    By the way, there's a "More" button on articles on the right side of Bookmark and Print. Currently it looks like it's doing nothing, should it? And another thing, if I'm seeing correctly, there's no more queue for new blogs and tips in the front page... If that's correct, I think it's a pity since it was nice to scroll through those also. Lots and lots of useful information also in blogs and tips :)

    The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

      Feels cleaner. I have plenty of feedback a brewin', but it seems like an improvement. Though... how many members are online right now? Must know! :((

        Takes a bit of getting used to but not at all bad. Feel there is too much white space and not enough borders to neatly delineate areas of the page (on IE). [Edit] Nope, I really like it: looks clean and professional: CP is all growed up! (still think too much white space)

          It's looking really good (clean and simply). But, it feels strange... how old was the last design? Congratulations, and thank you for giving us this amazing site. Cheers!

            I like it! Good job! The only thing I really don't like though is on the front page. There is a lot of dead-space under the Latest Articles listing. It looks like the Product Showcase shoves the Latest News, Discussions, and Best Picks lower on the page. Makes for a lot of scrolling. Also, the footer looks kinda funny compared to the header now. Maybe if it went all the way across the page as well? The next big thing I'd love to see are more ajax updating on pages. It would be awesome if I could just leave the lounge open, and see conversations come in as they are posted rather than refreshing the page. Keep up the great work!

                Well, I find it a bit messy (expecially in the Q&A). However I'm quickly getting used to it. Anyway, congratulations, I believe it was big task.

                        The new look is fantastic... well done chaps! However, like the 'Metro' theme (said under bated breath) it is very hard to differentiate between different segments. Dare I suggest that you put a nice little line under the 'Featured Article' section of the 'Home' page to indicate that, that's it, otherwise you may call the heading 'Featured Articles'! as it looks at the moment like it's a list of 'Featured Articles' and not a 'Featured Article' and then 'Updated or New' submissions? It may also be good to have a 'Star' chart next the the Article heading indicating it's current popularity? Other than that, this is a welcome change! Kind regards, Gary

                            Nice! Some of the grays are a bit subtle... but overall I give it high grades.

                                Ok, I'll supply reasoning. It may look good on a phone, which I never visit CP from so I don't know. But threads take up waaay too much real estate on the screen than they used to. Is there any way to fix that? The text and area taken up by each response looks like it was made for someone with a visual disability. I'm using chrome, btw.

                                I agree with you on this. Each post/response/row is quite high. Soren Madsen

                                          I think I like it. As many have mentioned, each post takes up quite a bit of real estate, which is helpful on a phone/pad. I might get used to that. It is a bit surprising that the "Forum Menu" on the left is so small compared to the threads and that it only allows a single forum category to be expanded at any time. This almost seems to counter the "touch friendliness". I for one approve of the toned down color scheme, although some things could benefit from being with a slightly bolder (darker) text. In any case, I think it is a nice change. Soren Madsen
