we've changed theLipster, given a facelift and adapted it to be much more like what people were asking for it to be. hope you all like it a bit more now.

expect a much-trailed DiS facelift by the wonderful Tom Waddington (who also did theQuietus.com, he's a new addition to our small team) once ThrashHits.com has been built
Eugh
It is all bollocks on my end... text over pictures, can't see the logo. I like the aesthetic though... kinda.
^^^^This
it looks bollocks. It still sounds like a feminist propaganda website.
really?
what set-up are you using? we've tested it in loads of browsers...eeeek!
I'm using IE7 (I think)
and it looks wack.
Maybe it's 6 then. I dunno.
that better?
Yeah!
Sorry sean, had to work for a bit.
Yeah, all good here.
"It still sounds like a feminist propaganda website"
Wtf?
Was a magazine at my uni called 'Lippy'
"written by women, for women"
So it's an easy connection for me to make.
Oh, I see
Still, you're making feminism sound a bit like fascism.
yep, lots of overlap
with text and pictures
we're on it
The layout is really bad
I clicked on the link and didn't dare go any further.
ok
so we've just tried a bunch of browsers and there's a problem with Internet Exporer 6 which we're fixing. DANG!
Looks reasonable
on my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.16) but a lot of empty space: big blank lines below every 2 articles. There's a lot of scrolling up and down required to see all the content on the front page.
have you got an ad blocker on?
because that's where the adverts are
I'm using Flock
and was about to say that there are blank spaces - between articles (namely Amy Winehouse / Joe Lean, and Kayne West / P Diddy) - if the adverts are there, then it looks fine on my browser.
Yes
good old Firefox ad blocker
IE7 here and it looks fine
nice clean look
of course you should have expected people on this site to be neagative towards it.
IE 6
Looks wrong.
we've fixed this now
looks all good to me
on my PC/Firefox combo.
..
looks great
a new toy at last!
it looks awful
on my ie 6.
It SHOULD be fixed now
anyone in IE6 care to clarify?
Yeah, tis cool
.Works.
A few too many google ads when you first go on the site
but not too shabby otherwise. Everything seems to be written by Rebecca - what happened to all the other writers? I know Jude left, but the only other person seems to be "Mike"...
(and I don't really see the point of a 25 word review...)
maybe ive missed something
but whats the point of lipster?
..or thrash hits? most of the stuff is covered here on DiS. the stuff that isn't...well...thats usually cos its a bit ghey.
i preferred being able to browse
all recent stuff in that sidebar, rather than scrolling all the way through.
Still, I'm glad it's back. I seem to be in the minority (here) but i love thelipster.
