Here’s a big ‘me too’ post (I know how annoying those can be, but I think it seems relevant here), but this last post summed things up for me well :)

Me too. The 2 things I currently use the most are ‘Top Stories’ and the newsgroup links.
  
  • The helpful links box in the right column has the same issue. You might also want to play around with indentation in that box. I do like the little icons, though.

  • The headers for the center column seem a bit too large in the context of the rest of the page.

I agree with the above comments.
  
  • The popup preview of highlighted news stories is a nice addition (a positive comment!)

Yea, that’s nifty! I like it!
  
  • The colors in the new version of the logo seem a bit off. It’s like Maersk blue got in there and washed everything out.

Gee thanks, I hadn’t noticed that, but since you said it, it really stands out!
   so of course you’re free to ignore me. :)
Me too!

Hi Brett, Jordan,

thanks for your comments on this!

I’m not working on LUGNET to ignore people, but to listen to them :-)

  
   I miss the quick links to deeper levels of the newsgroups, however -- they’re on the current site in the lower left corner.

I haven’t considered them as important as they seem to be. Well, I guess I have to place them to the front page again, will do in the next draft.

  
  
  • The colors in the new version of the logo seem a bit off. It’s like Maersk blue got in there and washed everything out.

The blue part is actually the one that has changed to match the other colors (“Triadic Color Scheme”). I also noticed the blue like “aqua” on another monitor here (but the old blue as light purple), so in general it depends on adjustment of color and contrast on each output device (monitor).

However, before making a final version final, I will contact Todd and Suz anyway to arrange terms for logo and color, so this might change again.

Leg Godt!
Rene
