There's little to say that hasn't already been said, but I'd just like to say that
a) I like the new color scheme, as I've always been a fan of silver/grey.
b) I perfer viewing forums in full-width format (especially on monitors with lower resolution), so the side-bar might be better suited for the main site instead.

It appears that most of the parent links on the left side-bar are also found in the top-most strand of links, give or take a few. I am indifferent to the color scheme, but I must say that the grayscale look is nice. I recently switched my desktop color scheme from a bluish tone to grayish, which I prefer now. I, too, would much rather see the forum in full-width "mode", even if there is a color-coordinated WindowSecurity.com branding at the topic. I think the integration is a great idea, so long as there isn't any unnecessary superfluity of noise that distracts from the content of the forum itself. It takes time and patience, so here are my two pfennigs, in the meanwhile.

I'm not sure that the "Articles & Tutorials" section renders correctly under safari browser the text seems to overflow its section. Any mac users experience the same problem?

Its not so bad with Firefox on Ubuntu, just the content security and viruses links overflow a little.
I was wondering if this means the site is going to be windows based some time soon? And will it still be security-forums or is it going to be changed to windowsecurity?

Firefox on Windows and the same two overrun their border by a character or so. (currently at 1024, but I think it was the same as 1280 on my main monitor, I'll check later)

It will still be SFDC (or at least SF), but just with a diffferent wrapper.

The content will remain the same, only the appearance is being improved in this phase.

Hopefully the next phase will be the migration to the new forum software ... however, I cannot confirm that. One step at a time is what we currently are about...

You know, with my two 19" TFTs each at 1280x1024, I was forgetting what it was like to have to scroll horizontally.
Thankyou, SFDC, for refreshing my memory on this.
Over half the threads I view now require horizontal scrolling, especially in the programming forum, mostly due to the bar on the left taking up a large proportion of the screen "real-estate"!

Could I please enquire as to why you removed the script?

Mainly due to it's being counter-productive to the interests and efforts of this website.

OK first off this site rocks and kudos to those who do the work to keep er running.
Comments:
1. Agree with all posts thus far... Bring back the old style. This sytle is way to busy and crowded. Don't like the colors either.
2. Windows Security? I thought his was a GENERAL security forum. OK, put away your flame thowers as I am not trying to start the debate over which OS is better, BUT with windowsecurity.com as the main header on the main page it makes a newbie or a visitor think "O great another windows security site". Thats not bad, but its not good. This site has WAY more to offer then just windows security which is loosly implied by the header. We all know that there are tons of great open source security tools and open source like windows has its share of secuirty issues.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I agree with phunkodelic's second point, I tend to stay away from the OS specific forums & that may likely keep newcomers away also.[/quote]
