Tomorrow (Sunday), I will be implementing a new look to the Uncommon Descent website.  This will not be an instantaneous process, so there may be a period of time when the site appearance is incomplete.  We appreciate your patience in this process.

In addition to the new look, there will also be some new features that we hope you will like.  Comments will be threaded, so you will no longer need to refer to comment numbers when posting replies.  Your comments and feedback on the changes will be welcome.

On another note, Uncommon Descent has had 5 successive record months in terms of traffic.  We appreciate all the hard work of the authors who have been producing excellent content, and most of all, the 100’s of thousands of readers who visit every month.

I can see where that would be useful to have. I'll see what I can do.Jack Cole

KF, Agreed on all points - especially about the background color. This new look is going to take some getting used to, but I think we'll all be fine in time. I understand that this may not be the finished product, so extra patience will have to be our practice for a while. Things I like so far - recent comments are tied to the actual OPs, so we know exactly where they are contained. The "home" link is a little more accessible.CannuckianYankee

Pardon another small point: I much prefer if the title to a blog post is hot-linked to the post URL, too. Of course that is not always possible.kairosfocus

F/N: Pardon, I have long had experience of dealing with sites where comments are not numbered. The experience is that numbers are far more helpful to make reference, especially when there are long threads,a s is common at UD. If you can do the threading and give as well numbering? Is that possible?kairosfocus

JC: Interesting tryout. Could you soften the background colour, though? Generally a moderate teal or some other greyish blue-green is much easier on the eyes. White is rather harsh for a screen. Thanks GEM of TKI PS: Kindly label the preview as such, I just caught myself trying to type in it.kairosfocus

Hey Jack, Thanks for the warning. No, seriously, I think it's time for UD to have a new look and new features.CannuckianYankee
