I used to use it as an example in talks and instruction on HTML design. Alas, it is no more. While you've possibly packed more information into the new design, it lacks the nice little features that made the old site quite special and attractive. Now it's just like any other website :( In particular, from the point of view of a PHP programmer, I miss the link to quick references on the top page, although I managed to find it by searching for "quickref" and have bookmarked the page. Your top page says that it's on the Manuals page, but look as I might I couldn't find it there using Netscape for Linux. My thoughts exactly! I hate that new look. It's..depressing! I must have missed some discussion about the new web design? And when was it decided (and by WHO?!) that this new design is ok? e.g. The font is not Linux-Netscape-friendly and the manual is so screwed now. Very hard to read. BIGGER fonts please. --Jani -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As for me the fonts are way too small and some look like lego-blocks. :) --Jani -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At least look at http://ca.php.net (which I can update instantly). Well, it's better now. At least I can now actually READ most of the text. :) I changed the style sheet to use percentages instead of absolute pixel or point sizes. Does that make things look better for Jani, and still look ok for Andrei? But the h2 / h3 / h1 elements look like lego-blocks for me. :) This must be caused by the fact that I don't have Arial font in my system..using the defaults fonts (overriding the document specified) 'fixes' this. Why not use 'Verdana' ? It's more readable font, IMO. --Jani -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can you too look again? At least look at http://ca.php.net (which I can update instantly). minor issues: 1) with mozilla I get horizontal scrollbar with 800x600, it should be no problem to eleminate this one 2) usage stats should be in the navigation (downloads | documentation | support | reporting bugs | links) like this usage stats february (1.500 zillon pages) downloads | documentation | support | reporting bugs | links 3) left next to "search for" we could provide some quicklinks pointing to the most current builds (left aligned) 4) "tips and trick" and "improve your skills aka. books" should be links in the upper navigation bar only 5) where is "projects" ?? andr -- Andr Langhorstt: +49 331 5811560 [EMAIL PROTECTED] m: +49 173 9558736 * PHP Quality Assurance http://qa.php.net * -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
