great new design for the forum.... but is the big white gap between the blue navigation bar and the forum's section title intentional? seems like too much to me .

Also the header and blue "Community Forums" area take up alot more space than the old design. Looks good though.

I like it but a colored gap would be better.

it does seem like there is alot of white space, also i don't think the main part fits the header colour

Also there should be a bigger gap between the title "Community Forum" and the actual links below it.

wow, there is a lot of white space in Internet Explorer, like double the amount that Opera and Firefox show

I'll look into that... might be a simple fix...

I agree to much white, you know around where is says home,news,downlaod ect i think there should be colour around them like coulour in the links or coulour around them.

I think it could be reduced. We were talking with (IIRC) Surfichris about this and settled on leaving it with that padding, but I agree on some pages (basically everywhere except the index) we could save a couple of tens of pixels.

Wow, damn! So that's what Patchou was talking about

Yes WDZ, it's a simple fix, adding CSS in a conditional comment with half the padding. IE has a double padding bug.

It was solved in http://www.msgpluslive.net/css/iehacks.css, for example

Meh... I can't figure out how to fix it...
