Grrrrrrr. (Incidentally, I've only activated the poll feature for this one thread -- I'll be deactivating it again once we're done here.) Please do vote, and if you have any comments, I'd love to hear them. Just post a reply to the thread.[/color ![]()

[*]Version 2: I still like the old one as well. Neat and simple (though it didn't have the varied amusing disclaimers), and it goes with the rest of the site. [*]Version 3: This one is interesting. It's got a...classy? metallic?...look to it. I like it too. The background shade of gray works well with the layout. [*]Version 4: I had to lean forward and focus before I could really make out the difference between the background and a pure-white background. If I hadn't been expecting a different background, I'm not entirely sure how long it would have taken me to notice it wasn't pure white.

The unwrinkled TJI logo at the top kinda spoils the crinkly effect in #1, but only if you think about it. On the other hand, the words "[i ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm voting for [b ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() One important change I would like to recommend regardless -- though having the article separated into two columns looks cool, it is REALLY inconvenient for normal browser reading! I would suggest either (1) reverting to the normal single-column layout, or (2) adding an anchor link at the bottom of the first column to take the browser up to the top of the second column.[/color ![]()

No objection to the original format, but I kinda like the new "newspaper" look. No objection to either #3 or #5 -- #4 just seems to "feel" better, somehow.

![]() Introducing a true system of volume numbers would be problematic. For one thing, the issue number would no longer be enough to identify articles: you'd have to quote both elements to be able to distinguish, for instance, between Vol. 1 no.1 and Vol. 2 no. 1. It's also not clear what the volume rollover point would be: one traditional method is to have one volume per year, which means that the issues from the most recent two years would have to be re-numbered. This is probably more trouble than it's worth, so sticking with the "Volume 1 forever" method is probably the best -- with the elimination of the volume number altogether being a close second.[/color ![]()
