TCW Site Phase III

New TCW front page redesign - the dark boxes are banner ads. The interior pages will have new looks as well. I am thinking the right column will drop off.

THOUGHTS??????

I like it, Looks great!

Hoping to have this plus a bunch of new features and bug fixes done by monday.

I hope our "edit post" option will come back!

thoughts on the new design?

I like the keyword search feature.
The general industry and conveyor discussions are becoming slow to load. I guess because of the length.
I like the edit button also.
I would like to look through member profiles and pics.

Allan, nice improvements. I agree with Jimmy. Bringing up topics is to slow. Any way to speed up.

Stuart

Yeah they do load slow, we are hoping to get to these issues soon. This design took about 100 hours to design, code and integrate into the site.

Keep the feedback coming

Anyone notice the improvements?

Don't change the homepage. It's very interesting now.

I like the new layout - one minor issue is that when a subject line is long and wraps to second line it over writes the next subject below.

examples:
"Baton Rouge Business Person of the Year"
"Car crashes through car wash into house"
"Ninja tire/wheel brush or poodle brush")

yikes, I will boot up Windows IE and see, I am guessing since you are on vista you're running IE7?

Also which page is this happening? the front page?

Homepage - IE7 24" monitor 1600 x 1200

XP-IE6 is fine on my other computer, but have the same overwriting problem with firefox on this box.

Also just noticed it does the same thing in other places such as "My User Account" in the upper right area wraps and does not fit in the box.

In firefox "Report Bug' does not center in the box.

Hope this helps.

I like the changes you made Allan! Also can't wait for the member map feature! That will be fun!
