Problem 4 : Readability sucks.
On top of the fact that you're eating from the both vertical and horizontal display areas, SOMEHOW you managed to make the actual text EVEN LESS READABLE than it was on the old forums.
I can't put a finger on it and say it's the font type or size or colours chosen for text and background, or maybe the weird contrast between the huge portrait plus large text beside it and the tiny text for the actual posts... but fact remains, IT IS HARDER TO READ.
Fix : look at the old forum, copy the style as it was there. It's THAT simple.
This. Oh, so very much this.
Reading this on OSX (which manages to render small sized fonts pretty blurry in the first place) gives me eye strain after about 5 seconds -- it's also the first site that made me hunt for the zoom shortcut.
Then I read that comment about constructive criticism SO THERE I LOOKED AT THE SOURCE AND IT LOOKED BACK AT ME.
Nice job CCP, I'm suddenly very very happy with my place of work.
Speaking of abyss:
You override font size to 11px. Why would you do that to me?  .
The document pretends to be XHTML1.0 transitional while using a strict dtd. I've never ever seen that mistake, honestly I don't even know how it's possible to screw up a dtd declaration; it's straight copy and paste. You trying to troll my chrome? Speaking of which, what's up with the table based design?
How about setting line-height to, say, 1.2em? Makes lines not trying to eat the one above. It's a good thing. And what's with the font declarations?

font-family: arial,helvetica,"lucida grande",verdana,sans-serif
This will never apply. Lucida grande is a nice font, but every OS that will have it will also provide arial or helvetica. So, why?
Speaking of view source:

Honestly, the whole thing -- with it's inline style declarations, it's total obliviousness to anything HTML or CSS, the total lack of adhering to user interface design principles, it's apparent targeting of internet explorer 6 -- is pretty atrocious in my professional (and more importantly, drunk) opinion. |
