Ummm- No. Not good. The message area is broken into two rows, and the newsbox takes up 2/3 of the width of the screen. Make it smaller. You have to cater for 800x600 users as well, you know.Comment

There are buttons "go" and "go(new)" what will happen when the "go(new)" button is no longer new? will you just leave the new word in the box, or will you take it away. so there will be "go" and a "go" button... not a good idea.. or will the older go button be called "go(old)"? not a very good name...
so why don't you change the "go(new)" buttons name to for example "go(new window)"
more clear eh?
NOTE: THIS IS CRITISM TO MAKE APOLYTON A USER FRIENDLIER PLACE.
you don't like critism, do you? every time i have opened my mouth you have just told me to shut up(in a nicer way though).-Cthol

have you noticed that the americans nearly never complain here.... the biggest complainers are the scandinavians(and fennoscandians).

Changing the text to "Go (New Window)" would make the newsbox take up the whole row, leaving no space for announcements. Not good.
(Why, Chtol, have you seen any other swedes complain? I think it's finno-ugric myself.)Comment

Hugo,
will work on it.
Btw, the length depends from the length of the longest news title. sometimes it is longer, sometimes shorter...
Chtol,
didnt understand the "what will happen when the "go(new)" button is no longer new?" part, but "Go(New)" stands for "Go(Opens in New Window)". Anything else than that would mean more trouble for 800x600 usersComment
-
Hugo, I'm guessing that you use IE.
On Netscape and 800x600 it looks ok. But IE ignores my font size=1 code and put the menu in size=2
Anyway, I've edited the extra long news title and it should be fine

Hmmm it's a bit unnecessary IMO. I sometimes use the newsbox and simply jump back from there. You don't need to open a new window for this.
Apolyton seems to be suffering from buttonarites: a common page disease where the page will show all sorts of buttoms to access other pages that can be easily reached in other ways.
One other thing, I know this page is best viewed at 800x600 or higher, but if look at it in 640x480 things are really cramped with that extra button.
Don't get me wrong, it's useful but only in a superfluous sort of way....
You did say we should give feedback...
Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

dont worry CapTVK, I've become used to the fact that no matter what we do, someone will have a problem it, someone else will love it, and someone will say it was unneccessary
btw, on 640x480. most of the time, if you're carefull, you can make a page look ok on 640. but there are times that you just have to get used with the idea that it wont look ok...Comment
