Me being proactive

[cscgal]

Yes ... there's a new style here :) I will, however, be proactive and be the first to admit that it is currently *unfinished* ... Unfortunately, there were a bunch of things that required the new version to be live before they could be tweaked/set up.

So please ... lay it on me. The good. The bad. The ugly. It'll be a work in progress for the next day or two, so if you have something to complain about it, now's the time to say it!

Making the post appear vertical in lieu of horizontal is paining my eyes , I am sorry if you do not like the feedback.

So far, I like the look although I haven't explored fully. The first thing I noticed that I'd like corrected is putting the "Community" tab back on each page rather than accessed only at the bottom of the main forum page.

ithelp: I'm not sure what you mean about the post appearing vertical?

WaltP: Huh? Community tab? Not sure what you mean.

The width of the post per line are same as that of google ad's width , so earlier if a post was coming in 1 line , now it is spilling over 3 lines.

What resolution are you at?

[Nick Evan]

the good:
- The BIG quick reply box

the bad:
- where's the subscription spy??

the ugly:
- see attachment. Rounded edges script failed
- you should look at the site with 1024x768, a lot of thing are a bit misaligned with low resolutions.

I'll add to this list if I see more :)

ps. Don't know if it's something on my end, but when I disabled ad-block to view the entire site the complete site hung and I was unable to post. This wasn't an issue last week, but it could just be a glitch

It's fine on my side, I can live with these adverts

Yeah, it could very well be a glitch on my side, but I thought I should mention it.
It hangs on : loading simple.thumbshots.com

and found another good:
Enormous searchbox on top of everything. I'm sure that I'll be pointing a lot of lazy newbies to it in the nearby future :)

[Nick Evan]

Found another bad too:
- where did the software-dev lounge go?

I'm on IE7 now. FF3 tells me that the host is unreachable... Never saw that before...
[edit] nevermind, problem miraculously disappeared :)

[cscgal]

All of the lounge forums for each category seemed like a good idea at the time, but they ended up just not working out. People were posting in them instead of selecting the appropriate forum (especially in Tech Talk!) and activity was dismal. I therefore combined all of the lounges into the "IT Professionals' Lounge" here in the Coffee House ... I mean, the Community Center :)

Great. Now I have to plow through even more threads a day.. You show no mercy... ;)

Community center sounds a bit futuristic compared to Coffee house. In my imagination it's a big white (oval) room with white furniture and all people standing their looking at big projected screens where threads are displayed and... Or maybe I should read less sci-fi... :)

Editing post has some small glitches
The white edit area overlap frame on the right side and there is very little/none space between the buttons (Edit/Reply/Multi Quote/Quick Reply) and this editing frame

[Nick Evan]

And where did the code-snippets go?

[peter_budo]

Yes, code-snippets and tutorials are missing from menu options

[cscgal]

There are small links to them in the sidebar but that is something that will be fixed tomorrow :)

[crunchie]

I like the look, but where has the Techies Lounge gone?

I probably cannot see it for looking :)

All the tech lounges are in one large lounge now, in the community center, under IT Professional's Lounge.

Lookin good Dani. I like it quite a bit.

[gerbil]

Ah! At last.. full screen text width, better space utilisation... someone IS awake at the wheel. Ripper job.
