Wayne, this isnīt a bug, nor a feature request. Itīs more like a cosmetic idea, and i understand that thereīs alot going on in the transition of the site, but it doesnīt hurt to register this, for future reference and maybe implementation.

Iīm using a 22" LCD monitor here, at 1600x1050 resolution. But for me, the front page looks like itīs 800x600.

The most "annoying" thing to me is the size of the frames in the recent threads section. They seem too big, and the words only take like 1/3 of the space. Could these frames be reduced a little?

Also, the news items in the front page look a little messed. Maybe the font is too small, and there are no icons yet.

Again, i know this is not the final layout, and the news section sure is in the line to be improved, but as i donīt know if the last thread section is planned to be changed, i decided to left this suggestion.

As a final note, the site is really cool with the new look! Thanks a lot!

Regards.

Page display is purely subjective to the browser and the machine being used to view it. What works for some may look weird to you. I'm on a 1900 x 1200 display and see nothing wrong with it.

The most "annoying" thing to me is the size of the frames in the recent threads section.

Were you on a smaller monitor / resolution, you would think much, much differently. Resize your browser to see what I mean.

BTW, the site doesn't use frames.

The news section hasn't even begun to be worked on yet, but I do appreciate your support.

By frames i meant the "section" of the frontpage where the last posts on the forum are placed. I didnīt mean the web technology (or whatever) known by frames.

This is the problem writting in a language you donīt dominate :-/

I did what you suggested, and resized the browser window. The problem i see (i say problem because i donīt like it, not because i really think itīs a problem, you know...) itīs still there. In fact, i think itīs much worse with a smaller window.

I find the spaces, where each thread from the forums appears, too tall. Thereīs too much space above and below the text itself. So the news items are presented lower in the page. I have to roll the page to see them.

You see, i donīt want to be intransigent. Thereīs nothing wrong with rolling the page to see the contents below. I just think itīs prettier the way iīm trying to explain to you.

Anyway, even if the site remains with the current layout iīm really happy. And iīm happy to know you didnīt even started to work on the news section. That was what i thought.

Thanks again for all your hard work, and for taking some time to reply my message.

Regards.
