Nice new look and organisation, but what about regular contributors?

[Nokia Ron]

1) The bread crumbs above could be made expandable and Home pointing to the dibo index could be an alternative?



2) When I am quick replying to a thread, the "+Reply to Thread" button still stays and I tend to click on it rather than "Post Quick Reply". This resets the "Quick Reply", which I found irritating.
While I may get used to this gradually, new users would be unhappy with this approach.

I don't understand quite what you want but the bread crumbs still seem to work as before with Discussions being the Discussions Index page.

I meant that in case of some posts, like this one, "Discussions" bread crumb is not visible and is not expandable.

So, my suggestion was to start the bread crumbs hierarchy from "Discussions" rather than "Home" (atleast on the dibo) .

I thought I would share my comments on the new look of FN here..

Overall :
its amazing and I completely like it..

on FN HomePage:
Fresh looks.
At the bottom the REGIONAL SITES, after clicking the drop-down menu, I am not able to collapse it again. Or when I click outside, it does not go in.
Under every news heading, we have NOKIA DEVELOPER NEWS repeating. Do we have other news sources and should mention them all the time ?

on DESIGN:
This is way better as we have Design related resources, news together.

on DEVELOP:
There is a imbalance as there are only 2 items in HIGHLIGHTS panel but the left panel extends quite far.

on DISTRIBUTE:
// same as above

on Wiki home Page:
There seems to be only a image-level change here.. not a complete re-engineering of UI.
there is the same imbalance due to more articles/panels in one side.
Suggestion : The Carousel type of panes.

on DiBos:
The pane to the left needs spacing and grouping. it currently looks all stuffed up..
Inside a DiBo thread, at the bottom the buttons CONTACT US, NOKIA, ARCHIVE dont appear on Mouse over ( the text becomes white and hence invisible).
in Dibo New thread screen, THE SUBMIT NEW THREAD doesn't is not prominent.

on Wiki articles..
They dont look very appealing, They appear without breaks.. Is this the CSS issue Ron was telling this morning ?

The Share Icon(green arrow with +, in the top) doesn't condense on Mouse RollOut or Mouse Click-outside.


Looking forward to your discussion in this topic and improvement suggestions to our Wiki

This is the imbalance I mentioned in the previous post.. I had to Zoom out, hence ignore the clarity in the image..

Also would like to Sign-In directly from the top-bar and not navigate to a separate page to do the same. Like in Twitter, a small panel pops out, where I can enter my username and Pwd and Click Login..

This post has text in 2 different font sizes and different paragraph spacing.. This is not giving a pleasing look.

Also like to point out that, Text is hidden behind the image..

I like EDIT post here.. Its really quick and does not move me to another page..

that looks like a bug to me, I assumed they were expandable.

ya agree wid croozeus and i have observed that the bread crumb is not at all expandable and for me its not in some cases its in most of the cases.
