Re: New NBN Forum Design

You may have noticed the forum has had a bit of a facelift; this is to coincide with the launch of the new NBN website. As with any re-design, there are bound to be some glitches and problems, particularly with older or more obscure browsers. If you are using an A-grade browser (e.g., IE7 or greater, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera) then it should be fine.

If you do notice any glitches or have any suggestions for improvement, please do let me know.

Re: New NBN Forum Design

The NBN links at the top of the page aren't working, except the NBN Gateway one that goes to the test server. When is the NBN website being launched?

Re: New NBN Forum Design

Hi,

Validation of the forum fails:

html validation:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% … Findex.php

css validation:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/vali … Findex.php


I think the color contrast in the top navigation bar dosent match accessibility guidlines. I have the some problems to read fonts in the navigation bar.

Re: New NBN Forum Design

@Steff The links will start working once the main NBN site goes live.

@Armand Thanks for the feedback - I'll get these glitches fixed. Regarding the navigation bar, it's currently only partially functional. Once the main NBN site has gone live, the rollovers should start working which will make the navigation bars somewhat clearer. I see what you mean about the contrast, particularly for the light green bar, but unfortunately I don't have much control over the choice of colours as I am just copying the main site design.

Re: New NBN Forum Design

The issues mentioned above should now be fixed apart from the colour contrast which, unfortunately, I can't do anything about at this stage.
