Yep, that sure is one handy feature hiding the "quoted" text 
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9

After a few clicks on different things, "Help!" menu becomes "H Help!".

The new CP design looks refreshing. The page area is more forum oriented and more .NET style compliant. The right-hand side panels are good as well. The only thing I may point my finger at is the sharp contrast between the green and orange used. The both colors are a bit too saturated.

One used to be able to tell immediately which "tab" of the home page was active, but since the nifty green buttons don't maintain state, you now have to scroll down a ways (last 10 Updates box) before you can see the Category:C#, etc. in the box label. Be nice if the Category was displayed somwhere in the 1st 4 main boxes...

The old tabs have been moved to the Green BarTM. I'll make the Chosen One a little more obvious.

It seems that article summaries are no longer displayed as tooltips in the "Last 10 updates" table. IIRC, they used to be there.

Clicking on links in the Question Time area on the left takes you to the forum list, not the question you clicked on. They do work, however, if the question was posted to an article's message board.

With the new layout, the Last 10 Updates box is now so far down. Surely that's one of the first things that should be on the home page?

The Last 10 is where it's always been. It's always been a debate as to what's more important - the latest articles or the latest popular articles. My feeling has always been that the popular ones would be of more interest but I'm open to debate.

Why not just let the users customize it and put things wherever they want?

Looks like the forumid parameter isn't getting passed into those links.

By design. Do you want them back? I really wasn't sure if they were useful or just bandwidth wasters

I, for one, really appreciated them. For instance, if there wasn't one, or it was gibberish, chances are the link wasn't worth clicking on. So, in a way, they saved bandwidth...

Besides the space that appears after my name before My Settings (where's the pipe | between them anyway), there also seems to be an extra one after Message Boards. Note the right margin of Message Boards appears wider than the rest.
However, looking at the source code, there doesn't appear to be any for Message Boards, so I'm not sure why that is happening.
For the username, the links appear to be on separate lines causing the name to have the extra space.
Finally, the Lounge double text that appears due to the CSS is now actually much worse than before. The full text is appearing now as opposed to just the end bit of it that's causing the scrollbar to appear.
All in all, still a great job.

I prefer to read from paper so i would like an option to get a printable version of a TheCodeProject article with all feed-back messages included.
My current three-step solution is:
1) Print the main article.
2) Open one by one the interesting feedback messages and copy them to a word document.
3) Print the word document.
Does somebody knows a better way?

Hey,
Just a small note to let you know that the home page is too wide. I've seen Chris has posted a message saying the new width support is 1024 - which is what I'm running at, but the home page is always too wide and needs scrolling. Should it matter: I'm running on XP pro (SP2), Firefox 1.5.0.4
Just a side note too, but the new layout isn't as easy to use as the old one, the 'my settings' / 'bookmarks' stuff that is now in the top right was easier to find at the top left, and the new menu running down the left has lost some key areas. It's nice it's been reduced, well, kinda, but I think it's been reduced too much. For example, 'STL' and 'projects' are missing, and I was always clicking on them!
I understand that you need to support the most popular stuff, and you can't make everyone happy (and you have the most anal and hard to please audience in the world!) but I thought I'd provide my feedback for what it's worth all the same...

If you notice, there appears to be two Lounge links at the top of the page causing the scrollbar to appear. That is a known issue that is being worked on.

It happens on the home page, even though there is only one lounge link.

I seem to recall Chris talking about enhancements a while back, so just in case there's actually some new goodies being planned, here's an idea for the pile. Don't know if it's been suggested before or not since there's no "official wish list" of which I'm aware.
One of the forums I frequent has a tool tip style box pop up when you hover over any thread post, showing you the first couple of sentances. It's much faster than actually hitting the link, letting the page load, etc. and is a handy way to quickly spin through the forum and see what might be of interest and worth a more in depth read.
Of course, given my recent comment about Chris pushing 40, this suggestion may well be met with a flamethrower and a couple of marshmellows. I suppose that just depends on how his posterior feels after all that bike bouncing in France...

I'm just wondering how this would work with the current system. I could have something that pops up a preview box as soon as you pass the mouse over any message link, thus saving an agonising mouse click.
Or are you thinking that it would be more useful on the homepage summary of lounge links?
And in the interest of not perpetuating such a fallacious and outlandish myth as to my impending age I choose not to bite.
