Guess what everyone. It is time again for us contributors to become bored with our site. When this happens I end up spending a bunch of time (which is actually a lot of fun as I love playing with the design) in long discussions with the contributors, many design committee meetings and finally many hours sitting in front of my computer banging my head against the table when the design is 2 pixels off.
Seriously though, I hope everyone enjoys the tweaked look for Row Three. I am sure there are glitches (like I just noticed that I forgot to do a search box) and I appreciate everyone’s patience while I fix the them. If do you notice something that doesn’t look right or is down right broken feel free to send an email to john@rowthree.com and I’ll fix it as soon as possible.
Oh and don’t forget there are only a few more days to enter in the Oscar Pool!
Also… don’t you just love freaking out cats.
The new design is awesome! There’s just one thing that is bothersome…the word “Row” in the heading looks a bit crowded, as if it is trying to hard to be symmetrical with the lines that are behind it. If the word was tilted slightly so that the “R” dipped into the black background and the word was more in line with the word “Three” instead of the top of the background it would tighten up the whole thing.
you are totally right Emma. I didn’t notice that before. The way the font is designed make it loose the angle in Row. We ended up switching fonts a few times with the new “logo” or whatever we want to call it. I think it might also look a bit better with a bit less spacing between the two words.
I fucking hate cats. I’m glad this one seems to be in some sort of agony. I like the new comment box though!
Looks mighty fine on my droid.
can you do the search engine in a the traditional white color?
Don’t like the comment form?
a bit more bothersome…I don’t even see the search engine???
Yeah, John mentioned he’d forgotten the search form. That’s kinda necessary, though! Hacker trick: add “?s=[searchterm]” to the end of the home page URL to search. But that’s lame and we should have the search field back active soon.
First time I’ve commented on the new site – I *really* like the comment form! The input text is nice and big so I can read it, the rollover on the “send comment” button is lovely. And of course, wider=better. In this case anyway.
Plus, you can re-size the comment form by using the little double-line drag in the bottom right corner. That is mighty swell.
Chrome allows that in almost all text fields. I raved about it when it first came out and everyone said I was stupid.
Huh.
cool… for those extra lengthy digressions
I suppose John you are already aware that the blank gravatar image is extra big still?
fixed the Gravatar image. Will look at the other ones. Oh and the re-size thing is a Chrome thing and does not apply to all browsers.
nah it wasn’t everyone it was just me.

I like. I like. I like.
Er, this may be a stupid question, but where’s the admin button gone?
See ur email.
Search has been added to the site and I’ve improved the logoish thing that we keep calling a logo even thought its just our name to match Emma’s comment. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve also lightened up the text in the comment box a bit.
