- The black box around each news item is too distinct. I'd be happy with
just a single line between items.

I will try this one on the next draft, let's see how this catches on.

- The 'Read on...' links are confusing and takes a lot of space (sometimes).
What's the difference between: "Read the whole announcement.", "Read the
entire announcement.", "Read SCLTC's entire announcement.", "Read the
details.", "Read the official announcement.", "Read more about BrickJournal

  "Read more..." or just "More..." should be enough

WCAG. Please see my answer to Dave's post. I will change this nevertheless.

- The bold header for each item could be smaller and still stand out.

I will try one single step smaller, but not more. Than it's enough :-)

- I actually expected the bold header to take me to the articles, too.

Yes, I guess this would be neat, but not necessary? It would inflate the whole
HTML file too much. I'm proud that I made it smaller than the current one, in
spite of all the invisible mark-up that is necessary to match the WCAG.

- Today, most people use the word "Forum" instead of "Newsgroup" - might
make it easier for newbies to realize what's behind the links ("News" is
uninspiring info written by others, "Forum" is where I can talk myself :-)

Ja, we had this issue before and it could be easier for newbies to call it
"Forums". Though it would be a reorientation for existing users, especially
because they are in fact "Newsgroups" nevertheless.

- Don't know if it is my FireFox, but the line spacing seems a bit too
wide - lot's of space wasted.

*deep sigh* :-)

Thanks for your thoughts!

(...) :-) My eyes are not that good anymore, that's why I can't turn my screen up to 1280x1024, but have to stay at 1152x864. This means that there's not so much screen real estate left when all the window frames, logos etc. have had their place. (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) My immediate recations were: - It looks quite good! But... - The top bar takes more than 20% of my available browser window (1152x860 display), but doesn't have content to match. - Why isn't the search in the top bar? That's where I'd expect (...)
