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 hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
