Site NewsI did not intend to redesign this website but I ended up doing it somehow. I just wanted to add a cascading menu but since that style won't look good with the tabbed menu on the previous template, a number a modifications on the template was required. And then when it's all finished, I realized that the whole look changed.

I know some users like the previous one, some says they like this better, and other says it's just ok. So I would go with the majority who said it's just ok plus those who said they like it better.

Feel free to post your comments, suggestions, or constructive criticisms.

Note: (1) There's an issue with Opera where the menu goes under the JavaScript banner. (2) Menu goes under the Flash banner.

To be honest with you, I like the look (layout) a lot, but just hate the colors! Also the top menu goes under the mambo host banner in Firefox.

Your banner floats above the menu system in IE6 and Firefox which prevents me from accessing the downloads.

I think the new layout is more easy to navigate. Colors, like the comments above say they dislike, don't bother me. No wohooo!!! but neither booohooooo!

I primary use opera 8 browser, and the dropdown menus slide behind the banner. But I have IE as well, so if I really want to view something I use that, but this page comes up in my daily joomlasession, and I'm to lazy to check all sites manually. So until IE7 i will stay opera.

Hi,

I like the look, don't like the colours too much.

The drop down menus do not appear directly under their title, they slide down about 2 inches to the left of where you have the mouse.

The menus also intermittantly appear behind the advertisement banner.

This is using Safari.

I do like the shape of the look and the menu etc. Also the new nagivation and it's functionalities are great. But green is simply not my color. images/wink.gif

Ugh Colors..Somehow liked the old one mo : jayhack
But this is an improvement because it's not as 'busy'/crowded as before.

Hey Afonic, am I still 1/2 Banned from this site?
I noticed since I 'smite' (smote?_ you after your last silly PM to me, that I am being redirected to a CPANEL - No site is configured at this address error page!
(a little code added to index.php to react to my IP address, no doubt! :p )

Anyway, learning to live with the colors, and for the flash interfering with the menu, maybe just change the flash to an animated gif? once cached, it won't make a difference bandwidth wise...

Plus I like liquid templates as they can stretch to fill my big monitor (1600x1280)

I have been very impressed with the layout of the site lately. I have seen small changes, and it was really good now, easy accessible stuff, nice layout. So, when I saw the green bg I thought, "wow new layout, this should be good"... but I almost started laughing when I saw the finished graphics and colors. Sorry, this does not sit well with me.

Please take a sweep by www.colorblender.com and find another scheme images/smiley.gif

As others pointed out, good job on the structuring, but why the advanced animated dropdowns? I want info fast, not slow animated menus.

Hope the feedback is appreciated.

Yep the layout is good, but the colors don't indicate a professional site, they are a bit on the feminine side. Keep up the good work though...you are appreciated! images/smiley.gif

OK i'm changing the color... : admin
Ok... I already got the message. I'll change the color. For now, just bear with this one because i still don't have time to change it.
