New news page is tres cool, but a little wide

[buzz]

I like the new news page. Woo!

It's a bit wide, though. I'm at 1024x768 right now, and I need to make my browser window pretty dang wide --say, 90%+-- in order to see everything. Would it possible to make the center column (the news content) fluid, or at least a little narrower? Narrower columns are easier to read, too, FYI.

Oh, I'd also prefer the section icons to stick to the right-hand-side of their content areas, but that's just me.

Fantastic work, otherwise.

Just wondering... will the news page be moved to www.enworld.org once the kinks are worked out? Because it's rather annoying if the top URL only shows a "This page has been moved" link.

I concur -- it's not adjusting properly in Mozilla/Firefox or Opera. The message boards handle it Ok, so I'm sure it's feasible for the main page, too.

They'll eventually be an autoforwarder. Proper forwarding of pages is still one of the major kinks we're working on. :\

I for one don't really like the new look on the main news page, especially since the other "new" look was so awesome with the curved line and the fluid page-design.

Also, where did all the funky yellow colours go from text in the forums etc., it really livened things up amid the orange, grey and black.

Edit: Added some clarification.

Also, is there any way for us to change what "modules" are displayed on the front page? I personally find the long list of recent message board threads along the right side to be a huge waste of space, and in a perfect world I'd be able to turn off that section of the page.

If there's no way to user define these things, can I request that the space be used for something else? I don't like/need "Latest Forum Topics," "Poll Randomly Selected From Message Boards," and the calendar.

I'm afraid there's no way to do that on an individual basis. It's everyone or no one.

Great Job guys!!

Congrats

Nuts. Any way we could take a poll or something and see what information people want on the front page?

I mostly liked the front page content on the old page, now 40% of it is useless and cluttered to me...

I really liked the news page just prior to this update, I really dislike it now.

It looks clumsy, too busy, not nearly as artistically pleasing as the old one. If this is the price for having a unified login I think the price is too high... Can we have the old news page back please? Pretty please?
