renders good in my browser. Looks good on screen.
A few comments, which I hope are constructive:
“Brickworld 2007(1 Dec 2006) BrickJournal” I mention this only because a lot of
the center announcements are for events. This makes it look like brickworld
occors 1 Dec 2006. I’d change this to “Brickworld 2007(posted 1 Dec 2006)
BrickJournal”
Like the idea of most recent moc announcement. I’m not as excited by the idea
of random brickfest folder. (brickfest already has a way of seeing something
similar).
Love the top-level helpful links. I’d make sure that the explanations beneath
the links are accessibile to a non-AFOL. The text above the link is easily
mistaken for text below the link. This could be fixed by a small vertical
separation between link-text pairs.
The newsgroups links are difficult to understand: “Register for Free” “Guidance”
I’d suggest using the tooltip text instead, which isn’t much longer, but is much
easier to understand “Register to get posting priveledges” and “information
about the newsgroup system”.
The search box is confusing. The edit box where one would type a search term
looks almost exactly the same as the static text above. Either they should look
different, or the search box should clear when the cursor is placed in the box.
I do like the idea of moving the search box to the upper right corner of the
page.
The lugnet logo isn’t a link. Since it isn’t a link I don’t think that the
Lugnet logo requires a tooltip. If it adds more information like the trademark
information or artist name that would make it all okay.
Love having the lugnet map on the front page.
Should be consistent whether topstories is one word or two. “Top Stories” at
top of box, “Topstories” at bottom of box.
