Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, it is definately helpful.
What I'm most interested is the "larger" comments, not font size and bolding (although spelling and other glitches are very useful). So far I have had mixed reaction to the templates, some people love the fast loading, others prefer something with images and a little more "exciting". The consensus seems to be anti frames though, so I'm considering not bothering with bringing the version 1 template set over. Any comments on this?
As for the text version, it was actually just a side-effect of the design and not something we planned from in the beginning. We noticed it after the templates had been created and thought it useful enough to mention.
Yes I know the grey theme is hideous. I'm still not sure what to do with the Themes. The second theme is not meant to be attractive, it was just showing that you can set user options like color, font, that affect the entire site, but are set per user. You could just as well replace that with "Large Text" theme "High Contrast" theme. We haven't yet done anything with that.
That said, we do have a designer working on a new set right now, and the final version will ship with three templates, the ones you see here, a non frames set with images and a different look and feel, and a wap set for cell phones.
Thanks again for the feedback, and I'd love to hear from anyone else on this as it is an important part of the program (perhaps the most important part).
Cheers,
Alex
