first off, I really like the new layout. my only gripe (and i made sure this was a gripe after reading keeb's post) is that the color the "closed" icon really doesn't match with anything. it stands out by being red, yes, but i just think its a bit too bright. a duller color might match in better with the color scheme
I have been thinking about the banner... I like the structure etc but I think it does not go with the rest of the forum... perhaps the same thing but lighter? Just a thought...
Have you just upgraded to Service Pack 2 for WinXP?
IE, I've not put sp2 in yet. I'm waiting till everybody stops having problems with it. Like I say, I can't attach anything. I click manage attachments and nothing happens, no progress bar, nothing. I could always attach before. And I have rebooted.
One suggestion, one that's always, always bothered me, and one that's more pronounced now. Thrax's big ol' s-m byte, the one about socket a or something, needs to be resized. It's farkin' huge. And now, being where it is, it distorts that entire top section...:-/

I originally really liked the banned but I see now that the moon shaped 'Cs" beside Short-Media really stick out like a sore thumb and could surely use a colour change. The orange and the smokey grey/blue dont really mesh with the colour scheme at all.
Maybe a nice torquios or greeny blue to match the forum style?
I think that some of the sigs (such as mine) look different than they were intended to with the Reply buttons so close. Maybe if they were seperated from the rest of the post with something like the line that at the top that sepearates the post title from the post, something like the HR tag in my sig, but without the gap that the HR tag adds.
...now that I'm on the subject, is it also possible to maybe remove the short line that seperates the sig from the post body? Maybe have a user option to do so?
//edit: One last thing: I'm wondering if you're going to have a board skin that's essentially the same as this one, but allows the user avatar and name info to be above the post again?
Something else I noticed. When I move the mouse over the threads a box pops up informing me of the contents of the threads first post. I think I had a whinge about this last upgrade and it was changed to only popping up if you held the mouse over the threads title. Any chance it can be done again?
My toshiba Satellite S507 with display Nvidia FX Go5200 has just been upgraded not with the original toshiba, but the generousity of IBM and Nvidia for the same FX go5200, you just down load it from IBM site for the display driver 10 Oct 2004 for ThinkPad G41.

Just tried IE 6 on SP1.. no problems..
Eg.. Mozilla FireFox..
Id like to isolate this if possible
As no one else has reported an attachments issue.. Im hoping this is just a random spot of bad bothered luck..
Ok.. Im going to create a thread.. asking people to test the attachments system.. and see if anyone else has a problem
Give me a couple of days
