I've been moaning about the Habbox Site Skin for ages. Why does no one pay attention to my great ideas. :'(

As I said before, changing the Site Skin to a more 'wow', attractive, appealing colour (instead of the current boring white one) will make Habbox look a whole lot better. The only reason 90% of people use Habbox is for the rare values, which they have to really. There isnt one person that can trade without the rare values. Since the skin is so dull, them people don't bother checking out anything else. They come for what they need and go. Because they think the contents, like the skin, will also be dull. If you were to change to a more snazzy skin, people might actually want to check out the rest of the site because it looks good. It's all about the way it looks. No ones going to check out something that looks crap, but they will check out something that looks nice. Changing the skin will also boost department 'visibility'. More people will be checking out the other things on the site, such as articles.

My logic is undeniable. Do what I say!

Well it could also be a case of 'great minds think alike' :P :D

What are others views please:)

The site layout is something that we will be looking into changing. A new or updated layout for aesthetic improvement is on a list of things that need changing and at some point in the future I'm quite sure you will see this change but it wont be immediate. Keeping the content on the site updated in the most important factor at the moment, as well as adding new content but I do acknowledge this is something that needs doing and probably will be done in hopefully the not so distant future.

Also as for the radio player this is something else that we are looking to change. We are planning to introduce a new radio panel in order to improve listener experience and we will be again at some point in the future working on that. Both of these changes are not easy changes to make to the site but they will both be done, the changing of the layout is quite a large change and the changing of the radio panel is one that needs to be thought out to figure out the best way to go about this. As for the enabling of the radio once you've selected "turn off for 31 days" I don't know if I'm misunderstanding you but currently an option appears saying "Listen to HabboxLive" which allows you to re-enable the player? Maybe I'm getting confused at what your trying to say - correct me if I'm getting this wrong.

Thanks for your suggestion and comments everyone, the content design department will be working hard to improve the site's visual and physical user experience.

Well, the original suggestions were from me and I've played around with my cookie settings and it turns out that it was a settings issue (on my end) not an issue with the site. Thanks for pointing this out! Also, a big thanks goes out to Catzy for making the voice of the people heard - if only there were more people around like you :)

You need to do something alike HabboMeadow did, they did features for their content, certain adverts to shout out "READ ME".

Take a leaf out of their book.
