One teeny little niggle: It's not completely obvious that you can get back to your homepage by clicking on the "All Things Plants" link at the bottom of the page. Remember, it used to say "homepage" on that link.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

Something has happened to the layout when I have two side by side windows open for entering database info. The text used to adjust to the window so I could see all of it without scrolling, but not now. I just did a system restore to see if a newly installed Windows update had caused the change. It didn't. I'm using Chrome and Windows 7. Shrug! This is happening only in ATP. I just tried the Iris Wiki and the text adjusts to window width just as it did before.

The white border is WAY too white/bright... can that be toned down to a cream color? It hurts my eyes a little. The cream color behind the log is much more soothing, in my opinion

Maybe it would be better if it were the same green as the forum headers? to match the logo...

I think the green would be too dark. But that cream color would be nice,and the blue at the bottom of the page would go well with it, I think. (but what do I know? I paint pictures with words, not colors Hilarious! )

have to say it again... the more I see that stark white around the edges of everything, the less I like it. Especially when my eyes are tired.

I like the new look. I checked it with Chrome, Safari, Firfox, Opera and IE and they all look the same. Yep! You heard my right, even the infamous IE, that doesn't play well with others, looks good.

This was the look on my face when I got home a bit ago and came to ATP. Blinking I thought I was lost.

Then I looked like this: Big Grin When I realized Dave had played Geni while I was gone today.

Hurray! Hurray! This is me now. It's amazing Dave.

I logged out to see what it looks like, it looks so professional and appealing. Thumbs up
I love the way the search works like when I google something, trying to beat me to what I want typed in. Thumbs up
Love the larger font at the bottome of the pages. Much easier to read now. Thumbs up
The blue is soothing and pleasant. Thumbs up
I really love the Random Plant at the top of the right column. Hurray!

I use "All Things Plants" to go home also - makes me wonder if in the future when you need more tab room if you'll be able to delete the Home? I wonder how many folks use Home to go home? Just thinking out loud.

It's beautiful - Love the colors, the design, the everything Hurray!

I think I might know what you mean, but could you clarify this for me?

When you say the text used to adjust to the window, do you mean the font size would change automatically?

I was brand new to computers and websites not too long ago. I remember being absolutely frustrated trying to figure out how to get "home". I like the little one up top, even though most folks might not use it much, it may save a few others that initial frustration.
