181 The new colour scheme

I noticed the new colour scheme for Issue 202 still uses brown for the hover background on links. Shouldn’t it be a shade of green? Also I was thinking the main ALA logo would change colour too with each issue. Anyway, great site! Keep it up. So glad you’re back.

182 A dissenting voice?

Sorry to be late to the party but I’m a busy man. I haven’t had time to read all the comments but the ones I have read seem to like ALA 4.0. I don’t.
But if you move that bloody logo (I hate branding) over to the right of the viewport so I can read the, mostly, brilliant articles and interesting comments on them without having to SCROLL HORIZONTALLY I’ll change my mind. But if anyone tells me to make my browser window wider I’ll scream and probably not visit ALA again. User rules OK (since CSS2, anyway).
I quite like the ‘live’ comment preview though it was lucky that I had scripting enabled. Not everybody does you know and I haven’t been able to find any noscript tags in the XHTML source. ( http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/wai-pageauth.html#tech-scripts , I think.)

183 not so good

You make over 25% of page left side completely useless. This huge logo is so important? Very good content, but scary design. Old ALA layout was much better for me.

184 You guys practice what you preach

- Tasteful combination of serif and sans serif types. (The small font is just fine) – Perfect application of big space on the left which is a basic layout principle of white space. – Palette that gives the site a mature and respectable air.

Totally inspiring. Best design ever!

185 I like ALA

I always found ALA a great source for CSS stuff. But now it looks like a cornflakes box. Maybe the web will look in general more like a cornflakes box with CSS. Certainly that impression arouses when you look at some designers’ pages … Talking about the old ALA as looking “conservative” I don’t know how to call this. But maybe such things come after publishing books and growing up.
Best greetings.

186 Indeed!

I was suprised to see a new design. I do like it though.

I also plan to buy all three of the ALA shirts when I get paid.

190 what about closed discussions

When the discussion are closed, the link to the Discussions is removed. Atleast let me read what was already discussed, even if new discussions are not allowed. Perhaps someone already asked the question similar to mine and it was answered.

As it stands I’m stranded.
