Fisrt thoughts
Authored by: gidds on Feb 09, '03 07:58:27PM
My main bugbear about the layout is at least partially addressed: the way it looks when you don't have your browser window maximised.  Having only two columns instead of three is a great help (though just one would be even better!).  Oddly enough, when I first viewed it, it wrapped the main column to my width perfectly; however, after logging in, it then reformatted to a wider size, forcing horizontal scrolling again...

shouldn't be doing that; I tested it all the way down to 800x600 and there's no scrolling ... not sure what to suggest...

That's odd. I often have a lot of browser windows up, so I keep 'em small (650x750ish); but the beta site scrolls sideways so far that it looks well over 900 wide in all! (Safari)

Don't like the mouseover effect on the links...should just change color or underline.

Heh... I *do* like the mouseover color change. Makes it much harder to miss an in-line link to a forum thread or external page. Course, I use that link style on all of my web pages, so I'm biased :oP.

As for the other changes, I'm looking forward to seeing the other color schemes. It may be that I don't like change, but I think the current one looks better than the new one. I'll try the others, of course. I do like the fact there are fewer backgrounds, but I like the various shades of blue.

I like the use of pop-ups to condense some options, and moving the forums link to the left (since I read L-to-R).

The new site icons look nice.

Mouseovers...

Don't worry, both mouseover and normal link themes will be offered...
