Yup, it's sorted now, for some odd reason it even had links to Sectorgames 'Eve' section in it :wtf:


Edit : Ahhhh..  I see what happened, it was trying to display all the drop-downs at once I think :)

I changed board layout a bit, I'd like your input if this is better or worse compared to the old layout. All this change does it to make better use of child boards (also known as sub-boards). If this change sucks, I'll change it back to the old way.

I liked Hard light art as it's own board...

EDIT: and shouldn't missions and campaings go with all the other FRED boards?

The old way was better. I don't wan't to dig trought numerous menus/windows/boards to get what I wan't. Windows makes me do that. And I think FREDing and modding are very different kinds of things, so I don't understand why to mix them...

My suggestion is to make the logo always look like when it's mouseover'd and make it slightly smaller, thereby reducing the size of the too-large header box thingy.

Overall I like it. Nothing too drastic, but why mess with a good thing.

The Logo looks ub3r sweet when the mouse is over it, but I hadn't realized that until Rictor pointed it out. Make it like that all the time!

The menus up top don't work out with Opera 9 very well. They appear with parts of the entries missing, go behind the ads, and don't go away when I take my mouse away from it. (All seen in the pic below). Also I can't get the Gamewarden or Sectorgame menus to open up.

I like the new color; it's easier on the eyes.  But I don't like the new design layout.  (I know what the poll says, I hit the wrong button...Curse my sleepwalking posts...)  The top bar just seems a little fussy and redundant.  I have always found it easy to get where I want to go just using the existing links.  It was also easy just to troll the forums looking for interesting stuff. 

The new logo layout also bugs me.  I'm super-organized and I like to have everything work efficiently.  I run at 1152 x 864 res, and the logo and it's accompanying background just seem too big.  It's a little "in your face" is the only way I can describe it.  Maybe you could shrink it down or make an option to collapse it?  (Like the little +/- sign next to the date and time for the section below "Hello <name>".)

Can I sugget the dropdown menus also have some hover-over tips telling people what they are.

Eh, looks like I am in the minority of dislike.

I always link peple directly to the forums anyway...

Speaking of which... Is it just me or did the voice acting forum disappear? (ready to reach for dust covered frozen trout!)
