Well hellooooo Medusa!

Brilliant stuff, DzM. Even my old codger's "Change!!! Noooooo!" initial reaction was immediately overcome. 'Tis a fantastic labour of love you do. The old raft is looking luvverly.

And oh look, I'm over the other side of the page now -------->

One question -- why does it say "BBCode is OFF" over there? ------->
I'm sure it was on earlier.

Ooh err! It all confused my poor little brain for a few minutes, and then I got it sussed (I hope!) It all looks nice and shiny, DzM, and that gurt big hammer you hit it with obviously did the trick :o) Do we need a bottle of champagne to break on the side of the snazzy new Medusa set-up? ;o)

Good stuff DzM, I like.

Is the RSS feature still there? The old feed has stopped working =/

Also, any chance you could add a QuickPost feature, and maybe change the skin so that the username and info is on the left (like the old one).

Keep up the good work!

So far the only thing I don't like is having to look to the RIGHT side of the screen to see who said what I'm reading. My brain automatically goes left to right. How am I supposed to know whether I agree with what I'm reading until I see who said it?

Yeah the foe list brings out inherent paranoia. LOL! At least, Johan, your entire country hasn't been tarred and feathered by a fellow Medusan. 8)

And if I may make a suggestion DzM, increasing the contrast between background and print helps visibility. Whatever the new background colour is, (beige? Canada's favourite colour) it's a bit on the dark side.

Thank you very much, DzM. I disliked it at first, it looked too cold to me, but now, when re-skinned, it looks more friendly. All the new thingys we´ve got are worth it though, I believe.

Still it´s a little bit cold-ish, but not too badly.

Few things which would make it more comfortable, I think:
a) in posts - move the author to the left, instead of the right - after all, in euroamerican civilization, most people read from left to right.
b) if you click on a topic, if you could be moved to the last page, instead of the first one. Or, if a number of pages could be closer to the name of the topic - from former Medusa, and other phpBB/similar formats, I´m used to such style (and I believe many more people too), and I always click on a topic, and stare surprised :-)

I'll second that. Not top priority, bossman.

Umm. The User data is now on the left. Has been for around six hours or so (at the time of this writing).

You still seeing it on the right?
