Some notes and ideas about the layout/appearance:
  • I like the customized themes. Just please clean up the "Dark" theme as parts of it are still light and very hard to read
  • Allow easy rearrange of link boxes (sections, information, etc...)
  • Don't make the code a -1 font by default
  • Allow more customization in general. More is better!
  • Automatically wrap posts that are too large for their own good
  • Allow a "no link boxes" version for those who would rather just view content and have navigation aids appear vertically adjacent, not horizontal
  • Make the main table width greater than 95% - I have significant "wasted space" on the right hand side.
  • Allow the poll box to disappear if you have already voted once. Perhaps just a simple text link to the results.
  • (quick plug) I really, really like the dark theme - if you haven't tried it, do so.
  • Make all the images PNGs
  • Have a section to suggest changes and bugs, separate from Perl Monks Discussion
  • Revamp the whole "Report a Bug" sectoin. I could write a whole new node on it, but basically, it has no directions, takes too many clicks, and does not default to a "new" "perlmonks".
  • As mentioned above, many links are doubled, especially those in the "sections" box.
  • Don't allow blank titled nodes - you can't click on them!
  • Have the "requests for the editor" posts be optionally private, so you can leave a private message to an editor.
  • Have a better, consolidated "Welcome" page, with a single, clearly-written FAQ answering all questions about posting, voting, linking, purpose, experience, etc.
  • Allow more than one personal nodelet, and allow them to be named. Alternatively, allow control of the standard nodelets (link boxes) - name change, add and delete links, etc.
