>Come on. This is no excuse for number and unit on separate lines. no breaking space?? Also it might be enough to have the time w/o ago. It could not be in the future.

If the time representation goes on a dedicated line, believe me, you will not like this. It was tried before releasing prototype 1 and it creates much more empty space, which you do not like very much I believe.

>It's about that the whole rectangle should be clickable to go to the message. Not only the the tiny link, wrapped over two lines. The important to me is to reach the message quick, no exersise in mouse targeting.

...and it is. Simply click anywhere on the area, and it will go in the message. A link has been added for visual representation as, at first, many may not know that everything is clickable.

>I can live with it like it is. I understand the numerator gives me the there is new something information, the color is more or less extra. Possibly you invent a better name for it then red number, so there is no more hickup.

I do not think you follow me on this one. If there is no color representation, it makes it very difficult to see something new just came in. You will have two numbers side by side and this wouldn't tell much.

>The use of the numerator 4 on this is obvious. I would never had noticed (or needed) the color, it was only you mention it and I had a problem to figure out what you where talking about. To me the color is unimportant for the use of the site - only to communicate with you :)

Well, it still needs to be obvious there is something new. Whenever it highlights, I know immediately I got something new. If everything is the same color, it is not really good.

>What I have done is read your reply (it was the only new at this time), go to account, switched to new interface, hit enter on adress bar (or F5, I'm uncertain). After that I missed the reply lefthand, looked around and found the thing in top counter (1/8). Clicked there get the list select the top message (yours, the one allready seen) open the message. The counter switched to 8

That would be the normal behavior.

>You have this big colored area on top. On my initial message, this area was not colored at all, no lefthand picture, just background. Looks fixed.

Ok

>3d is an insert. Just to save me the effort to create an extra picture. Nothing fancy, just MSPaint.

Ok, but what it is that you believe is not good with that? There wasn't anything changed about that with the new interface. This has been as is for a very long time.

>What do I care what is text and what is graphic? I just see the result. And this does not fit togheter. Again, this is a hint to you, just my impression. Bad on 3a is that I have to fiddle around with my mouse to figure aut what is clickable and what is not (For example my name looks the same as anything else, but is not clickable). 3b is the same approach, but differnet background, thats all I see.

So, you would like to have the top menu items to be hyperlinks with underlines, is that correct?

>I know what the pop up does. It's ok so far. But why is this the text Audio in the popup? It's not clickable, what the popup is about is in the textbox above visible anyway.

Audio is clickable. That is a dropdown list item and it behaves as it should. I must miss something in what you are trying to explain.

>Doubtless. No complains about this advertisement for non paying customers. I've told you my idea about contribution if I do not pay money and I believe in TANSTAAFL. The advertisement is related to the stuff we are doing, nothing strange. Just - flickering. Distracting. Since this seems to be a loop anyway, it would be enought to change it with refreshing the message area / tree area via messages button.
>But if I pay the use directly I think I should not be bothered with advertisement. This would mean to pay twice.

Many do not share that opinion. Many wants to be on the Internet for free and now believe only the companies should pay for it, which is the model used by pretty much all sites now. We'll put more time into that and we'll let you know if something is adjusted in regards to that.

>So the question was: is this advertisement (for that the whole banner) there if I pay for a subscription?

See above.

>There are reasons we are still on this site. ;)

Ok

>Simply on messages refresh? You do not need the timer, nobody is distracted, and if there is no new message at all it is not worth to look anyway.

There is no perfect solution. On long activity of no new message, it would mean a user, while remaining on the site would not see new banners. We had some of that before and a mix and match could do with upcoming updates.

>What the scrollbar is good for is not the point. The top end of it is, if I just look at it, within an area that is just of background color. No hint why the scrollbar ends just on his place. I know what area, I understand why but I don't see it. Just focus on the top of it on a wide enough screen, and you will have no idea for what reason it just ends there. This is because the background of the tree aread simply goes without any border to the background of the message area. The border is around my line 4b, nut normaly not visible.

I am having difficulties understanding this point. Do you basically want a divider between the top and the bottom?
