I really don't like how this new top bar thing looks now. First off, what used to show my avatar is just a generic symbol and it doesn't show my username anymore. I know I currently have the default avatar, but it looks different than that symbol. If I accidentally log out, I'm not sure I would notice before making a comment/edit as an anonymous contributor.

The drop-down windows are WAYY too thick. It looks like you made it that way just to fit that not-avatar in there. So when I hover over my not-avatar, I get like 5 huge notifications plus the drop-down that I used to get when hovering over my username. The thick windows just take up an irresponsible amount of real estate on my screen when this wasn't a problem before. And I like how it used to say Log in v | Sign up.

It looks kinda like Windows 8, but I really don't like that style. I think I could deal with it if it was just under the wikia tab on the left, but I never really use that section.

The "Search this wikia/Search all of Wikia" is a really nice touch. Might wanna keep that. The "Start a wiki" looks acceptable to me, even if it doesn't look like a button anymore.

Please tell me you're going to make the colors customizeable again. The Toontown Rewritten Wiki has a lot of bright colors, so the top bar used to be a dark color to give it some contrast. Something close to a dark brown, or maroon, or burnt umber... White looks pretty bad. As if the page should have loaded something there, but something went wrong. Oh, I just realized that the "Search this wiki" isn't where it used to be. Now there's a blank space right next to the number of Pages on This Wiki. Not sure I like that, but maybe I'll get used to it.

Hopefully, you'll be able to work out those optimization problems you're talking about. Personally, I think it's the adds that get to me when I have like 10 or 20 tabs open. Maybe it tries to initialize it 20 times, but you could MAKE IT initialize 1 time so it can run 20 times. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, and I didn't notice the pop-up on the bottom-right of the screen talking about this at first. Someone actually had to point it out. Those pop-ups don't usually say stuff I'm interested in and that's trained me to actively ignore that section of the screen. Maybe I'll pay it more attention in the future.
