Gee John, what do you do in your spare time? I have to admit I'm happier nearing this weekend than I was last weekend. Good work.

I like.

But then I am the kind of person who periodically rearranges the furniture just for a change. (My family hates that).

Wow! I like the photo album/hosting idea. As for Navigation, it DOES seem more time-consuming. I seem to just be jumping around, seeing some new posts, trying to find my way back to where I saw something, but can't remember which "topic" it was under. A few times I've seen a headline in the right column, and then went back to read it, and found it was gone.

All in all, great job John! You really DO deserve a raise!

Can we have a style sheet that takes us back to the old looking FR? :-D

Just installed my CSS. Thanks John.

Perhaps you could put all the navs into drop downs on the top? And they could be dynamically filled depending on your sidebar preferences and what not.

(I had big plans for that extra sidebar y'hear!)

Go with it. SURELY there is a way to make a navigational sidebar that everyone can deal with. EVERY large website has this.

Look back at my Blue Border thread. People are lost without a navigation bar. Without it it still looks like a center frame page missing the menu frame.

Most freepers I talked to like the new functionality, but don't want to sacrifice the old look. Any ideas?

I'm over in the BETA now. The font is pretty bad. I think most all FReepers are pretty used to Arial. Might as well stick with that.

I like the functionality and don't want to sacrifice the ORIGINAL Beta look. Blue Border rocked.

You're about the only one. Everyone I know wants the old style back.

Question: are you going to have a place where we might be able to upload our stylesheets? They generally are pretty small, and that would help users not get screwed if they are using a different machine (if they have the css on their local drive) or if the site they are hosting it on goes down but FR doesn't.
