    Until a couple of weeks ago all colors were muddy and matte but after today both eyes have had Cataract surgery and the colors are so vivid and the whites so white, it's given me a whole new outlook on life.

      It's OK for Portrait mode, but it looks odd in landscape to me - too much white space on the left and right. Since I mostly run CP on my Portrait monitor, it's not a problem, but I'm unusual in having the choice, I think. What do you guys think?

      Okay, I know I'm getting old, but God meant menus to be on the left! If not, He would have inspired Chris, David, Uwe, et al, to create the original with a right side menu panel. It just ain't right! At the very least, make the silly thing follow me down that page as I scroll so I don't have to scroll all the way up to find it.

        I think, put it back to how it was. It was fine previously and menus on the right are just a little eccentric - I can't think of any other UI where the menu is on the right. I won't get started on my stop changing things for the sake of change rant... oh there I go... :laugh:

          The menu went from left to right, but that's it. Don't really like it as I now have to look all the way to the left edge of my screen. Maybe 10px margin between the screen's edge and text (I checked and it's 9px) :~ Besides, by far most menu's I've seen were on the left, that's just where I'd expect it.

              The RHS was 160px, it's now 300px. The LHS was 170px. It's now 0. There's about 20px os extra space added between the forums and the RHS. That means the net change is about 10px wider forums that had a RH bar (eg Bugs and Suggs) and a 150px reduction in width for forums that didn't have a RH bar (eg the Lounge). We can tweak.

              cheers Chris Maunder

              Why have you moved the forum list to the right Chris ?

                Hmm, you mentioning the space on the left made me notice it. Zooming in fixes it for me (and makes the text easier to read.)

                  At first I had no idea what you talked about Griff. Until I realised that I only visit The Lounge. On the main page poor Bob is severely severed. : (

                      And the (expandable) "tree view" (TOC) is usually on the left. (It's now tucked in between ads, while the left is "empty")

                        Have to admit it, but I actually hadn't noticed.
