I wonder why my bottom scroll bar always has a small amount of horizontal space left, no matter how wide I make the page. Even at 1680 pixels wide.

I still think the areas on the left with the stupid evil comments and such should be on the right.  The only reason I have for this is that the tabs of the website feel really ackward since the content is spaced to the right.

Also I think it would be easier for users to have the comments link for individual posts on the left rather than the right.  But I can’t speak for everyone.

Other than that this template ROCKS!!!  A much needed improvement.

Looks nice.  Some of the text size stuff needs to be tweaked—but pretty good stuff.

Yup, site looks great! Hope your enjoying your involuntary vaction time with your family, enjoy it. WoW2 will be out soon so you’ll have very little down time left. Let me know if you wanna knock over a starbucks for some extra spending cash!

Everything is squished up the right, obviously. Apart from that, I like it a lot.

oooo.  Blue

Oh NO.

Blog Roll.

More time lost browsing…

Give me just a second here...hold on...wait for it...YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!! It’s beautiful!

...but I can’t log in.

The login link is to Register (as confirmed by hovering over the tab and looking at the info pane)

Oops! My bad. It’s fixed now. You should be able to login.

Cheers Les- think of it as a beta test.

Hmm. Bit Squished in 600x800, but 1024 seems fine.

Loads a lot faster than the old one.

Like the 2 column format on the left.

Welcome to the pontless signature bit- I’m glad you let me put my normal quote in. If anyone can tell me who said it (I think a prussian general of horse, but I can’t find my source)

I’ll take it. Do you do finance, or do I have to pay up front?

Wow! Nice and modern, looks much more interesting than before, still getting used to it, nice to see everyone’s pics too!

nice stuff.

Back in black. 

Is there a way to not have to see signatures though?

Looks good Les!!

Consi, to remove signatures out, go to your member control panel, click on “Edit Preferences” and remove the check mark from “Display member signatures in entries”.

Thanks, Les. It’s like seeing an old and valued friend.

Looks great! My only gripe is the columns and picture on the left are a tad big.

Downsizing/cropping the picture and/or moving the “Stupid Evil Comments” column would look even better.

Mrs Spocko says that the background in your pic looks like a shower curtain!

I believe Mrs. Spocko is right and Les said as much in the dim past.

Upon seeing the design for real, I myself am not too fond about the wide sidebar(s) to the left. The background colors of the sidebars not extending all the way to the bottom doesn’t look quite right, either.

My vote goes to one sidebar to the left that matches the width of the old one (or two stacked on top of each other) or moving the sidebars to the right. In either case, I’d almost prefer a fixed width for the content.

Just in case your curious Les, this is what it looks like in Safari on OS X. I stretched it out across my monitor at 1680x1050.
I’ll spare you all the embedded image and give you a link.

Apparently, I don’t know how to spell “you’re.”

Oh, and it looks the same in Firefox in OS X except the tabs are closer to the blue line. They look like they’re about 1 pixel apart. and there’s no horizontal issue like in Safari.

The background in the pic is, as Elwed noted, a shower curtain. The old one we used to have in my apartment in fact.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I’ll move to a single sidebar on the left and see how that works out. As soon as I get the chance, that is, the wife and I just got back from CostCo and stuff needs to be put away.

Les, I don’t know how much you tweaked the basic layout, but the side benefit of doing what you did is that you should be able to change the layout by the simple expedient of swapping in another CSS file.

Now I think of this booming voice saying “Pay attention to the man in front of the shower curtain!”

It’s a groovy shower curtain, I must say. Ours is just a dull vanilla color.

I like the new layout.
