The top box doesn't work properly in IE at a resolution of 800x600. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. This is very much under construction. =) --Imp 22:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, the Search box in IE7 at 1024 x 768 resolution. Just letting you know. 23:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I too have a problem with it. The upper and left borders of the input box seem to be 2 pixels wide as opposed to the "Go" button whose border is 2 pixels wide to the lower and right (This could maybe be solved by modifying some .css pages). --Imp 23:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks great Imp. --Eyrezer 01:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good with Firefox, Nice job. Greyman 17:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The featured article is seriously confined to four or five words a line while the news and stuff is massive. I'm using Safari and it looks very disproportionate (i cant spell that word) The Ravager 18:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, same problem here. I'm also using Safari...and the FA is really small. Darth Fett 13:43, 22 Februrary 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism already??

 * Well, by now, everyone should know where to find it. Plus, the votes should be closing soon. For future references, it's WP:CtE and WP:LtE, I think. 18:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I dislike the elimination of the direct links
Since I don't have an account, I guess this is the spot to comment on the main page beta.

The problem I have with this beta design for the main page is the elimination of the direct links to the movies and EU topics. I know that one of the purposes for the beta was to streamline the main page and make it appear more similar to other Wikipedia pages. Yet, in doing so, it has limited the ability to casually and easily surf Wookiepedia, and access general information. I found the direct links to the movies and various EU subjects on the main page to be extremely useful to bring up information quickly, as well as to simply browse all around the site. Sure, the News and "On This Day" features can provide interesting tid-bits, but as I've stated, it is eliminating extremely helpful quick links to - what I would imagine - are highly visited pages and topics.

If this beta does become the permanent main page than perhaps the removed direct links could be worked into the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the page. Add links to pages with titles similar to "Episodes I-VI", "Expanded Universe", "Eras". Then on the appropriate pages the information that used to be displayed on main page could be listed.
