Sneak preview

[Morrus]

All true observations, but not really relevant to the question at hand.

I'm talking about the text of the news itself - that center column. What I'm trying to put my finger on is the actual "tidiness" element of that center column (which is separate to colour issues). If you look at the current news page (with the boxes) it looks fairly tidy, even if it does use the same colour scheme.

Lady of Dragons totally rocks. I've taken the liberty of making her a Community Supporter, cause that's what she's doing!

Thank you thank you. trying my best to add something back to enworld, I get a lot out of it

I opened two browser windows and stacked them one above the other, new page in one the old page in the other. As far as I can see the center new column on the new page is as tidy as it ever was on the old page.

Spacing, indention, font, placement of the right side icon, separating line, it all looks the same.

Try it. Compare Thursday the 19th on the old page with today's news, Sunday the 29th, on the new page. Both begin with "site news" and proceed to "News at WotC."

Other than color and the missing background I see no difference.



Maybe I'm reading you request wrong.

I think you can change your "Member" title in your personal control panel. If you can't, let me know what you want instead and I'll change it!

Ladyofdragons has very kindly written a module which displays the news in a format much like my old news page.

You can take a look here:

There will also be a little menu linking to each day's news, should you miss a day.

People will be able to view the news in whichever style they prefer.

This is so good. I wasn't a huge fan of the new news layout, but I understand the urge to move that way. However the sneak preview is very exciting. Good stuff.
