Still testing everything out ... so only some "cosmetical" comments.

Likes:

The new logo. I very much like the abstract disc and it´s similarity to apple´s airport logo.

The general "blue-ish" appearance of the new site, the graphic blue header, the system and graduations of colours and so on. Very easy on the eyes and a fresh alternative to the over-abundant black on b´n´o.com, apple.com etc.

Dislikes:

The top orange bar. I understand it´s connection to the system of "stars"...but still it does not work for me. I absolutely hate the contrast blue/orange. May be a case of personal taste, but it seems a little bit cheap to me. I would prefer some kind of silvery-grey...

Some technical issues:

I use safari 2.0.4 on osx 10.4.9 and have difficulties with the fast-reply function. When scrolling up or down while writing the reply, all written data is gone if the reply-window appears at the scrolled-to location (hope you understand what i mean).

I don´t know, if i fully understand the preview function. When pressing the preview tab nothing can be seen. When going back afterwards to compose, the written data is also gone.

That´s all for now. Thanks for this opportunity+

Beoberlin, 

I like the "scale" of your letters in the earlier post.  A larger font size, as noted by another member, makes things easier to read. 

It does not appear that we have the option of selecting font size for our posts unless we "copy and paste" from MS Word?

ahh - the joys and headaches about CHANGES !!!

My first post and hope it works....first of all - looks all smashing Lee. Well done.

Lots to explore and I am just trying to find my way around now.

Like any change - 90% is probably all good, but you tend to focus on the 10% which may be out of sync with what we are used to...

My comment at this stage - sorry if already mentioned here or in other......but the "new posts since my last visit" is something I am missing.....is it there and I just havent found it ?

Someone mentioned "fast".....I find response time very slow (on clicks...!) takes me 10 seconds or so from I click forum (took a part of a second on the old one) - also when I clicked "quick reply" to make this post, took about 30 seconds before I got a possibility to start writing....could this be my settings in some way that are wrong ?? The old forum always impressed me with a superfast response in navigating around the site. Much faster than any I have visited.....

cheers

Using Firefox eliminates almost all usability issues, and an upgrade of Community Server is being launched soon which has apparently addressed all Mac issues.

Community Server is written for Windows/PC - and Macs are a little bit flaky sometimes, especially with Safari which really clunks and splutters on here.

Get over it !!   It does start to wear thin after a while.
