I prefer the old way of doing things and had only just got used the previous format.

I actually prefer the old design/layout neutral Espec on the forums where it there doesn't seem to be any clear deliniation between posts (and I preferred having a few more news stories on the front page too)

But in general, nice work catch! Upgrading can be a fucking mission, and it all seems to have gone relatively smoothly (on this side at least).

Love the improved usability/searchability in history and library especially.

we could possibly bring back alternate shading in the theme, catch?

i think it's provisional at the moment, while we work out a new way to do it without the module we used before.

Yep, not got to it yet, but that's the plan.

Cool, sounds good.

Also noticed when you double quoted catch (my quote inside JK's quote) that because there is no outer border around the quotes, the bottom line of JK's quote (finishes with "module we used before.") is same colour and has no separation from your "Same here too."

That was actually a typo by me neutral

On the plus side, that means broken quotes don't have quite the same serious effect that they used to on the layout, which I hadn't even tested yet smile

Catch

Got a very pleasant surprise when I checked out the site: it looks very very nice and is very easy on the eye. What have you done to make things so much easier to read, the fonts are spot on.

Dunno if I've just missed this and it's changing ( embarrassed ) but I really like the lack of drop-down menus on the top bar. It definitely makes the site feel "cleaner" to me. Dunno if it's less functional, but to me it feels a lot better.

jack, look on internal, i've made some suggestions as to how drop-downs could be structured
