i like the new site design!

[leQ]

i'm surprised there's not a topic on it, or i couldnt find one.

1. It's taking a bit of getting used to...I feel a bit cramped up at the top

Up at the top where the icons are for latest, greatest, my posts, post etc.

But I'll get used to it.

10. Although overall I like the look I feel the same "cramped" way. It just...

doesn't feel balanced to me. Ah well... I'm sure I'll adapt in time besides it's not my "house" so who am I to ask the DU admins to straighen their "pictures" eh? ;)

12. I'm getting used to it a bit better now :)

It just took some adjusting too. We'll all be okay!

4. me too

now I don't have to for to Discussion forums to access what is now on the top of every page..... navigation is alot easier now.

6. definitely.... this is awesome.

DU is a true asset to the progressive cause and we have very competent captains at its helm.

7. Do these DU folks ever stop werkin'?! But uh, I seem to have

misplaced the "bookmark" icon?

[Skinner]

8. We moved it.

We needed to make space so we could put the same icons on every page.

Now your bookmarks are listed under "Options."

9. Many thanks, Skinner! Why don't you go out back, have a cuppa joe

and chill; ya'll are gonna wear yourselves out!! :)

11. I don't like the DU logo at the top of each page.

I often check in while I'm at work. (Just really fast -- I'm still working really hard.) However, if goes past my cubicle while I'm doing this, I'd rather they not know that I'm here. (I'm a proud DU member, but I'd rather it be anonymous while I'm at work.)

Otherwise, I like things so far!

13. I can understand that, one suggestion

One suggestion that you have probably employed:
When you are done, scroll down to conceal the logo and top bar, then you can minimize, when you maximize again it will stay at that position (hiding the top line)

14. A Couple Things.

1. Is it possible to log in without going to the main page?
Clicking login from any forum or the forum list does nothing.

2. Can the lobby selection be out back into page tracker.

It used to go: Lobby>Latest>Current forum
Now It's: Home>Discus>Current Forum

It used to be, you could click "lobby" and go back to a forum list. "Lobby" has been replaced by "Home" which takes you to the front page.

Everything else is great.

1. The login issue is a glitch. It should be fixed shortly. If it's not working properly tomorrow, let us know.

2. You have two options for going to the Lobby. The simplest option is to simply click the "Lobby" icon, which is at the top of every page. It looks like this:


Lobby

Your other option is to change your preferences so the Lobby becomes your default discussion forum start page. This will allow you to access the Lobby from anywhere by clicking the "Discuss" link. To make the Lobby your default page, Click "Options" then click "Edit your preferences" then look for the words "Show Latest not Lobby as default?" select "no" and click "Update".

16. Yeah I Know.

It's just a force of habit thing. The login issue appears to be fixed.

Thanks,
