Hi there,

I just started my staying here, but one of the things that first jumped to me is that the consistency of the site could be improved a bit.
I mean, in the forum pages, there are at least three different button styles, the big blue create topic, the pagination buttons and the search button; different text boxes also work different, as some turn into light blue when you type in them, others stay the same... etc.

Moreover, one you see a messages, the actions one might expect to be buttons, like "edit", "reply" etc. look like links, and the actions that one might expect to be links, as they represent navigation and "state change" look like buttons. That also confused me a bit.

And regarding the menus on the left, I think the font size is a bit small and the contrast of the colors is not strong enough, and that can be tiring for the eye, even you have a good eyesight, so people with a not-so-perfect sight might be in trouble.

I know it's a WIP, so it's not a complaint, just my opinion on how some things could be improved Wink.

Keep up the good work!
D.

Edit: Now that I checked again, it might have been better to put this message under the UI topic... oh well Smile
