So the new update to the FFXI wiki is terrible, and a complete pain in the *** to navigate compared to the previous version. So, I was wondering if anyone had any other sites that could be viable as a resource database?

Aww someone has some personal feelings for the Wiki! Didn't mean to offend you, sorry. I simply was asking if there was another source. Someone is touchy. :)

To be honest though, is anyone actually happy with it?

Actually I just changed the skin of the Wiki back to what it was before. It really isn't hard to do, and it makes life a whole lot easier.

No it's terrible, and those trees are the worst quality JPG ever. I'm a digital media major and the site is like... the perfect example of what not to do with a website. It's poison to my eyes and it makes me want to murder babies/small cute animals.

Requires logging in, and also on top of that they're making that permanent soon.

Did the creator of it get hit with a bat or something? What would cause such a drastic change - and for the worse?

Old layout wasn't very shiny, functional but not pleasing or displeasing to the eye. The change I'm sure was meant to make it functional and pleasing.... except they did it wrong, and it's way worse.

Change was made to fit more ads into the page. There is like 50% info, 50% ads.

Agreed. As if anybody actually cared what the site looked like in the first place.

"Wow! Information on every mission and quest, every crafting recipe currently known, every jobs' abilities, spells and skill caps, as well as various user guides filled with personal experiences and advice.

But there's not enough pretty pictures OMG I'm never using this site again!"
