I have not started hard testing it but nice design in general. Should be bugs
for webpage now posted like other bug reports ? Looks like compexity of
www.povray.org increased a little. Any chance for povray.www group for topics
related with www.povray.org and all pages related with povray ?
15% of binaries. List of known bugs looks too shortly. I can't find my
"bounding of sphere sweep" which was refused to fix. I have it check where it
should be then :-)
I've started registration.

If there are problems you find on the site, post here; but no feature
requests, please. We have more plans and other features for povray.org are
currently in development but it will take time like all good things :-)
As for the new site, most of the design is by Chris Colefax, most of the
HTML and the scripts have been written by me, and most of the content and
server-side setup are by Chris Cason.

Then try again in a few minutes or an hour or so. As you can imagine, it is
very busy at times like this ;-)

It does seem slow, but I have a feeling it might be a little busy at the
moment....

A few notes about new site. It is very nice but... Some of below points can be
considered as feature requests - if it bother then just ignore them (I started
this list before Thorsten's anmswer).
1. Can't find any link on the site like web### [at] povrayorg. It's usually
public. Was this intentional ?
2. In the list of countris in community section number of povers in each
country could be displayed directly with name of country instead of on embeded
page to decrease number of generated pages. Sorting according to number of
povers in country could be possible.
3. The description under Moray icon on main page is not very well readable.
Moreover description says Moray works with POV-Ray 3.x while on its homepage
Moray says only about POV-Ray 3.1 (I know that some peaople work with 3.5 but
seems it is unofficial solution, right?)
4. On the Source Code section of Download page there is note that 3.5 was
released on 8 july while I suppose it was on 9 July (since there was break on
web page working and timestamp of binaries on ftp server point to that)
5. There is only one search for whole site. Search for links has gone. Search
for news fortunatelly is separated on news.povray.org but parhaps it will be
joined with main site. Any chance for advanced search with additional
checkboxes where search should be performed ?
6. There is gallery expected. Any plans for object/macro/scene/texture/etc..
repository asked a few days ago by somebody ?
7. Search field and Search button have different height under IE 5 and 5.5
than under IE 6 - in result text is a little cuted at bottom.
8. Please consider site map since some pages are linked only once and if
number of features/pages increase it will be hard to find anything without
performing search. It is already hard to find links on the pages since dark
blue link is not very different than black text when hover feature is used
instead of traditional underlining.
9. I wonder if additionaly POVLEGAL could be linked with
http://www.povray.org/copyright.html
10. Documentation section says that documentation can be downloaded via
Download section but there is only one 'documentation' word on downloading
page - in windows section - does it mean only windows version has
documentation ?
11. Known bugs list missed my following reports (verified with final release)
a) sphere_sweep crash
http://news.povray.org/g18bguoigilpr5cc14lirhkg7828b49aes%404ax.com
b) all components of normal are optional but aren't
http://news.povray.org/4jqqhucskeips1ep0aas9c83hucdjm5qpu%404ax.com
c) wrong sphere_sweep bounding
http://news.povray.org/2g0dcu8kasg84pqde8hdq9d60nkoa1cvka%404ax.com
d) problem with logical operator
http://news.povray.org/katjhuogjhjptv6nv1dh7rnb11ool6mrs8%404ax.com
I hope I wasn't too detailed.

Uhmpff, hey, ABX don't you ever stop :)
Give _The Team_ some rest, a moment to catch their breath. They've been
working hard. Let them sit back and enjoy for a while, watching the
download counters go sky-high. They deserve it.

12. Non standard characters used in more info during registration gets
additional '\' character during later display. You can check it on Christoph
Hormann info. Similiar behaviour was already noted for news wwwgate in
http://news.povray.org/povray.general/25215/
13. URLs on user info pages could be displayed as links. Since AFAIK
www.povray.org use PHP I assume it could be automatically verified during
registration if they are really links.

I will answer anyway to those of which I know more yet. I will not say
anything about those I have nothing to say/know about.

Right now intentional, but this will eventually be updated.

I know. We are using mySQL as database, and unfortunately it doe not
support subselects. Performing a separate request via the script for each
country would add too much load, so until mySQL finally gains subselect
capability or I manage to invent another quick way of collecting these
statistics (I have a few workarounds like updating the numbers only once per
day) there won't be any.

It depends on which timezone you are in.

Yes, those are planned for the near future.

Plans, yes, time not yet.

Yes, we are using the Content Scrambling System aka CSS for most of the
layout, so it may be a tiny bit different on some browsers. The goal was to
have it work with all browsers such that it is readable, not for maximum
beauty when viewed with every possible browser, which would be an impossible
to achieve goal :-(

Consider to adjust you monitor gamma correction to normal levels, please.

The documentation in different formats will follow in a few days/hours, so
we left that note there.

At the moment, these bugs are considered not verified or are not bugs at
all. There have been no unplanned source code changes for a few days prior
to the final release, so everything since then has not been looked at and I
do not know when/if the list will be updated.
