Are ya seeing it? It's not really done yet.

If you're not seeing it, or if you are and you hate it, you can change back from the bottom of the front page.

Feedback welcome.

Looks great. My only complaint is that the new Cellar banner (which looks awesome btw) is a little too wide to appear on my 17" monitor without a horizontal scroll bar being needed. The "r" in "Cellar" is cut off. If it was just slightly narrower, it would fit on the screen. Or is there some setting in Firefox I'm supposed to check so it will always load banners to fit my screen without my active involvement each time?

Yeah you are supposed to buy a larger monitor - UT gets a percentage each time. :right:

You 800 pixel wide people crack me up. How do you get anything done?

I'll fix the logo so it's 760 wide, but you people!

I like the maroon! People at work won't recognize I'm at the Cellar instead of doing real work for awhile ;)

I don't like the post font, but will get over it. Seems smaller. Is it or am I a freak?

tells you how many posts have been deleted in that thread, the paperclip tells how many attachments there are.

The post font has changed, and this new one is not set in stone. Good typography is critical to us and I haven't done the requisite research to figure out what our best bet is. I wanted to experiment a little to see what works.

I thought I was cutting edge when I moved up from 640x480!

I actually thought the opposite. Perhaps it's because the "old" colours are blue & white, same as the NHS so I think it can be passed off as a work website more easily.

I'll take the plunge with the new one while there's hardly anyone around until the paranoia wears off.

I love the new look. Thanks.

I'm still wondering how to use multi-ball, I mean quote, though.

We're back to 10 point Verdana/Geneva for most fonts. Please let me know what you think.

The color of the quick reply and editor is pending; it still has a light blue cast instead of the olive that matches the burgundy/orange scheme.

lumberjim 01-04-2007 10:22 AM

FWIW: the burgundy makes it more obvious that I'm playing. Is there a quick way of doing a monochrome scheme? i noticed that there was a download/search for templates thing in the admin panel. It looks like a lot of work to create, and this is asthetically pleasing, ( maybe a splash of hunter green here and there for accents?) but if it's a quick thing, a stealth version would be grrrrreeeeeaaaaat. so,yeah, thanks, i'm gonna need you to go ahead and handle that for me, k?
