Re: Please move...
Looks like the move is inevitable, so I'm gonna talk straight about the new site... no pulling punches because I know you guys can take it. :-) . The text is FAR too big on my browser (Firefox 3.0.10). A whole lot of scrolling just to get to the 5th message. I have to drop down a text size just to get the menu items to fit on one line. Likewise, the news items on the side just stack up on top of each other because they don't have enough room to breathe. It seems that the column sizes are exceptionally narrow (it's only using a 1/3rd of my screen)... a combination of widening the text area and dropping down the text size on the headings would make the whole page a lot cleaner and easier to read. An auto-sizing page would be ideal. . Is there a way to migrate the files en masse to the new site? It would be a shame to lose a bunch of the useful ones just because someone wasn't around to help out with the move. Of course, the list could also use a bit of pruning... . Now that I mention it, it would be helpful to add a Grasshopper Challenge section where people who are looking for help can post their broken files. We don't want a whole bunch of how do I loft 3 shapes together files clogging up the examples section. :-) . Check out rhinoscript.org - there's not a lot of material, but they have good ideas about sample files and the layout is pretty clean... It would be helpful to have 1) an option to upload a JPG that can be used as the patch's thumbnail, and 2) a field where the uploader can add which version the patch was created in, especially because future releases have the potential to cause incompatibilities with older files. Anyway, I know you've guys have got your hands full making the actual program better every day, but these improvements would go a long way to creating a rich user forum experience.

Re: Please move...
Are the contents of this old forum going to be archived in some way ?

Re: Please move...
The plan is just to lock out new posts in a week or so... the content will be here for as long as is needed.
