I discovered something that may need some changing. I'm not sure if it's my setting or not, but the little message you have up the corner, such as "You're up very late tonight,[USERNAME]" cuts off at a certain point and you can't read it properly. In this example, right now my username is cut off by three letters. I'm not sure if you intended it that way or not but I thought I'd share.

If it helps I'm using Firefox and my screen resolution is set to 1152 x 864.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

Yes Atlin youy're right ! That's the same for me too ! And I think that's the same for all the members ! :(
That's not really embarassing but maybe something can be done to change that ? :)

That's by design, yes. There's a limited amount of space allowed in that area and some of the old welcome lines exceed it, so they get cut off. It's probably going to happen with any of the longer usernames on the board, but I do need to look at rewriting some of the welcome lines to be more concise. Thanks for reminding me of it. :)

In fact, this little "error" isn't too embarasssing, as we can click on our name ! that's really the more important :wink:

Okay, I've shortened some of those welcome phrases down a bit. Should work a little better, but really long usernames might still result in some cutting off. That's just going to be a sacrifice of the new design for now. :( But I added some new phrases too, so that's something to look forward to at different parts of the day. :)
