I think it would have been nice to have used this opportunity to integrate the AZOTT feedback system into the forum a bit more. All user could have a simple score underneath their username and location information on the left hand side. It could also be a 'clickable' hyperlink to the main feedback page so that further details of the feedback can be seen. |

In the fluid vs. fixed width debates, the usual argument against fluid widths
is people with gigantic monitors who (for whatever reason) maximize
their browser window. Why maximize the window? Any good reason for that?
A couple of example sites using fluid layout
Amazon.com
Bill Gates' web site
Internets without doubt largest discussion forum (They must have done something right):

How do these sites look on my 1920 pixel wide monitor. It depends on me. I am given the power to ajust the browser window to whatever I like. And that is not full screen.
Amazon.com wide
Amazon.com resized
Esato resized
Esato full screen

why does ESATO keep that way? it should have had expanded all over the monitor. my monitor isnt that big so i wouldnt complain about the extra blank space that will be left on a 1920 monitor. some ppl do have these monitor and they would do complain.
IMO, i'd prefer the non-resized mode.

People having lot of white spaces on their browser head over to Esato Bar to get another 3 inches of esato on to the left of the screen.

I must say I don't have any issues with the new esato layout.
There's a bit more white space but its still as clear as ever to read and I adapted to the change quite easily.
Although, that logo still gives me the jitters. Its a bit austere and the white circle in the letter 'O' reminds me of a beady eye watching you; like one of the moderators' - keeping an eye on our every move.

@laffen: i think that the bars in the Mobile phone forum Index would look if they were a bit darker.

I reckon with the update in colours it looks better.
A couple of things I think still need tweaking are:
Pictures need to expand properly, this doesn't seem to be happening currently.
The "online" box could do with darkening to make it easier to see.
Just a couple of things I noticed.
