The fonts are intentional.

That colour for the comments box would make them darker than the background. I wanted it to be fairly subtle - I'll make it a bit darker and see how it looks.

Eh, uniform fonts make the entire thing flow better, at least in my opinion.

Ahh, a somewhat useless extra I just (for no reason) thought up would be a quick-jump box which you could type in the packet id/name and just load that page.

Its very nice, good job Arta!
I think the best idea was the one you were saying about awhile back about having each protocol in its own coloum so the site would open alot faster.
If more documentation about other protocols is going on there, that would probly be the best idea, as each coloum could have its own 'Documents' section relating to the protocol it is under :)
As for the colors and fonts, there fine! nice and bright means nice and clear ;)

Keep up the good work!

You can do that with the search box. Perhaps a search box in the menu would be a good idea, though. The font in the menu is different because the main page's font looks crappy at 9pt. I'm bored of verdana for the content, though, so I want that as arial. They're similar enough :)

I like it! I like it!  Did you make that small green logo yourself?

No, that comes courtesy of Akamas. Thanks Akamas!

Not sure what you mean by different columns? Either way, I think this version is much quicker. I rewrote the menu code completely. When completed, the new site will still allow you to show/hide sections of the menu, so the speed improvement should be even greater. Multiple 'documents' sections could be good, but I don't think we have enough documents to fill more than one section :)

Hmm, i think i remember seeing the site like this for a day or 2 when you were talking about it. (But with out the game stuff)

hm i might need to del my cookies or somthing :P

I'd also like to see an option to display logon sequences including BNLS (it gets annoying for me sometimes to cross reference everything).

Also, "vl" and "bnetdocs" are commands on yubnub...hrm...

That's a really good idea. I'll put it on the list.

Neat! I wonder who did that. The site looks cool as well - *goes off to play*

The-FooL

Can you have the list on the left be a different frame or something of that nature?  Every time I click on a packet I don't want to have to scroll the window all the way to the bottom again to find the next packet.


Blaze

I really like the new template now.  It looks clean, and its fast loading.  :)
