I really like Leerburg's new website. It's perfect, much better than the old ones.

Has anyone else noticed an issue where, when you're navigating between pages, there is an unrelated page, sort of an index or site map page, for lack of a better term, that comes up for a second or so? It's very quick and I can't tell you exactly what's on the page, but it never happened before the most recent board change (yesterday, I think it was?). It's kind of annoying.

I've also just discovered that the new board design looks much better on my widescreen laptop than on my decade-old 13-inch desktop screen. On the smaller screen, the images on the left and right sides of the board are cut off so that you only see maybe a sliver of a dog's eyeball or a couple of whiskers. Kinda weird!

I haven't decided if I like the red and gray color scheme. I miss the blue and gold, like is still on the home page, etc. I don't know, red and gray may grow on me. It does look significantly better now that I'm on the laptop.

Yes, I get that as well.

Yep, me too & all the RED! Is that supposed to be for Christmas or no?

Sometimes when the page loads, it takes a second for everything to pop into place. It's probably more apparent on slower internet connections or when the network is slow in general. It's because there's so much more stuff on the new website layout than there was on the old one, and it will probably happen on any of the "new" pages, but we're still tweaking things with the new layout and hopefully this will get ironed out.

We're hoping the new layout will make the entire site much more easy to navigate, so glad you guys like it. They've put a lot of work into it over the past couple months. We plan to start changing the pages on the rest of the website to the new layout in a few weeks, but this means the red and gray scheme will also be applied to these pages.

I use a normal monitor so I can't really see the pictures either. For those of you who can't see them and are curious, you can temporarily zoom out to see what they look like (hold ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel up or down). Let me know if you're experiencing any other problems with the new site layout so we can look into it.

Thanks for the response, Bobbie. I appreciate all the hard work you've been putting into this project.

Just to clarify, in case there's any misunderstanding, I am not talking about pages being slow to load (sometimes they are, but that is a different issue). I am talking about a whole other page that pops up in between each page I am trying to navigate to when on the discussion forum. It doesn't happen in other parts of the Leerburg site, just the discussion forum.

I for one will miss the blue and gold color theme, but then again, I do live in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. You know, Michigan Wolverines and all. (Of course it's called maize and blue around here.)

When I use a Mac (OS 10), I get an index of "New Products" in blue text that shows up when navigating between pages. I have tried both Firefox and Safari browsers and I have the same issue on a Mac system.

On a PC using windows 7 and Google chrome as browser we find that there is an almost seamless transition when navigating between pages.

So do I. It flashes by, but not instantly. I can actually read lots of words.

"NEW PRODUCTS LEERBURG'S EXCLUSIVE CLEARANCE CORNER" comes up this morning, but only when I click on the reply button to a posting!

I was just abouts to say "Yeah! problem fixed" because when I did a "navigating test" there was no blue text showing up as had previously when navigating between the home page and the webboard page, when up it popped again! (Mac user).

Yes, I get that as well.

Me too and I STILL get kicked to the bottom of every post I open. That is my biggest irritation. I will always like blue and gold better than red and gray...
