Funny, you picked a Microsoft patch day to do this, not like we already had enough changes to deal with...

An aesthetic comment - you may want to update the forum banner image to match color-wise.

An aesthetic comment - you may want to update the forum banner image to match color-wise. True. The colors do not match at all. Apart from this I like the updated site - especially the accessibility improvements. I had no issues with both Firefox 3.5.3 and Safari 4.0.3 - but the colors ... |

Frankly, considering screen real estate, I would not mind if the forum banner http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/mvnp...ges/4-0_title_forums1.jpg was lost completely. Presently on each page refresh less than half the page is actually threads or posts. Then integrate the <i>Forum</i> word into the main banner or some other highlight to emphasize one is on the forum.
----------------------------------------Also I see Welcome Back Sekerob way top... and Welcome Sekerob below the Forums banner... too much :D (this really is OT... move over to the S&F section. ;>) On Topic, finally went to open IE8 and visit the site. Looks absolutely equal to the FFX 3.5.3 rendered version... bit slower ;P Really like the rotation of the presented science on revisit of the front page. Whilst focused on attracting new members as the announcement explains, I do miss the member highlights / the section to push special events / science milestones, but guess we'll get over that :D

We have removed the forum banner. That was a good suggestion. We are going to leave the dual welcomes at this moment. The top one represents that you are signed into the website and the bottom represents that you are signed into the forums. Although that should be seemless to you it is a useful debugging tool for us when we get reports of problems (the forums and the website are two different applications that use a single sign solution so that you only login once).
The 'tell-a-friend' and 'video' spots on the home page will be changed in the not too distant future to spots where we can announce things similar to the 'whats new' from the old design. Further out in the future the extra space in the sky in the clouds (part of the top banner on the website) will be used to announce facts and other interesting tidbits. |

Roger Kevin, that was teleconnection of your thoughts into the ones
----------------------------------------I had v.v. what might be coming in the near future and how the front page is already overlaying the science graphics on the cloud background and thanks for outing the forum banner. Color scheme fixed with that too :O) One other thought I had was the left margin menu's and the drop out menus from the top bar. Was the plan to have them coexist maybe because the none modern browsers as nelsoc noted can't do all the new stuff?

On the homepage the foldout menu for Research is so long it opens up to the top and over the menu bar

edit: indeed here too signout button is the old one on the front page. edit2: The bar coming through the menu is an IE(8) thing maybe? See it in there but not on FFX3.5.3
