If you're talking about the wiki, there's a tab in upper right corner. If it's about the installation guide, I can't find it. Maybe it was forgotten. :? Contact Judd about it.

Ibex · 2006-07-07 20:28:06

I'm missing a tab to the packages-page (actually, I'm missing the whole packages-page). I use that page a lot to browse the packages. I hope that will be fixed soon . An update of the layout of the wiki, forum,... would also be nice .

Oh, and, if it would be possibe to make that "Welcome to arch" message "optional" (like: possible to remove it), it would be nice because for a frequent visitor the news may be more intresting then the welcome message that is above the news.

But, in general, I _love_ the layout .

I was talking about the installation guide. I have just reported a feature request in the bugtracker

cactus · 2006-07-07 20:37:38

the site doesn't resize well...in fact, with my default browser size..it looks horrible.
oh well. hopefully it is just me..
a quick window resize seems to fix it fine.

Pierre · 2006-07-07 20:40:53

Yeah, of couse this is cool. The welcome-message could be a bit smaller. (perhaps like that at http://www.archlinux.de ;-))

I think it would be a good idea to have the same design at the forums and wiki to. It would be more consistent and less confusing.

kensai · 2006-07-07 21:50:31

Yeah is preaaattttyyy!!!!!!! awful. It will take me some years to get used to it. Horrendous colors and feels like an Ubuntu.com ripoff. Well it has won as the most horrible website design for a distribution I have ever seen. Please learn from the major distros and make it in an ergonomical way it is so uncomfortable.
well my .02 $

Well the above is a joke I just had to let that out to make me feel better with the design, but all in all the new facelift was in place and very expected, just that now forum colors don't get along so forum needs a bit of attention now. And yes the above just needed to be said because have some true in a sarcastic way.

tomk · 2006-07-07 22:08:06

I miss the repo links - current, extra, testing, etc. I used to look at testing regularly to avoid pacman -Syu surprises.

kensai · 2006-07-07 22:22:23

Hmmmm.. Yeaahhh!!!! I'm feeling better with the site now it just take you half an hour of starring at it and you will love it.

magnum_opus · 2006-07-07 22:39:09

when browsing packages there are no more/next buttons

lumiwa · 2006-07-07 23:02:35

I like new "dress" but I don't like a color (light blue?) when you click on package and there are package description.

stonecrest · 2006-07-08 00:53:06

I think it looks awesome, real slick and comfortable. The only problem I've run into is the rss news feed doesn't seem to be working. Great work rezza and whoever made it happen

They're down the right, as is the install guide.

Although these mighta been added after you checked, but they're there now.

The_Nerd · 2006-07-08 02:49:39

i get the ad's underneath the package search box and the recent updates box.. i'm viewing in some funky resolution since i leave my bookmarks toolbar open all the time, but it might be something to fix so the page as a whole would scale better.

also, in some of the news entries a line of text extends beyond the margins. again not a deal breaker, just some things that might be looked at. overall i like the new design, its simple, yet its definately pleasing.

Situation 1

Situation 2

Quick Edit:
I'm not all that educated with google's advertising and perhaps that's how the ads are meant to behave, going under the defined content. If that is the case, then oh well, no biggie. And, i forgot to add that everything looks great when i close my bookmarks toolbar, so these problems will most likely happen to a few people here and there, but not to many of those who browse the site.

Mr Green · 2006-07-08 04:54:31

Rezza your the man!!!!!

Nearly as good as my site (not!!)

Well done

iphitus · 2006-07-08 05:03:50

Grats to rezza for the design, but thanks mostly to Judd for setting it up and implementing it all.

Mr Green · 2006-07-08 05:08:07

yeah him too 8)

cactus · 2006-07-08 05:53:21

silly judd told me he wanted the site done in symfony..some php framework.
I tried to get him to let me use something else..but he said no..
Then he decides to go and do it himself..and use something else!

oh well..

Pierre · 2006-07-08 06:54:47

It seems as if Judd reads this thread. ;-) So here are some points:

* Could you change the link to the German Website to https://www.archlinux.de/
* Is the package-browser available as source (or perhaps the whole website)?
* The mailinglists-archives point to a non-existent site.

Mr Green · 2006-07-08 07:06:49

Not sure about underlines ? ... might look cleaner without

my2c

xerverius · 2006-07-08 09:25:40

Site looks good, it's a lot cleaner than the old one. But there is one important feature missing:

* Sorting packages (last update, repro, etc...)

sven · 2006-07-08 11:05:11

I like the new layout alot. Especially the creamy background color makes it easier to read texts.

mingfal · 2006-07-08 11:16:55

The new site is wonderful.I think it's time to change the look of the forum ,too.
