   hey, just a suggestion for site usability.. this particular issue has aggravated me more than twice..

   how about a link from the forums to the main leaflabs.com page? so i don't have to create a new tab and type the url every time =)

   Seconded

   I rely on Firefox/Safari URL completion, but a link would be nice.
   A link that opens in a new tab even better :-)

   yeah, i rely on the completion too, but a link would be more convenient, as it would alleviate the need to move to the keyboard. a link that opens in a new tab is nice, but i'm in the habit of right clicking links and manually opening them in new tabs anyways (still avoids the keyboard)

   I always right-click into new tabs when using a mouse,
   but MacBook doesn't let me get away from the keys :-(
   and the mouse gets lost when I'm in bed ;-)

   The entire LeafLabs menu:
   devices store forum docs projects blog about
   would be neatest (mainly docs to include links in posts to the right place, or check facts)

   To be clear, a link to leaflabs.com would be an improvement.

   i'm working on this right now; possible strange forum appearance ahead until it's all sorted.

   mbolivar - Helpful improvement, thank you.
   It does look a bit weird before I log in, the labels for "Register" and "lost password" overlap with the "Main page links" menu on Firefox.

   mbolivar - would you remove the IP address from posts to make DoS attacks harder to target?

    gbulmer: right you are on both counts; fixing now.

    gbulmer - heh, you can only see IP addresses because you're a moderator. they aren't displayed to regular users. with great power, i guess?

    still working on spacing out the login info

    OK, I've tweaked things to look okay on Firefox and Chrome in OS X, Windows XP, Ubuntu. Safari also works. IE 8 on Windows XP is alright.

    The "Remember me" button overflows the border on IE6 in XP. That browser is a total dinosaur, though, so I'm not going to spend any more time on it.

    Hope this is satisfactory for everyone; please let me know if anything appears weird on your browser and platform.

    Beautiful-erer !-)

    That's good.

    you can only see IP addresses because you're a moderator. they aren't displayed to regular users

    Okay! That is reassuring.
