Yes, please tone down the gradients on the topic pages - please make them a bit darker and only light at the bottom!

I remember this was a problem with the old design as well until it was modified.

Oh, and make the Metropol logo clickable like it was last time.

And fix the MSN bug - if you click someone's MSN thing, it takes them to their profile, but their MSN address isn't there.

Looks great, but could do with a blue background like TVF's.

Plus, the homepage of the site should be the front page of the Lounge, to make it one-click instead of two-click.

But fab, nonetheless.

Absolutely superb work Benjy and Martin. It's a comfort to be in The Lounge, with a more attached feeling with TVF.

Very nice indeed. Just noticed a few problems for you to fix up though. Metro Chat still has the old look and the help page is still designed for the old look.

Good plan! Although my bedtime is more 6pm these days - and well the clocks going forward will just throw the whole thing into disarray!

I'm actually only here because I also cannot sleep.

I was up at 5am this morning - are you proud of me?


Am I to assume this new look will tie in with the eventual TV Forum new look - it obviously shares a lot of common elements.
Good Lord!

I'm not, but I'll bet the matron was.

One other thing I've noticed is the animated logo at the top left hand side of the screen, The Lounge logo stands out more than the Metropol 24))7 logo which in turn makes the Metropol logo look insigificiant.

Just a humble thought process of mine.
