Welcome to the new UD!

Kevin Wang and Peter Wagenet at ZeitStudios devoted their time and talents to revamping the Uncommon Descent blogsite. What an improvement it is! All of us who are part of UD are in their debt.

As with all such upgrades, there are bound to be kinks that need to be ironed out. Please use this thread (or the previous one by DaveScot) to note any issues in the design of the site that need to be worked out. Thanks.

    I miss the preview function for posts. Anyway to get that back?

    Everything else looks great. As someone said, “very slick”.

    PaV

    The preview function is there, or am I just seeing an ‘echo’?

    On my 2.0.0.1 browser, the previewed text is white against forest green, but blockquoted text is barely visible, as it’s shown as one shade of forest green lighter.

    Let’s see how it appears on the ‘responses’ column.

    On my preview (just now), it was barely visible, and without the vertical quote bar.

    “On my 2.0.0.1 browser, the previewed text is white against forest green … ”

    On my 2.0.0.1 Firefox browser, that is (sorry …)

    Now I’m on Explorer 6.0.2800.1106, and I don’t see the preview function at all! Just white on white. You were right, PaV!

    I like the new design. I notice that typing into the “Post a response” does seem to have a slow response (I’m running Firefox 2 on W2K on a slow Thinkpad T20), so I’m just using notepad and will cut and paste into the posting box instead.

    Iwas thinking about the big image of the bacterial flagellum at the top of the home page – the image seems to be placed here to advertise a prime example of ID which is fine. As a suggestion, can the image be linked to some resources about the bacterial flagellum for people so interested.

    Best wishes

    Hey, I know that everyone has probably already pointed this out, but the site has problems in Internet Explorer.

    Viewing it in Firefox is perfect.

    In IE, I got the huge white space on teh first page, a messed up comments box (preview is the white on white), and on the first page the little navigation boxes don’t have text in them, they just change colors.

    Those were the things I noticed. (I had been viewing it in Firefox, so didn’t notice these things before.)

    Dave,
    is it possible to allow post editing for about 30 minutes after posting?
