Some more design changes and usability improvements are coming within few weeks. Your proposals are accepted and will be considered by Vladimir Yakovlev himself. Write them just here.

The Timus contains many unique problems from past contests. I think, It is not bad to make an opportunity to play virtual contests.

Virtual contests are not planned yet

Frankly I don't like the background of the Online Status much.
It looks like some online judges I have visited and the color seems to be rather bright.
In my opinion , I think the old background is better and you don't need to change it.
Maybe the old background is gloomy but perhaps with me , it is the specific characteristics of Timus.
It is only my feeling , not to comment or judge anything :) .

I am fully agree with N.M.Hieu. IMHO, Old interface would better.

Yes, the blue-grey-black design was very strict and cool. I don't like green "Accepted" ...

Yes, the old design was much better.

First of all, let's discuss it seriously and respectfully, ok? (I mean your writitng style). Second, the old design better fits the whole site, it's much more unique, than green "Accepted" and red "Wrong Answer" (acm.tju.edu.cn, acm.uva.es(inverted), acm.sgu.ru(inverted). And, third, personally I got used to it and I'm not happy to see it disappearing.

> First of all, let's discuss it seriously and respectfully, ok? (I mean your writitng style).

Sure. I respect you so much that I even do not preach you at your writing style :)

> the old design better fits the whole site

All the site will be redisigned within few monthes. So new design will fit it, youu will see.

> it's much more unique, than green "Accepted" and red "Wrong Answer"

Nonsense. If there is smth really good, why not to use it, no matter who invented it. Color helps you to recognize the content faster, so it must be used. Red and green colors are perfect to reflect an essence of "yes" and "no", "go" and "stop" "allowed" and "prohibited", "accepted" and "rejected". And it were not tju or uva who discovered it :)

> And, third, personally I got used to it and I'm not happy to see it disappearing.

You will get used to the new design soon. I can promise ;)

P.S. As for me I like a new design very much. I cannot deny it is much more beautiful, professional, modern and usable than the old one.

So let's stop then this useless discussion. You have your opinion, I have mine and that's it. It's the matter of taste and, thus, there is no "wrong" (as you've said) or correct opinions. Dixi.

Please, do not mix up color scheme and usability. You may don't like new colors, fonts and borders of Status Online - it's your own business, but you can't deny a better usability of new design. We will improve usability of other pages and the whole site in the near future. The colors and fonts will be inevitably changed too under the main goal - usability.
