The new boards look nice, bar the fact that the main section of it could be bigger. Feels like too much unused space, and many of the messages posted seem to be somewhat cramped.

Now to find myself an avatar...

I believe Tuomo was call this useability, as the width looks suspiciously as though it's set to 800pixels wide. Fel wil have to look into it

Okay, I spent a bunch of time mucking around with it. It turns out that it was 750 pixels wide. I raised it by 25% (which you may have noticed by now

). This meanse that the two images at the top there (Solaris and the little commandbar) don't quite line up properly.

The first one will be addressed shortly (as FA Polanski will but something ISD-like in its place), and the second one can be addressed as well, just as long as it's by somebody with better photoshop / GIMP skills than me.

Umm, I seem to be logged in constantly, on different computers, and I can't logout.

Never mind. I got it to work now that I'm back home.

Good to hear. When I read the problem I wasn't really sure what the issue was (except maybe cookie settings gone bad somewhere), but it's good to know it's now working again.

Yeah, something happened when I logged in, so I was registered as Logged In, but the Login fields at the bottom of the screen were still there, so when I went to switch to my clone, I was was still logged in, even though I wasn't. (I also had 3-4 windows open at the time, and I think I did have 2 MBs at the same time). Oh well, doesn't mater anymore I guess.

Only trouble is, now I have a big scrollbar at the bottom of the screen... some people are just impossible to please.

Well, if I'd really had it my way, it would be scalable to whatever resolution it is that you're using. Unfortunately I'd have to rewrite the skin for that, and we'd lose all the graphics etc. at the top. I take it you're using 800x600?

I wonder if there's something wrong with me because I like 800x600...

I just had the same probelm as Mithel. Logged in, and after the refresh it said I was logged in at the bottom, but the button in the upper right said "Login" and the fields were at the bottom. I never had this problem on the GE MBs, or IS.net.

Oh no, nothing wrong with you, sir; I use 800x600, as well.

Same problem like Jag Fel, but I have had it a year ago at the other MBs.

Nice board.
hehe Solaris, now that's a good film (the Soviet one offcorse) by Andrei Tarkowski

IÂ´ve bypassed the problem by enabling auto-login now.
