, was actualy thinking of a google powered search engine on AD, you guys did a great job on the search, and I take back what I said in previouse posts and agree that the new look is good, but could be worked on and the tabs should be downsized a little, either that or we can try the idea where you can toggle between the old layout and new layout, like you do with the profile page colour schemes, only it will be layout schemes, if that makes sense at all.

Truth be told i very rarely used the AD search since i joined here as i live on google and always find/found what i needed quickly; i've contributed to a fair few threads around the place and that involves a large amount of searching and cross-referencing; have also found the AD search to be very good to, though i've never had to use it very much. (i guess i use AD's search only really for seeking out multiposts and/or finding very easily most or all of the posts by a given poster).
To have both searches easily accessible helps matters. As someone who searches very heavily in every PC sitting (ie probably more than most people, whether it's for contributing to threads and/or moderating), i can vouch for the search function being very good indeed.

What I like about the search is having the option. I like the fact that I still use the old one to search through different threads. and i just use normal google page to search for the different software or guides that are not posted in aD.

Is it me or do the tabs look smaller now? If so that's a good improvement.

the tabs are actually a lot bigger. maybe you held down ctrl while scrolling.
There's no right, there's no wrong, there is only popular opinion.

Nah it's fine there in the corner. Maby the little bit of black up high should be changed to the backround say blue? Just my thoughts.

I know the site is run by ads, as all other sites are, but I'm sure some of the issues might be able to be easily resolved by not using things like "ad" in a file/directory or stylesheet/script name."
Ankoku: Has anybody found a fix to this, I used IE to see the new page, and it looks awesome, but AD just ain't the same on Firefox.
I'am sure it's not only problem you have with that shi**y Filterset.G, it's not even updated last 3 months.
Hint: EasyList is much better.
If that one has problem filters, you can disable any specific filter. (but only if you use Adblock Plus 0.7.x)
