Looks good, loads much faster too.

The skills tab could be a lot clearer when working out the % though (as it seems to be different when certain conditions are met).

Commas could also be added to the skills tab (e.g. 200,000,000 instead of 2000000000).

How does it work out your favourite combat method?

Also, on the profile page it currently displays your 4 highest skills. If we have multiple 200Ms can we have the option choose which gets displayed as first?

First impressions are good, I like the look of the new Adventurer's log.

The combat style pie chart looks very nice, but I was wondering, does the magic segment include all magic training, or just combat magic?

I suspect it shows all magic (ie. the total magic xp), but still, it's a nice idea :)

There are times when refreshing/clicking on a tab or link logs me out automatically from the site. Loading time has improved significantly compared to the old Adventurer's Log. It provides more detail as well but I feel like the interface can still be re-adjusted so it doesn't look too crowded.

I'm having issues with the new Adventurer's Log.

1. It shows the incorrect player chat head. I've had this issue for... Let's say months, it has since been disregarded. (change the use of /[player name]/chat.png to its ID, as so m=avatar-rs/avatar.png?id=20882812). I'm sure this could be looked into, and would also fix all of the top hiscored players that are having issues when it comes to having the wrong photo (which a lot do).

2. Chat heads in the 'Friends' tab are quite pixelated.

I know I've complained about the chat head issue for about 8 months, but it's extremely annoying and I'm unable to enjoy this feature of membership, which I did. The Adventurer's Log is the only one to show it right if you load this feature first. (Before hiscores).

You took what was a simple, streamlined layout where everything could be viewed on one page, and turned it into a cluttered-looking layout split over multiple pages.

I don't like being critical as I know you did this with the best intentions, but I preferred the old layout.

Could we have the option to toggle between the new layout and the old?

Hey, I was checking out the new design (looks sweet btw) when I noticed that under recent activities it says I received the 10m jackpot from treasure hunter. The problem is that I didn't haha. I got 100k. Unless I was suppose to get 10m =P ...

Issue

No way to view all skill levels without having to scroll.
Solution

I think the current skill page has benefits, to view more info, but adding a skill summary would be nice, where much like the first ever A-Log, you just have all your skills there, and their levels.
The summary could go where "skills" is now on the main profile page, it could easily fit in there with small icons for each skill. If you want to see more detailed information like the order of your best skills you can do that by going to the page.

Issue

Not enough recent activity logs.
Solution

Simply add more, or add the RSS feed with 50 entries back if there is no way to add it to the actual page. It's very easy to fill about 10 slots and people love to look further back in time. The same goes for friends activity.

Issue

Combat comparison, melee isn't really correct as it simply states attack.
Solution

Make the melee stat an attack/strength average. (Not defence as since it can be trained WITH magic/ranged as well as melee).

Issue

Are best skills really that important to people?
Solution

Add sorting options to the skills page (including reverse order). Alphabetical, best skills, standard order from the list in game and any others people might think of.

Overall - great job, big improvement over the previous adventurers log.

I like the new look, some icons are a bit oversized for my personal preference but I do like the look.

The only other bug I think that had not been picked up on the old or new one is the online friends list.

(I'm not sure if it's suppose to do this or not but here it is anyway)

Several players may be ingame with their chat on but only 2-3 out of maybe 7-8 are showing as online and the ones not showing do not have the profile set to private. They have it set to friends or everyone.

Thanks for the update :) .

All the best,
