Quoting: KelsIs this why suddenly I can't see the site banner any more? Additionally, I assume that's got something to do with the featured articles thing being half-covered by the toolbar.
That should be sorted now as I've bumped the css and js versions in our html, so your browsers should now grab the latest.

There is also now a spoiler tag!

Ah yeah I forgot to do that, will do it with the next update and increment the version by another 1.

Quoting: drmothSeems like your changes broke the mobile site on my phone Liam. On the desktop is does definitely look improved though.
What broke exactly? Looks fine my end.

Quoting: fleskNot exactly design related but I think it would be nice if logged in sessions lasted a while longer than they do today. Now I always have to log in again if I haven't used GOL on a particular device in a few hours.

Previously the stay logged in cookie was set to a month, I've now set it to stay for a year.

If you are getting logged out after a few hours then something's not quite right, do you change any browser settings? If you do anything like user agent switching that will break it most likely.

Made some adjustments just now.

There is a new navbar for mobiles that actually works properly unlike before, the content is also properly pushed under it unlike before as well on mobiles.

Will be looking to add a category selection in the navbar later once I think up a good way to do it.

If you see any weirdness do a hard refresh to clear your cache.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroThe one thing I would change on GOL is the way the articles are displayed, maybe have squares and the description of the article when you hover over the picture, and an easier way of seeing and categorizing the different article series, maybe with a menu bar at the top (GOL cast, Funding crowd, etc).

Looking forward to see what comes of this :)
We do have the category selection in the sidebar, but I've wanted to put it into the navbar for quite some time, just haven't figured out a good way to do it yet.

I am currently making a navbar that works better on mobiles and after that I will tinker to see if we can get the category selector in the navbar too.

I am still making tweaks to the current design just in-case no one comes up with anything suitable.

Also guys I'm being serious about this, can we cut it with the joke links and such.

I've cleaned up the comments to be on-topic only.

We use custom software, switching to Wordpress is not an option. We are just looking for a design not to change our entire base.

Also there is an Edit option, it's titled Edit above your post.
