Yeah, I have to agree with dillinger.  It's a cool idea, but it really doesn't work as well as the previous format.  I imagine quite a lot of work went into it though.  I looked at it in Opera, and the appearance is OK, but still too wide for 1024*768.

In my opinion, the previous layout of aminet was one of the most user friendly sight I have used.  I think all amigans love it.

edit- One can use 'fit to window width' on Opera, which works well for this.  Displaying the page in 'user mode' also works, and allows one to choose text/background colours.

They have done a nice job with that one. However they have also annoyed me by saying

"but all Amiga users use WinUAE anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. If you for some weird reason are still using a real Amiga "

 "If you for some weird reason are still using a real Amiga"... :-/
 I will keep my silence about this. No need to start a flamewar, it will not offer anything.
 Anyway, aminet was never so good before but i wonder what he was thinking when he wrote this.

just found out the site looks as usual if you use AWeb. The new "joke" interface is shown only if you use non-amiga browers, heh heh :-)

:lol:

you guys are cracking me up.

I thought it was a great joke.

Although I had to use my pc and Netscape to get the full effect (didn't bother trying IE), I thought the OS 1.3 theme was kind of cool. ;-)
