The new site and forums look great, but does anyone else hate the new look of the Codex? I have to scroll for 5 hours to get to the bottom of the page because it’s so narrow.

I mean, I don’t run 800×600 for a reason. I liked it before how the content was full width on my 1600×1200 desktop. 🙁

Psst! If you can get to your preferences, you can change the skin to Monobook (the previous default layout).

Ah, okay, sweet, you can change it.

Now I just still need to get my password reset or whatever… :/

I’m just glad us Safari users can finally click on poster’s profiles in the support forum now.

You can directly access your preferences (and change the skin to “MonoBook”) via this URL:

macmanx, is that url for everyone? Or just a select few?

That URL is for everyone who has registered a user account with the Codex. You can login or register for a new account via this URL:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Special:Userlogin

And then change you preferences via this URL:

Sorry guys, the Codex is messed up right now. It’ll be better tomorrow.

At least it’s integrated (layout-wise) with the main site, which is a big step forward.

I do not hate the new Codex and Forum but
honestly both are terribly bad and far, far away
from the WordPress excelence.

I’d say that the links are more difficult to read — that is, to scan through.

Well, like Matt said – they’re still working on it. Hopefully it will be must easier on the eyes and much easier to navigate tomorrow 🙂
