In case you missed it yesterday, we're testing out a new look (but familiar feel) at the Cave (and on the Cave page only for the time being). It includes a prettier navigation bar, more consistent sidebar, capped container widths (i.e. not expanding so wide on your screen), and easier access to your notifications, friends, and PMs.
We've been able to implement much of the feedback received about the page in the last 24 hours. Here are the latest changes.
We're opening up voting for the new Cave page layout again, including for those of you who already gave us your feedback yesterday.
In short, visit the Cave again today and give us a smiley or a frown face to let us know what you think. In addition, post your specific likes/dislikes on this blog post or via tickets.
Thank you for helping make the look and feel of Egg Cave a community effort!

thank you ❤️

@Orderedchaos @ian like it so much better! But you might want to change the background from the normal fields thing to the halloween?
saturna • 25 Oct 2017, 5:45 PM
Still looks great on mobile! But I'm happy to hear the web version got adapted as well 😊
eskimomo • 25 Oct 2017, 5:46 PM
this is just a tiny thought/ suggestion if we had our own little shops and maybe instead of using ec to increase space could use 50 cc
eskimomo • 25 Oct 2017, 5:50 PM
to increase shop sizes that way there'd more $ to the site and and more ec flow through out egg cave 😊 its just a thought though as I'm
eskimomo • 25 Oct 2017, 5:52 PM
sure that would probably be bit of work to do O.o just have so many items sitting i don't use and hard to earn ec with my laggy macbook ☹️
anarchy • 25 Oct 2017, 5:54 PM
I like it a lot! I do think the top Halloween bar is a bit too thick, it kinda takes away from the top menu bar.
Orderedchaos • 25 Oct 2017, 5:55 PM
@wigglytuff This is just a test, so we're not as worried about the background right now.
anarchy • 25 Oct 2017, 5:56 PM
I think it would look good if it was as thin as it is on regular EC, maybe thinner even. Otherwise it looks super nice and user-friendly
veritaspunk • 25 Oct 2017, 5:58 PM
@black I agree I generally like everything about this update except the more generic "heavy" looking Halloween Fair Bar :/
blueedition25 • 25 Oct 2017, 6:01 PM
I love it,but one thing when you go to the cave and it scrolls I noticed the words and numbers are bigger,personally for me that is a
blueedition25 • 25 Oct 2017, 6:02 PM
problem bc I have glasses and it kind of messes with my vision.
megadash • 25 Oct 2017, 6:04 PM
Thank you for all of your hard work! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
icedmagma • 25 Oct 2017, 6:06 PM
This is so nice!
bribri1114845 • 25 Oct 2017, 6:07 PM
I preferred the event stuff (halloween fair but I'm guessing that's where all event stuff will go) on the side, but majority rules, I guess!
bribri1114845 • 25 Oct 2017, 6:08 PM
Otherwise, I like the auto scroll and other changes. Though I still have to scroll when seeing/naming the creature. 😋
raindrops • 25 Oct 2017, 6:24 PM
Much better!! I absolutely LOVE the automatic scrolling down on the cave. Ur rt on that! Thx for listening to all player opinions. 😊
ethereality • 25 Oct 2017, 6:51 PM
OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BLESS YOU ECT THANKS FOR AUTO SCROLL ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ THIS MADE MY DAY ❤️ ❤️
ALSO THANK YOU FOR NOTIFICATIONS BAR ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
sparklefox • 25 Oct 2017, 6:53 PM
Aw, no more sidebar. Oh well. It's still improved, and I'm still liking it. The autoscroll is really nice.
peachycupcake525 • 25 Oct 2017, 7:01 PM
I absolutely LOVE how it scrolls down for you now!
fakeworld • 25 Oct 2017, 7:36 PM
I’m mobile right now and made a mistake and voted ☹️ I don’t know which one I clicked lol. It look great mobile!
fakeworld • 25 Oct 2017, 7:37 PM
Can’t wait to view it from my laptop.
arvak • 25 Oct 2017, 8:21 PM
I didn't even know I needed that auto-cave scrolling, but I love it!
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:44 PM
Hey, that auto scroll looks neat! I really like it!
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:46 PM
Also imo the halloween bar looks just right now. Atm it looks way too thin, and making it even thinner would be completely unnecessary and
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:46 PM
So much better! The auto scroll makes things so much easier. Just that little of a change. It was almost a hassle to use the cave before.
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:47 PM
not fast read-friendly at all. A thicker bar pops out more and makes it easier to see the timers and such. 😉
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:48 PM
All I would have to say is I'm not sure about the colors. The yellow for unread notifications looks odd. Same with the solid black on hover.
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:49 PM
@blueedition25 wouldn't bigger numbers and such actually help you instead? I've never seen someone who wears glasses asking for smaller
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:49 PM
Overall, better than current and round 1 of changes. I like it!
stuff (me included! hehe)
prairie • 25 Oct 2017, 8:49 PM
I feel like it is pretty good!! 😃 ❤️
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:50 PM
I don't understand why we need the friend requests up there though. Maybe if that showed # of online friends? But requests seems weird.
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:51 PM
lol @lucas We keep interrupting each other 😋
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:53 PM
@brad true, imo showing the # of online friends would make more sense 😱
lucas • 25 Oct 2017, 8:54 PM
@brad yea xD at least the intercalated posts look pretty!
brad • 25 Oct 2017, 8:59 PM
@lucas haha, yep. Between the dark and purple 😋
bingo • 25 Oct 2017, 9:13 PM
I like it a lot - I preferred the Halloween bar on the side though since I don't like scrolling all the way to the top but it's not awful 😋
jello • 25 Oct 2017, 9:27 PM
BELL IS LIFE NOTIFICATION BELL if it has the notification bell then i love it oh and if it has no page breaks on mobile then its the best
blueedition25 • 25 Oct 2017, 9:55 PM
@lucas my prescription is strong so when I look at the numbers with my glasses they become fuzzy
veritaspunk • 25 Oct 2017, 10:11 PM
@lucas Are you looking at the bar from mobile ? From desktop it's very "imposing" when trying to interact other places on the site.
sodabearjess • 25 Oct 2017, 10:31 PM
Not much of a change from what we already have, which I guess is a good thing 😊 I like the layout in the top right and how the buttons have
sodabearjess • 25 Oct 2017, 10:33 PM
an auto dropdown. The auto scroll is only after returning to the cave, you still have to scroll down to see the egg you click on.
taikutsu • 25 Oct 2017, 10:39 PM
I like how it looks now.
snowwall • 25 Oct 2017, 10:51 PM
What I like: colour-coded health bar, narrow and bright Hallows bar, messages separate from pings (yellow/white is hard to see, go orange)
snowwall • 25 Oct 2017, 10:55 PM
Dislikes: autoscroll makes me dizzy, besides, I go with "Zoom out to fit all page", otherwise "Return to cave" needs scrolling anyway.
snowwall • 25 Oct 2017, 10:57 PM
Dislikes: clearing out a "taken" name. Before, I could amend it easily. Also a bug in cove expansion message, so "Need more?" isn't a link.
snowwall • 25 Oct 2017, 10:58 PM
(And, as a non-Vaka person, I'd love a notification of smallest health, too, not just average, which is misleading)
dusskfall • 25 Oct 2017, 11:05 PM
Like this one a lot better. just one thing.. the number of cave steals and most importantly time till next steal would be better above the
