This new layout sucks

[Kizzie]

All working fine for me now, on IE7. Speed is good, clunkiness gone and finally lost all those Javeascript errors.

The icons from the profiles are overflowing into the posts.

While it's possible you're right, I think that's more likely to be a problem at your end with your browser's caching, cos it's been addressed.

Try forcing a full refresh by doing ctrl-F5, and then let me know if it's then gone or not.

'OK Fred' though....totally wrong and you know it

[dakyras]

It would look less terrible if full-screen - the skin (including the amended one coming soon) is designed to be used with enough space for it.

Anyway, the amended skin is just about ready, and will be installed in the next few hours. This is get rid of many of the skin related issues, including at least some of what you're suffering from.

Katie with her 44FF's are now sitting to the left between posts on this page. not complaining but I thought you'd like to know.

good to here.

Still getting popups on every single page.

This layout has really grown on me.

[MrZigster]

This is all good now.

[Greeny_Musicchild]

I keep getting a "page unavailable" message where (I assume) an ad should be....

[Sabcully]

How do I search the forum now? Can't find the field anymore.

Only just come back from holiday and still getting over the shock.

Adverts are highly annoying and do they really need to be on every single page?

Can really answer that myself.

[Greeny_Musicchild]

Search is in the top right, seems to be one function for the entire site, it gives you options to search everything or just the forums.

You can't please everyone. I quite like the layout in general, the adverts between the posts are a bit annoying, especially when it comes up with 'file not found'. But none the less I can see why they are needed, after all servers have to get paid for somehow.

Good work.

the way the topics move away from your mouse when you hover over it is annoying

the advert between posts is annoying

the three pinned threads not being separated from the normal discussion threads is annoying

thas massive gap on the right hand of the screen once you've scrolled down is annoying

what is it people LIKE about this?

[eFestivals]

that's down to your own cursor positioning. If you have the cursor in a different place it doesn't happen.

massive? 120 pixels is not massive.

the advert between posts is annoying

less annoying than no forums at all.

That is the ONLY alternative.

no, its not

i'm on Chrome, and if i have efests as a small browser, when i put my cursor over the last thread page number it will expand and the numbers change position

how can i change the fact it expands?!

*and when you have the browser small (IE only half of the screen) and you have the advert space on the right with the silly amount of user profile space on the left, everything is ridiculously squished in the middle

which is annoying

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm happy enough. On the one hand the skin looks better now. On the other not being able to really use the forums in a smaller window is an irritation.

But all of that pales into insignificance next to the fact that a site owned by Neil is now hosting pro-England advertising. And I just clicked on it, which I presume means that Neil is profiting from England's success at the World Cup.

And before the inevitable "success" jibe comes, England have drawn with two far better teams than New Zealand.

You've clearly identified the answer, but prefer to annoy yourself by how you're choosing to use your browser. There is no perfect answer if a user chooses to f**k things up for themselves. That's outside of my control.

There is no perfect layout to suit all users. The layout that exists is designed to be usable by the greatest number.

[Langdale Wolf]

The icons overlapping the posts is fixed. I'm used to the ad in the middle of the page, the formatting is miles better, the options give you more choice - I'm pleased. The forums have been improved.

Good job, Neil.
