Travis,
I get picture 1 because I choose low res mode, but I see picture 2 if I change to the recommended resolution. The problem for me is, that makes everything smaller -- I know there's seemingly more turf, but it's not nearly as enjoyable experience for me -- and this IS a leisure activity! :-) I have good computer glasses and spend a lot of time online -- I know you're right about current design standards, I'm just saying . . . esp on a laptop, low res (larger) is better for tons of text - -and scanning a gazillion forums is all about tons of text. Of course, I could try to increase the text size in the browser, but 1) you'd have to let me by not overriding user options and 2) it totally screws with the rest of the page layout, as you know.

I think it's really smart to take a show of hands re: screen resolution. I'm wondering how many people have also noticed a slow down in refresh rate, etc since the new design -- I have very high speed Internet service and I've noticed much slower load times lately.

My last comment is re: user login. Am I missing the convenient front page login because I'm using lower res or is it gone with the wind and all logins have to go to a second page to enter name & password? I miss that old shortcut.

Love the calendar and poll area.

Hi travis!!! I actually have an INBETWEEN VIEW!! LOL !!! I'm working with a 1024 x 768 pixel resol. And this is the way I see the site on my pc. I cant even scroll to the sides, and until I saw your pic, I hadn't noticed the Bulb on the left or that we could actually see David's body!! sad.gif unsure.gif


That picture is exactly how I see the site as well, whether at work or at home (bigger monitor at work, but access to settings is restricted there). I love the wide view site, though. A lot of thought went into this redesign, and it shows. Looks great when you screencap it like it should be.

Hi Travis,

View #2 for me! But I've just got to say you are so the web nerd! I just watched the interview and I about died on the floor laughing because the guy says he just looked at David's website and then your site pops up on the screen! ohmy.gif laugh.gif Not DCO! Funny because when you watched it your first thought was that's what my site looks like...Oh that's the best I've seen all day!

I have a widescreen laptop set at 1280 x 800 and get #2. I love the light bulb!! My desktop has a regular 17" LCD monitor set at 1024 x 768 and that gets the picture CRNat has above with half a light bulb and David's neck.

BTW, I love the new look!

It's on the front page as well in the middle of all the mess right above the images. It'll say Log in or Register.

My original resolution was 1024x768, so I was getting the view that CRNat had. I didn't have to scroll over to see anything. I changed the resolution to 1280x1024 but agree that it makes everything seem really small, so I think I'll change it back.

I absolutely LOVE the new look of the site, Travis...well done! smile.gif

I see #2 and everything's lovely! I love the new look. I laughed out loud yesterday when The Dash was shown on WJZ. So funny!

I agree that David's eyes look a bit odd in the turquoise color (at least that's what I see!), but it's all good!

Hey Travis--I have my screen settings at 1024 by 768 and don't even see David in the right hand corner. Also, on the main screen I couldn't find a place to log in?? Am I blind?? Don't answer that.

Ardie4dc

Hold the phone---I am crazy. I went back to the HOME page (I was looking at the forum page-duh) and I do see David but the light bulb is barely visible on the left. It's more like the #1 view.

ardie4dc

Okay, I"m back. Too many interruptions to really be paying attention. Durn Work Place!

My screen is the same as CRNAT & Squeezil, but you know I can navigate through with no problems.

I love the new web site. You are quite the guru. I like how the back ground stays put and the rest of the page moves.
Great Job!!

They are links now rather than boxes to input your information. If you are logged out, at the top middle it'll say Login | Register

Hi Travis!

I see everything like option #2. I see it in 1680x1050 (22 inch monitor). I just love your new layout. It's amazing!
