Yeah.

The design is done already, but the builds installing takes a lot of time.
But I do it all in my spare time, sometimes in the evening, but most in the weekend.
If you see the changelog on the new site I am keeping track on what I do.
Usually I do 3 windows releases a day (Which consists of 9 SKU's each for Windows 7).

(I did not have time to do, Windows 7, 7229 and 7232, Windows Server 2008 7201, 7229).

But the server 2008 are done, now the other older versions are yet to come.

But trust me, it is coming, and you will love the new design.

Yeah thanks Windows OCManage, linking to other peoples PRIVATE beta stuff.
Really thanks [censored] [censored] [censored].

Gees, I was really thinking of deleting the WHOLE stuff now, I am doing this for free, nobody else is doing this for free.
The next time I am going to help somebody I am gonna think twice -> 1 Yes -> 2 NO!.


EDIT:
This is not meant as a flame post, but this is kindda my ''live's work'', So I hope everyone can understand my feelings about this.

EDIT2:
WOCM has removed the link, thanks for that.

In Firefox and Internet Explorer it works the best.
Chrome/Safari/Opera I do not know.

Also if you have an screen resolution of lower then 1280x1024 it does not work correctly.
Also if you have an wide screen resolution then it does work correctly, only the forum and screenshot gallery look out of place.
For some reason firefox does not work correctly with 100% width and height, so I am using a pixel based setting.

But the best view is in the released firefox and Internet Explorer on 1280x1024.

How come?
It works perfect here and by many others also confirmed.
(Can it be the browsers that you use?)

If you use a alpha/beta/rc browser, it can sometimes render not properly and sometimes not at all.
That is the risk of such browsers.

It is really awesome that you are taking the time to make sure that the site works well with so many browsers. There seem to be plenty of web developers who *as a paid developer* can't make their site render well in more than one or two browsers.

It is not actually target at a specific browers, only IE and Firefox.
But most other browers use the engine of firefox or similar.
As long as it supports php and javascript, you are fine.

That is what ''paid developers'' do not say to you.

If the build is available on BetaArchive I will document it.

This website is more a website of builds in the public domain and which I have in my collection.
So if you can, please upload the build.
