Everything has changed...aaaah

Bur I like it so far, good work guys

Mankz · 11th May 2007, 08:32

Yeah, I noticed that when I came on this morning.

Good stuff!

(still not %100 about the keyboard for the forums, but it's still growing on me

)

MrWillyWonka · 11th May 2007, 08:41

Forgive me for being stupid (especially as a moderator) but what exactly has changed? The only difference I see is a different header - which happens occasionally).

I know we are expecting changes, but can't see anything...

bubsterboo · 11th May 2007, 08:44

All of the front page posts are outlined.
Hm, news page is very different!

DougEdey · 11th May 2007, 08:45

There's also direct linking to forum threads of articles from the main page (little speech bubble), the Home -> Forums arrow bit has changed as well.

Personally, I think the new keyboard thing is because they're using vBulliten

MrWillyWonka · 11th May 2007, 08:54

Ah, thought you were talking about the forums! Now I see it. I usually read the main page later in the day, which is why I didn't notice!

It's 99% the same as the old one. The background colour is different (and technically the keyboard is a MacBook rather than a PC notebook) but otherwise it's the same

bubsterboo · 11th May 2007, 09:07

This never happened to me before....
Any idea whats going on?

RTT · 11th May 2007, 09:07

bubsterboo · 11th May 2007, 09:08

Ahhh.... magic. Thank you

DougEdey · 11th May 2007, 09:35

I just got a couple of internel server errors, a couple of refreshes fixed it.

Jamie · 11th May 2007, 09:36

Yeah, I uploaded a bad .htaccess

DougEdey · 11th May 2007, 09:43

Naughty J! I shall pwn you tonight.

Jamie · 11th May 2007, 10:21

kinky!

ch424 · 11th May 2007, 10:27

puerile!

Though yeah, I like the change

will. · 11th May 2007, 10:32

it's almost exactly the same as the old site so I'm not sure why you get that impression?

Careful, RTT is hiding in that corner, the whole changeover made him go mad

BioSniper · 11th May 2007, 10:56

Actually there are a few things that I dislike about this changeover, the primary is the news on the right of the page, the visited link colour appears to be the same as the normal link colour? This way I cant see what I've already read. Oh and also the forums seem to be caching and not refreshing each time I return to their top level (using firefox here).
The brightness of the surrounding boxes/headers on the main page also could do with a slight tweak, imo they are slightly too washed out which isn't easy on the eyes (I frequently have problems reading black on white) and I'm finding it pretty hard to read as it is currently but that's more of a personal thing I guess.
