First baby steps

Some of the stylistic elements of EN2, such as the revised logo, have now been added. Feedback as always is welcome

I think it should be "EN World 4", to synchronise with you-know-what. Or maybe "4N World".

Also, the logo is probably too small for the irregular character placing in "WORLD" to be appreciated. To me, it looks a bit untidy.

I'm using a computer at the library, viewing the site through IE 6.0.2900.2180 etc, and a lot of the new stuff shows up with a sky blue background. It worked fine in the latest version of Firefox. Indeed, it looked pretty cool when I saw how it is supposed to show up.

Front page is having some weird effects for me. Running IE 6 and there are these panels of white (like big white squares) that make reading some of the news items difficult.

Michael Morris · 6th September 2007, 04:22 PM

Yeah, IE 6 can't handle opaque png files. I need to remove the backgrounds for IE. I'll figure that out how to do a toggle for IE 6 without sacrificing the effect soon.

If at all possible, upgrade to IE 7. I know that isn't always possible, but when possible upgrade. IE 6 is a piece of crap anyway.

I, too, have IE6 (company prevents me from upgrading yet). The front page is VERY difficult to read with the white square panels... But I guess you know the problem exists.

Looks good in Opera 9.21!

It looks good, Michael. One minor thing is that the "L" in the logo doesn't appear as defined as the other letters.

I too am getting the white squares...guess that means I have IE 6...I've no idea; it browses the net and that's good enough for me.

Just to follow up - no problems at home in IE7 - just problems with IE6.
