It looks great

Dear Michael,
I like the new adjustments you are making to the web site. Easier on the eyes.
If I had one nit to pick on the subject, it is this:
We "Log On," then we "Logout."
How about Log In/Log Out ; or Log On/Log Off ?
I know it's a just a crotchet, but chalk it up to my decades in printing and publishing...

Hi Mark - I've updated all "Logon" text to be "Login" instead to match with "Logout". That should be safe I think. Switching from one word to two words with added whitespace could have other side effects so I'm not going to do that right now because of all the testing that would be needed to ensure it didn't break things.
Thanks,
- Michael

Thanks, Michael.
One word or two, at least it's parallel: IN/OUT rather than ON/OUT or IN/OFF.
My inner "Monk" is assuaged.

Michael, here the background of the image is different from the background of the page.

Should be fixed now.

Michael, now the only thing that reminds us of the past is the vertical dividing line and the numbers in square brackets want to move away from it a little bit ;)
The wiki has become more cozy and fun, I like it, thank you!

Hi WN, the dividing line can be used to resize the width of the threads list so that needs to stay, the numbers in the square brackets show the number of messages in the thread which can be helpful to know and the square brackets themselves are shortcuts to the first/last messages so those are good to keep as well.
The wiki update is thanks to Phiro!

One thing that could be pretty cool for the forum would be an option to show replies nested under the post they are replying to. Probably a bit too much work involved to tackle right now though.

I hesitate to weigh in here again, as I always get the impression that drawing Michael's attention to the website steals his focus away from MoI itself!
One thing I'd like to see is the addition of comments to the Gallery entries. It would be nice to compliment the posters and ask the occasional question from time to time.

hi michael,
small thing. the headers of posting, login, logout, etc are the old shade of blue. is there any way to make it one of the shades of blue from the new header. probably the darker one would make sense. i attached a pic from the logout screen, as an example.
i liked an earlier post about the users 'inner Monk'. kinda the same thing here. not a big deal though. but it would probably look nicer.

They're not - they used to look like this:

Unfortunately such things get abused by spammers and need constant review and moderation.

thank michael. it actually looks a lot better today than it had in the past. i don't know if you tweaked it more or maybe i had a cached version. but the colors seem much more aligned now.
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Anthony, yes last night I did update that to match the header.
Working on mobile version support for the forum now.
- Michael
From: Michael Gibson
Mobile version of the forum has been improved, for accessing the forum on a phone:
http://moi3d.com/forum/lthread_list.php?webtag=MOI
I'll see about going to that version automatically when you're browsing from a phone.

Testing from mobile.

hi michael,
the updated resources page is very hard to read for me. all the links are in bold. the blue links and the black text are in bold. it's just an affront to my eyes. i liked it much better before. it might at least help to have the black text next to the links not be in bold. but just the whole thing is very odd and hard to read for me. i can't think of any document or any website where the entire thing is in bold. Usually bold text is used sparingly for titles to paragraphs. you wouldn't right a paper or news article and put the entire thing in bold text. or have the forum be in all bold text. by making everything significant 'via bold text' it makes everything insignificant.
sorry to say something negative. but that's my honest two cents on it.
