Bugger sad I was thinking it was just me, though, so no worries smile

Re: New design

No, I have the same problem, when the main field isn't high enough to support the sidebar. I know it's a nuisance, but it happens on few pages, fortunately.

Re: New design

Another design update! Please, let me know if anything's out of order that I may have missed.

Note that this upgrade comes in anticipation of a redesign of the entire The Gatehouse website.

Re: New design

Redesign? Scary! yikes

Everything looks fine to me (on Firefox). Not too keen on the grey background or having lots of Arial but I don't see anything being cut off. The size of the right sidebar means the forum itself is shifted a bit more to left for me but if it's meant to be like that I'm just nitpicking smile

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the redesign entails!

I know. I normally hate change too wink

The forums are being shifted to the left a bit more than before (though it was the same in the version before the last one), which is a bit unfortunate, but when the rest of the new layout goes online, you'll see it makes sense.

Re: New design

Oh! And it's not Arial. I wouldn't use such a common font, of course! Tsk. tongue

Re: New design

When I came on just now, I had to reload twice because I thought FF had half loaded the place. Since this is temporary I'll wait to see what's in store for the final design.

Re: New design

The switch to the new layout is happening today. Most things were prepared so visitors shouldn't have encountered much trouble. Still, I might have missed something, a redirect not working or a page no longer there. If you find something out of the order, let me know!

And, of course, your thoughts on this new, spartan design are welcome.

Re: New design

All looks copacetic via Firefox. Loving the new look! Slick and modern, yet classy.

Re: New design

You're a big fan of minimalism, aren't you? This new template reminds me of the one I was using on phpBB2 (i.e., "Monkidream"). Well, except this one's much darker.
