I miss the old MacMinute pocket watch logo! The all red logo has no connection to Mac (OS X). I alse really liked the old simple no-frills layout. But I guess we all have to move on at times.<br><br>Escher<br><br>

By the way, I wander what software they use to code the HTML. I've seen a lot of these designs with thin black borders recently.<br><br>Escher<br><br>

I love it... it's much cleaner and easy to follow. The navigation elements are more obvious (the old ones were easily missed as a "design element" rather than navigation. Sites trying to "copy" the OSX look are lame and unimaginative in my opinion...<br><br>Great job guys!<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red>

Thanks guys!<br><br>We are aiming to make things as streamlined as possible and I felt MacMinute was due for a facelift. We didn't change the news navigation at all, as that is what we are made of. We just tried to reduce the page load more, bring the news closer to the top, and make the navigation elements more efficient.<br><br>Thanks for the feedback. We all appreciate that!<br><br>And yes, I miss the stopwatch as well, but the new logo is kinda cool too. <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Stan

I like the new logo - it's more simplified and less "cartoonish" than the other one... so um, when does the new logo make its debut in the forum?<br><br><br>[color:red]semicolon dash parenthesis</font color=red>

BTW: What editor do you use for your HTML layout?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Escher<br><br>PS: What's with the time restriction on editing posts? I wanted to correct the two glaring typos in my post above (lest I look like an illiterate idiot) but the board software informed me it was too late. frown

ooh. i still have an account here. <br><br>i check out your news all the time, dont really frequent this forum that much. i really like the new front page. red is the new, um, something. with the amount of blue thats immediately associated with OSX in my mind, a nice smattering of RED is very appreciated. <br><br>somehow in my mind that all flows, i swear.<br><br>
