Ahh, Refreshing

We performed a little refresh of the user interface today. Everything should be in the same place as you found it before, but you will notice a few tweaks here and there that help clean up the site.

Most notably, the page header has changed and opened up a little. Along the left side at the very top, you will find application-related links: your school’s home page, the teacher list, and search. Along the right-hand side of the navigation bar will be links relative to your identity. Teachers will see a link to their control panel, students will see a link to My Homework, and so on.

We also obliterated those confining, useless border lines along the left and right of the page. We found that the page content holds itself together quite nicely without the need for a containing border.

Users on Internet Explorer 6, all 14% of you, probably noticed that the old site had some issues with the page footer and such. All that is fixed now.

As with any improvement, there will be problems. Please be sure to report any problems you see in this new interface.
