I'll start off by saying I'm not impressed; it's busy, and takes up too much space. By this I mean the white space around the edges. I normally wouldn't care about that, but in this case, something about the site makes it too wide for my browser window, although the
information in it fits just fine.
On the posting:
I note that we now have the ability to post without previewing first, and that we can no longer alter our posts from the preview page. I can't say that I'm fond of either of these changes.
To: NovemberCharlie
I see nothing wrong with it so far.
To: NovemberCharlie
The reply protocol, on the other hand, seems to be unaltered.
And I do like the ability to customize the sidebar by topic, now that I see it.
To: NovemberCharlie
Yes, I like customizing the sidebar as well. I have no opinion on the format, yet.
To: NovemberCharlie
I LOVE IT [but im easy] gimme a peice of string and im occupied for hours give me a ball of string and you wont see me for days lol
To: NovemberCharlie
I have no comment on the form and function of the beta. But I'd like to take a moment to thank the people that have developed this site, run this site and who are apparently working their backsides off to improve this site.
To: John Robinson
If I could ask, will this new format improve FR's operating capabilities, or is it solely for "looks"?
To: NovemberCharlie
< !! > Freepin' awesome.

I'm not a techie, so my reaction is to the basic construction and window dressing:
Better look and, with use, it appears to be easier to navigate.

Well, it looks good. I like the new format. And if it improves the performance of FR, that's most important.
To: dalereed
It stinks!!!! It's the lowest in Faber history.
To: John Robinson
As COBOL programmers would say, "GOBACK"!
To: John Robinson
Good feng shui.
To: John Robinson
I like it!
Now, if you could just change the font color to a dark (Navy) blue.
