A few notes about the redesign
-
I like the new layout, but there are a few little things which are missing, broken or which seem as though they could be improved.
- There's a search box directly below the logo; it'd be nice if it could be able to search multiple categories, not just one. It'd also be nice if it could search for members.
- The source code browser seems to get messed up by a folder hierarchy inside the ZIP files. It doesn't show the contents of any of the source for my second article
- It'd also be nice to have syntax highlighting and plaintext viewing for .S, .LST and .LD files
- I've got frames which say 'This document had no style information' in place of a lot of the adverts. Ctrl+F5 doesn't change this
- The user header (name, settings, groups, watched, etc) is in the default font, which doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the site. Perhaps it could be moved into another entry on the green strip, titled with the username?
- The Topics section on the left duplicates the Chapters and Sections part of the Articles dropdown entry. Could it be removed from the left?
- On the main page, the Announcements section is on the left; on the article viewing page, it's on the right. This is a little inconsistent (that's probably just me being picky though)

1. On the cards 2. I've seen a few problems with zip cracking. I think we might need to use a different zip component 3 Send me a list of file tytpes and syntax colourising rules you want. 4. Can you please do a View Source and save the contents to a file and send it to me please? This sounds like a third party ad that's gone wrong. 5. Default meaning Times New Roman or something? Have you ctrl+f5'd? 6. Slowly but surely the article page changes will flow through 7. GOTO 6. Thanks for the comments!

3. .LD and .LST files could just be treated as plain text (no need for syntax highlighting). .S and .ASM files are assembly language, and have the same syntax highlighting rules as a PRE block with the
langattribute set to 'asm'. 4. I've got two pages ready to send. For some reason, the problem doesn't seem to crop up at all with Internet Explorer. I use Opera, Windows 7, 64-bit. 5. Yes, I've cleared my cache and reloaded the page. 6. & 7. Excellent. Thank you.OSDev :)
