I just posted about that in the Help topic.  My right column stuff is at the bottom, too.  When I look at a first-time viewer view, it's almost correct with some background color problems.

Yup, you're right. New template!

And the orange section is part of the new intro module.  Edit it to check out the new features.

Yup - looks like the new layout, but it's not quite right yet - I'm sure they'll have it sorted out soon.

It makes the contents of the bio really important now, all up front and center as it is.  I was planning on doing more individual bios for individual lenses.  This will certainly get me moving on that!

I'm not worried about the layout problems (too much).  I'm sure they'll get worked out pretty quickly.

Not sure if it is supposed to be this way or not, but 2 comments come to me immediately:

1.  The print looks smaller (maybe too small) on the text sections.

2.  To me, having the text sections in half-orange and half-white makes it a bit distracting to the eye.

I'm pretty sure the half-orange and half-white thing is an error.

I gotta say I hate the "explore related links" being placed directly in the middle of my lens page and not just off to the side...

Yes indeed lets encourage people to go to other lenses directly without even finishing the one they are on at the moment..

and a thumbs down for the placement of the lensmasters bio directly at the beginning of the page..


a good day all around

1.  The print looks smaller (maybe too small) on the text sections.

I agree with that.  It's definitely harder for my middle-aged eyeballs to read.

But I'll withhold judgment on the rest until the kinks are tweaked out.

Anyone else seeing a new template for lenses? So far, liking some of it, but when I look at my own lenses, half the background of the body is orange, the other half white. And all the right hand stuff is at the bottom. Everyone else's lenses look fine (well, as long as the orange isn't _supposed_ to be there. :-) What's up?

Hi Susan,

Our designer just mentioned that the problem you ran into (looking at your own lenses) should now be fixed.

There was a problem with my The Beatles Songs lens - the page was split orange/white and the usual top-right parts were on the bottom, but now everything is OK.

I love the new layout/design. It's fresh, it's modern. The content is easy to read and the background colors are nice. My only concern is that "Table of Contents" may not be necessary as it's repetition of what we have in "Contents at Glance" - but it's easy to fix.

Fantastic job, again, Gil & Co!!! Thanks a lot!

You can turn off the contents at a glance!

That 'contents at a glance bit is sending me insane. I loved my old table of contents. Can I make the new monstrosity f*%k off?
