| Kommentar | This has happened to me a couple of times now. I'm not sure I can pin down exactly when or why, but it looks like a bug. (Win XP, AOL 9, laptop screen.)
In 'English gesucht,' once you get several pages back (say about page 9 or so), the page numbers at the bottom next to 'Neuer Artikel'
Auf folgende Seite gehen: Previous 1 . . . 6 7 8 9 10 . . . 8906 Next
suddenly disappear halfway under the bottom edge of the blue box. You can still just about grab the top edge of one to click on it, but only barely.
BTW, those page numbers have always been too small to click on easily, and now they're even smaller in the tabs at the top right, next to Hilfe, which is also much too small and not where anyone would think to look for it. Any text on the page that needs to be clicked on should be at least as big a font as the titles of the threads. And in fact, everything like Hilfe/FAQ and Ankündigungen should really be in the Navigation menu, all in one place where it's easy to find.
I agree with everyone else that the headings on the main forum page are too unobtrusive and the blue bars are too obtrusive, that is, wasted on –> mehr. (Which is basically a wasted link anyway, since the forum titles link to the same thing.)
I also agree that the color scheme is generally nice; I like the shading and the paler gold. I also like the black hairline around the text fields.
It would help to have a shade more contrast between the lines now that the text is so close together in the lists of threads, or else not to cram the lines quite so close together. I would recommend making the leading within a single title (a long thread title that wraps onto two lines) narrower than the space between two different titles (the names of two threads).
The little bullet icons in the Navigation menu are annoying to me and not helpful enough to justify the time it takes to load them on slower connections. It would be better if you could make a hanging indent, and again, make the leading smaller within one line that wraps to the next, and wider between two separate lines.
Couldn't the major categories in the Navigation menu just be in boldface? That is, Startseite, Eigene Artikel, Suche, Hilfe, and Ankündigungen?
The ! sign in the upside-down triangle next to 'Die mit '*' versehenen Felder müssen ausgefüllt werden.' is also visually annoying. It's like we're being admonished before we've even done anything wrong.
I like the bold and italics solution. It's great to have something that actually works in IE for a change. The Eingabehelfer is sort of annoying when it keeps covering things up, and if you get rid of it, you can't get it back very easily (for example just with a key combination to toggle it on or off), but hopefully we'll get used to writing around it.
I also like the clickable/linkable Beitrag numbers, even though I doubt I will often use them.
And I really like that the i-links in the dictionary now work again even on my old computer! That's a big help.
I'm still getting occasional script errors when I use the back arrow after reading an individual thread, but fewer script errors than the first day.
I also am one of the people whose e-mail and additional info apparently disappeared from their profile after having edited something else in it; I trust you're aware of that global problem.
Thanks again for all the hard work, & congratulations on Italian & Chinese. (-:
