Have to remember the Return to Thread Index is now in the middle, otherwise excellent - especially for my old tired eyes.

On my computer, with favorite tab open the right side,
which includes poster times are cut off. You need to scroll
to see it.

But on the webtv, everything is present, but on the forum
page, the last poster time runs into the view count making
one large #.

I'm really not sure how well WebTV supports modern CSS... all of the emulators I tried basically turned the site into one big mess. But there is coding to keep the two columns separate, so it must be ignoring.

Is there any chance that the "What's New" stuff on the left could be excluded from the thread views? It makes the forum very wide meaning that if you have to scroll to the right to see the rest of what has been written?

If you really want it displayed all the time, could it possibly go on the right instead?

Yeah, the new design has always been like that (remember folks, the new design premiered last November). The old repeating wallpaper was a bit passe, and it saves a 7kb download at any rate! ;-)

I agree about the font........ either it is too large or too wide or both....... a little hard to get used to, but I think overall the site looks absolutely great!

I find that if I reduce the text size by one "notch" in FireFox, that I like it better, but then it's a "smide" too small.

I do like the "View Code" button.

It will make us all better HTMLers!!!

Great job, D!

How's this for the font size? It should now be rendering the next size down.

OK, and due to several "comments" I've moved "Return to Thread Index" back to the far left.

Excellent!

Now for some gobble-de-gook...

In the old design I was using "font size=2", but with modern CSS coding you can't really do that... you have to specify a specific point or pixel size, or a percent (or "em"). I don't want to do the first two as they stop users from changing the font size in older IE browsers, so I've been using percentages. I had picked 86% for my normal font size, but I've now gone down to 84%.

Now browsers don't render fonts with that much precision - for instance 85% through 90% actually render at the exact same size. However I noticed that for users using NORMAL system fonts and DEFAULT browser font size (medium), then 86% rendered bigger than 84%, and 84% rendered the same as "size=2". If you used different settings then you may or may not notice the change (I don't), but it seems that the vast majority of visitors are using normal/medium.
