One too many tabs.

It looks like there are one too many navigation tabs now.  My search box is touching the first tab now.

I'd remove "Userlist."

I also think the "Feedback" tab (guestbook) link is redundant.   You have a Support section and a Website forum to handle "feedback."

I suggest moving the Userlist to the lefthand navigation menu and killing the guestbook... or at least moving the Guestbook to the lefthand menu too.  I can't imagine it's going to get much meaningful activity.

I agree with the userlist though - it isn't a quick navigation topic really - doesn't deserve to be up there.  Poeple might care who's in a project, but generally nobody wants to view every user on the site.

I like the Feedback tab - I get a lot of general emails that way from users.  I get a couple emails a day from the feedback tab, though you're right - nobody's really using the public guestbook.

But please hit F5 - I changed some theming to allow for the number of tabs.

How about renaming "What's" (all that shows up on my screen) to "New"?

Doh! And me in QA...

Firefox 2.0.0.9 on OS X 10.3.

And yup, the tab up top just shows "What's" instead of "What's New".

Hmm, I didn't have to hit f5.  Things look fine now.  Did you make the font smaller?

Sounds like a resolution issue with jaurar's "What's New."  Is the site displayed on a percentage or pixel width?  If it's a percentage then I'm sure widescreen people will have no problem... now, us 4:3 users  would be another thing.

I'd still give yourself some breathing room up there and offload the "Userlist" to the left nav panel.

I don't think it's a resolution issue - I'm using pixel positioning not percentile.  I was able to recreate the problem by changing the zoom factor for text - using ctrl+ and ctrl- changes the text zooming and zooming it even one time causes the effect described.  hitting ctrl and zero ("ctrl+0") normalizes the text.

However, I'll move userlist out of the primary tabs and shell it off to the nav menu in the sidebar, then provide a few more pixels in tab width.  That should allow for a couple levels of text zoom for those who require or desire it.

Full Bleed: no, I didn't change anything.  But what you saw may have been my work-in-progress cached for a bit.  Your browser may have flushed its cache and received new updates and my work-in-progress got updated to how I finally changed things.  Cuz I changed nuttin since your original forum post.

Me too, which made me think it was a resolution issue for him since many people run 1024x768 and I run 1280x960 and things were looking fine for me on the same browser but not the same OS.  Could have been the same issue below though...

Yeah, you must have been working on it at the time.
