This is just me, but I think if digodiego's second post would have been the first post, it would have come off better, as it mentions several things they noticed

CBpop:
Hi digodiego,
I'm glad you decided to come back and to contribute constructive suggestions.  Designing a site that will please all platforms, browsers and visuals that will please everyone  is difficult at best and at times impossible.   DCM is a site of many volunteers and the progress of change may be slow, but it is happening, that's why I continue to support the site in any way I can.

I believe you have some valid points that are being worked on by the DCM staff.  Overall, the goal is to preserve and enjoy the public domain (PD) comics ( many rare and almost impossible to find) of a past age in a digital format that all can access and enjoy.  DCM is a work in progress that meets that goal and I am sure will change as necessary to improve.  Just hang with us, I am sure you will find the effort worth it.

digodiego, I recognize a bit of myself in your initial post. I fight it, but I sometimes still get too blunt for my own good.

That said, I went to the links you suggested. Mostly I saw lots extraneous clutter. And I sure do not want to be greeted here by a Facebook pop-up as soon as I land.

Personally I do not see the navigation or search problems you do. But, I am lucky enough to have a fairly extensive knowledge of early U.S. comics. As Yoc says, search functions could be improved for less informed folks.

A visually "good" site is in the eye of the beholder, as filtered thru that viewer's culture and background. In the U.S., for instance, the Google search page is very minimal. However, in South Korea, the same base page is as cluttered as any of the pages you linked to. Maybe more so. That is apparently what the Koreans want & expect.

My opinion: digodiego has got a point.

You know me, I'm super-loyal to DCM, but I still ache for features like CB+ provides:
Chronological search ("Newsstand") and genre search ("Categories").
See it there: http://comicbookplus.com/

DCM is a website aimed at learned comic historians.
A newbie landing here does not know what to look for!

He has to pick a publisher or a title at random and spend hours of clicking and searching.
How much easier would it be to hit a genre search:
"Show me romance books. Ah. There are a lot of them and obviously from different companies..."
"Which books were published in 1945?"

Any beginner visiting here first has to work expertly through GRAND COMIC DATABASE to get an answer to his questions.
Who does that? Except for us learned comic historians?

Yoc:
Hi T,
Yep, by adding the GCD data to CB+ it opened the door to all those other features.
Hence the reason I've been wanting to add GCD data since 2008 or so.
