Sorry for being blunt, but the new layout SUCKS. I cant find anything! I liked it way better before.

She is correct - depending on which computer I use - the right side is blank where the Gallery is supposed to be and the log In is missing - The gallery Edit button doesnt work when I click on it. This is odd because I used this other computer at the beta site many times and all was ok. I have deleted cookies etc and relogged in ( can only log in under the forum - no other place has a log in spot for me )

What browser are you using when you see this problem?  Do you still have this problem because it's working fine here?

ID....you can find the gallery listings missing on the home page on ' https://www.wincustomize.com ' ....however it appears fine on ' https://www.wincustomize.com "

Could be a cookie thing...but it does it for me...

Correction...that 'may' be something to do with my being logged into the admin site on a second tab, and not something others might see...

Personally I think the new site looks great. Sure there's going to be a period of adjustment while you get used to the new layout, but that's the same with anything new.

In a few weeks time it'll be like wearing that comfy old jumper you're so fond of

A navigational sidebar is better located on the right side most of the times. It's closer to the browser windows scrollbar which always is located on the right side. Allowing for less travel distance between the scrollbar and navigational panel. And since western languages are read left to right it also make sense to put the sidebar to the right so your eyes don't have to travel across the sidebar area every time to find the start of the main content you are looking for


no no you misunderstand...im not talking about resolution...i am talking about browser size...i dont know if your poll included the relative size people browse in - but i like my browsers in small windows, but if its on the right i am willing to change

Yes.  They are being worked on now. Possibly will see it later today but more likely tomorrow.

No, this would not be a cookie issue.  Most likely its a FireFox Caching Bug.  Clear your cache and that should fix it.

"All I see on the right side of the homepage is fourm activity and such, no navigation."

xDaYSx, the right linkbar is going to be different if you are reading this thread from the "forums". Please look at the url in your browser. If you click on the "Home" button at the top, you should be able to see the gallery on the right hand side from the WinCustomize home page. From there, you should be able to edit your library list, just click on the 'Edit' link.

most people dont have the browser so big that it can show the main navagation pane on the right...it looks and runs good, but it would really be better if the navagation pane remained on the left.

I don't think that is true (and if so, they would have scrollbars on their browser).  I don't agree it would be better if navigation was on the right.

In the future, subscribers will have the ability to choose between different site skins so maybe there will be other view options then.

Eliot - you're goign to have to upgrade your version of Firefox.  They keep changing how they view from version to version.

Well, I don't think they are designing the site based on people who like to have a tiny little browser window open... Just maximize your window when you are on WC and live with it. Geesh.

I absolutely LOVE the new layout... been using it on the test site since it first came available and have been waiting patiently and anxiously for the real deal ever since. It's fantastic!

FF 2.0.0.1

I'll go switch to the other computer shortly to see if its the same - but I was on that computer all day yesterday and it was like that.
