If you don't mind me saying, I think you've missed a trick with your revised menu. reDesign had the most dynamic looking menu yet. The new one has lost 1 element that helped make it stand out, IMHO. The grey bar down the left side of the drop downs, which was partly changed by the mouse highlight, creating an attractive cross-pattern. Maybe add that back into reDesign3 using that dark red colour used in the side sub-menus? Might help to "tie" that dark red colour in to the overall design.

Also the horizontal and vertical scrollbars which pop up on Help sub-menu in top page of Forums needs to get squashed, as I'm sure it will.

Other than that, the top page in Forums is still too larger of a text size for my liking, but that's a personal choice, and easy to change. The "film-strip" replacement in Coppermine is great, the grey frames with black TV-like side or top bars in the level above is not so sharp. [I usually drop the grey borders and change the black bars to grey, and add the coloured borders from the film-strip replacement in reDesign2, so can easily do same in 3! ]

Not sure if this is your design, or a DF quirk, but can the alterbnating block background colurs in Forums also appear in the refer-back part of Post (Forums/posting.html)?

Again, excellent work. Waiting ...

I genuinely thank you for the feedback. Here's my short response.

When I went into Community Forums in rD3 I got scrollbars around the upper right block! The (sub-)menu block. That was with my normal window size of around 1000px wide.

BTW, your new handling of Quotes is much, much improved. Best I've seen in fact! (rD2 used rather too much space, and the display was a little hard to understand when there were quotes within quotes.)

Minor suggestion: On Forum post screen move Options/HTML/BBC/Smiles to right side so that Times/Jump can move up a bit. (Or move into the grey empty space to lower right of Add Attachment panel?.) And the word "Options" is probably not needed, when there is no way to change them anyway

And if you attempt a Reply to this thread, you will see both vertical and horizontal scrollbars on the Topic Review area - but only the vertical one is really needed in this case.

If I can help making that happen sooner, please don't hesitate. Testing, reviewing, whatever.

I still can't reproduce the scrollbar problems. I tested Opera 10, Google Chrome 3 and Firefox 3.5.4. You use ...?


Also, I try to organize the bugs a bit. This is the place:
000.pri.ee/ProjectsPro..._id=1.html

Anyone can add stuff and anyone could fix stuff and tell how. If needed a forum post for more bug discussion can be made.
But it's mostly behind me.

I've upgraded reDesign3_Preview on the site. Hit F5 button if something looks weird.

I planned it for 10. January, but have been sick etc and January is full of exams... so let's say February.

However, from feedback I've got, it seems current reDesign 3 is solid, so you could just download it from cvs.
