It does show where you've been. It's just a subtle effect in that regard, and shows differently if you are on IE. The style of underline on the mouse-over is dotted if you've already visited a link (on IE it's dashed and shows up even without the mouse-over). Also for external links, the ones that take you out of the site, the underline is the orange color instead of gray. Stuff I wasn't planning on getting feedback on... But I'll take it :-)
[Logo bar] On my screen I'd like to see the "C++ Libraries" and the general quote stand out more. The sharp area of the image draws too much attention and takes you eye away from the Boost logo.
I'll try and improve the visibility of the "c++ libraries part". Not sure about the quote, it's not easy to bring it out more without making it a distraction.
[main body] It might be nice to surround the page with a little white border perhaps, especially for the main body text. Perhaps aligned with the indented 'welcome' tab. - this is 'worse' on the 'Libraries' page as with my screen width there is a large gap between the 'term' and the 'definition' which if the left edge was indented would be smaller.
Ah, border, long trail of feedback on that from the past :-) If it's just the libraries page that looks off, I'd rather fix that than mess with adding borders. There's a strong aversion to borders for many people and I'm already pushing it with the sidebar.
[footer] should it not have the same styling as the top with a little white surrounding it?
Can't think of a good reason why it has to be the same. Being different it doesn't impart as much significance as the header.
I find it odd that the footer changes size depending on the main body content, it gets quite large on some of the more empty pages.
It's not really changing sizes :-)
It also makes it jump off screen when showing the 'index' tab for instance - minor.
Not sure what you mean by "jump off screen".
[index tab]
This page is just all messed up
It is, and we can leave it at that. It's going to get fixed just hadn't gotten around to it yet. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
