I have a question or two about the new design, in the origional thread, the new theme was going to be fully css for layout, no tables, is this still the case.

Also, is the site going to be xhtml strict, and if it is, will it be sent as such (application/xhtml+xml) to browsers that supports it (gecko based, opera, webkit based, etc.)?

although, if it's one of those things that if you told me, you would have to kill me, i understand. :D

Oooh... I'll have to throw that question over to Timdorr and Toxikk when they get on. ;) While we're all working together, they know more about what it's all being coded in. :yes:

@timsweb - I'm actually thinking about that... since the forum themes will have to change to reflect the rest of the site, I am thinking about that. Although I *really* do like the current badges. If there is a change, it might just be minor. Not for sure yet.

I'm assuming transitional XHTML (since we're transitioning :p ), and not application/xhtml+xml. There's no real benefit to it anyways, other than saying we look cool...

Well I, like many other people here, thought "Urrgh" when I saw it. Personally, i hated it. But then that was looking at it at this huge scale. When resized to the sort of size you're likely to see it at, it actually looks all right. I'm reserving judgement until the final design of course, I just worry because it does seem somewhat backwards in the current trend of design on the web nowadays.

That said of course, I have no doubt it's going to look amazing in its new home. Bring on October :D

well, when sending it as application/xhtml+xml (with the mime type, any version of xhtml, doesnt have to be sctrict) the browser can use a quicker xml parser (cause it doesnt have to look for all the bugs and malformed html, etc.) so apparently the page renders quicker

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
