New homepage/navigation bar design is up and running

We'll see if that non-serif stays. I have to get the size issue fixed first.

My reply/composition box font being are very tiny.

 

I use Firefox 3.0, and Firefox 2.0

At this point I just have to laugh....

 

I could give directions to Atlantis and some people still wouldn't bother to read my posts.

I love the new look and wanted to thank you for posting the newsletter with all the old

screenshots. You know what is funny is that I'm an old timer on the web and I actually

loved that old MIT-style text only page that Phillip first made and many of us who built

web pages in the early 90s also adopted. What you have done is implement new

interfaces without flashy graphics, so you still retain the old school principles but are

adapting to the new web. So, bravo and thanks to you and all those who work with you

to make this site so wonderful.

 

If I have one criticism, I would say that on the main page where you have animated

GIFs for ads, these are too assaulting to the eye. Further, you seem to have duplicate

ads in two separate locations on the front page.

Okay - no nitpicks from me. I think it looks 10000000% better! (I have a degree in Mathematics!) :-D Thanks SO MUCH, Josh and all of the css-gurus.

 

By the way, Matt - you can't possibly feel 5 years younger because you're only two photo.net-years old. :-)

But, Lou Ann, if you look at my portfolio, you'll see that I experience photo.net in dog years, which means I'm actually 14. See?

 

Josh, it's looking much better now. Things are settling down. Did I mention the small editing text? Kidding! Have a beer, you deserve one.

So you are all saying that I should make the text smaller in the textbox? I'm confused, but okay. Smaller it is...

<small><i>exactly</i></small>

"I think it looks 10000000% better! (I have a degree in Mathematics!)"

 

?. Whatever math has to do with it, and a mathematician that thinks we can go beyond 100%, i agree(and i don't have a degree)

 

"I'm confused, but okay. Smaller it is..."

 

Please don't. I can't tell if i've mispelled anyfing.

It's just a little tired humor, Garrison! Not to worry. I'm sure Josh's crew will have it all back to human-visible font size <big><big>RSN</big></big> (Real Soon Now).

Excellent : PN now really looks XXIst century instead of XXth !

 

And I don't know if the text size has been fixed or not, but personaly, I like it much better that way with smaller fonts.

 

Great job !

Josh: Overall, the new design works well. My one issue is the "details" page on posted images. I would lose the three random file images chosen for display and thus eliminate all that white space the viewer encounters before being able to get a look at an image's info. Cheers...Bill

I am currently looking at 3 moving ads on the home page, one in each of the conspicuous

available spaces, as well as the usual bottom banner. Naturally these are still my #1

complaint. Change is good. I dislike the new format forcing me to scroll to see each entire

page.

Josh, after all the complaints, you deserve a compliment on the new look and inovations. I understand why you laugh about the size of text, reading it 10,000 times( I'm not a mathmatician.... but I know to count....;-)) Nice work, thanks to all of you, hope for the rest .

Pnina-you are 100% right! We are a lot quicker to complain than to compliment. Nice job

guys-nice job. Thanks! cb :-)

Other than the already mentioned drop down menus not working correctly in Firefox, and the huge disparity in text sizes between the menus, header at the top, and message size, it looks ok.

Erie? I've just visited with Firefox. Drop-down menus work fine, and all of the system/nav link text is the same size, with the actual content that we're all reading being in one other different font (which is nice, so that your brain can easily distinguish the messages from the surrounding nav features). The only problem I've got is with the text entry box, and we know that's under way.<div></div>

This may seem a little unusual but I like to browse the forums using my Blackberry. In the past that worked very well. However, something has happened since the upgrade that just makes the hourglass spin and spin whenever I try to access the site. I have to turn the thing off to use it for anything.

 

Any idea what it could be and whether it could be reversed?

 

Cheers!

Since the new page went up my access time has dropped to zero.

I have broadband and it is taking way to long for pages to come up.

Many times when I click on a message, it just goes to the site map instead.

I use Windows Explorer and Vista.

James and Philip,

 

Probably unrelated to the dew design. As everyone knows, we have been having horrible server problems. And now with the preparations for the switch to new servers (database downloads, etc) things have gotten that much worse. But fear not, improvement will come soon.

Are you sure it isn't the new paint job? Doesn't wet paint make the wind stick to it and slow down the car?

Via Photo Critique Forum I just visited the portfolio of Ken Schwartz, a member since

1999. I had to take a few calls & when I returned to post a comment the Forum was

all new & a site search for Ken Schwartz brought up his page but no portfolio. I tried

clicking on his one link in a photo forum with the same result. Can you help? Thanks.
