  • It still has "Today's" for guests... and yup more registered members use "New" than "Today's".

    All navigation is still in the footer... anything you can't see is probably down there.

  • works o.k. latest osx/firefox.
    not a fan of the white on grey though. is the type bigger?

    Type is now default size for your browser, whereas before it was hard-coded smaller to cope with Windows fonts literally years ago.

  • i likey

  • huh??

  • It smells kinda funny.

  • Make it go away!

  • Testing on Mac Safari.
    All looks fine except,
    The post actions (rep, report, quote, etc) are butted right up against the bottom border.
    Add to rep opens a new tab rather than a floating box.
    The first two page numbers are butting together

    Some of the HTML is unnecessary and only adds to page weight, and some is invalid. You can make it a lot cleaner.
    - really? That's been obsolete for years. The name attribute is invalid on the element. If you're wanting to make something link to an in-page anchor (Back to top) then link it to an element's ID.
    And you have loads of


    elements doing nothing except putting borders on the top and bottom of the , which should just be css borders on the

    and

    elements with classnames like "big" when you could be applying styles based on them being inside the
    element.

  • Argh! My eyes!

  • I like it, but I miss the search box on the top right, where's that gone?

  • and new posts at the bottom

  • make it go away!!!!

  • I miss the little symbols on the left of the threads showing how many posts they have/if you've posted in it.

  • It's pretty messy in a lot of places. Can I have the old one back until you're finished?

  • Ah, I see your styleid.

  • I think its contagious.

    The old style spy has orange things in it today. Orange!

  • Trying to figure out which style is less conspicuous at my desk at work. That's all that really matters to me.

  • Type is now default size for your browser, whereas before it was hard-coded smaller to cope with Windows fonts literally years ago.

    It's huge though. Can you make it 80% or something?
    You only see one post on a netbook.

  • The old one is more suited to my new stealth browsing habits.

  • Still, once the new HTML is finalised you could in theory have user selectable styles by just changing the CSS.

  • I like it, but I miss the search box on the top right, where's that gone?

    I haven't coded it yet... it will return.

  • It's pretty messy in a lot of places. Can I have the old one back until you're finished?

    Just use the old one and ignore this... linky in the first post of this thread will get you back.

  • It's huge though. Can you make it 80% or something?
    You only see one post on a netbook.

    Tough, that's 100% font size for a browser, and it's only a hint... actual font-size is determined by the browser itself. Adjust the font-size in your browser options.

  • Oh my god that was horrible, thought I'd be stuck in that dark room forever. Couldn't find this thread to link back to old style. Please don't make it happen again, I implore you!

  • Not sure about the grey, but maybe that will change.

    One thing that doesn't look great are the lines dividing the posts. I don't really know what to suggest - a bit more space maybe?

    Also I think that the new style quotes are harder to read.

  • Ok. I've decided I really don't like the grey. It looks like one of those sketchy underground websites, and I find it hard on my eyes.

    Maybe make it more like Bike Radar.
