WebmasterWorld Community Center Forum

I like the colors, and the slight value variation. The eye normally moves to the left to start reading with Western languages, so the little darker shade of lavender on the right side section headings works perfectly to attract the eye. Nice balance.

I think it's a very effective arrangement on the featured posts with the layout and font sizes. There's a good balance in emphasis.

Is it my imagination, or is it much faster loading? I'm on a 56K.

Must be a nervous time when you decide to publish such a major overhaul to such a much loved and well used site....

But as an earlier post said i think the font size for the 'highlighted posts' is too big.

Also I was just wondering why you were using font tags when I see you are using a style sheet.

and in the right hand col the cells repeat the widths ie 75% when you only need to do it once in a cell and the others will inherit this size.

Mine too. A bit difficult to read.

After I read a post, or reply to a post, and I click on the "HOME" link in the blue bar at the top, it takes me to the old home page.

Then I have to go to the url and erase the url until I just have [webmasterworld.com...] so it will take me to the new page.

It makes me crazy.

And I agree about the logo needing to be bigger...
"Ain't nobody gonna blow your horn."

I think I have that fixed grnidone.

I'll see if I can adjust the font size on the feature posts jimmykav.
The deal with the fonts is that I didn't used to use closing </font> font tags. That generally works, but I've found out it could mess up some browsers. So, closed all font tags, and made sure it validated. The descriptions on the forums index page are in Verdana. Don't like? Do like?

Is using frames one of thoses?

I knew I liked you for a reason, BT ;)

>The right hand forum list is an idea. I fear the bandwidth >hit. It would take 4k per page.

What about just putting the right hand forum list *for that section* that you happened to be in.

So, let's say I am reading a post in the AV discussion. On the right side would be just the forums in the "Search Engine World" section.

Is this the day from which the Highlighted Posts were drawn or the current date? If it is Current Date then I think it is pulling the date from the server and not from the members settings? It is a little confusing for those of us that are a day ahead...

All in all though a very usefull page. Although I do miss the "Red Balls" on the Fora List at the right.

The new page is fantastic: several information all in one page.

I use the old forum page only to reset the last read pointers; in the new page, you have not the possibility to do it: red pointers appear ever.

As it is now, every forum that is displayed has to compare a date to a date in a cookie. That takes a long time and makes for a big cookie. The new system will instead be a single number that compares to the last read number on the whole system. Each forum will know what the highest serial number in it's forum is and compare from there. Much, much easier.
