I agree, but people are posting from work or other places where they don't have a choice of browser.

Saw an article a while back I think where a scary proportion of those were stuck on IE6.:eek:

Very true, perhaps so-called system admins can take note :cool:

Hi folks we'll take a look at the IE6 issue (its about 7% of our users are on it)

As for white space above or below - what white space?

Actually that percentage is quite encouraging - I was expecting a lot more. Wise bunch us MSErs

Looks nice, but the user interface seems a bit inconsistent. The first two links open a pop-up (or a lightbox, whatever you want to call it), the third opens up a page in a new window, and the fourth opens a new page in the same window. Not sure why they need to be different.

They're different due to the content

The first two are quick guides

The rules are very detailed and contain everything - so can't be contained in a lightbox - yet as they take you off the forum they're in a new window

The user tool are part of the forum so you stay in the same window

I can only think these spaces?



Unless people are seeing something that I'm not?

Not exactly a lot if that is it. But with a small display every little bit counts.

Sorry Martin.. just dont like it. The site already has a load of boxes and it just looks cluttered. plus for abotu 5 mins I thought I had been logged out in some glitch..

We think we know what this issue is now - give us 5 mins and it should be fixed just a couple of gremlins in the cogs!

All 4 are working :j

It's easier to see the forum rules, etiquette and so on. Good move. Though I do see what is meant by wasted space, each side of the boxes.

Narrower in height but wider boxes to fill the spaces may be better, but still in a strong enough colour to make them stand out maybe?

You still have the same shirt on though, can't you wear something with a bit more pizzazz Martin?
