ewemoa:
Nice effect with the result of clicking on "Read more..." for "May we recommend...".

It's true that some (2?) of the lines at the bottom are faded to indicate there might be more, but perhaps it'd be nicer to see the "Read more..." text without having to hover first.

How does that seem?

Yes that would be better..   I had a hard enough time getting it to work as well as it does but I will try to improve it..

Was trying to use "open link in new tab" functionality in a browser for submenu items (of the menu along the top).  Noticed that when the pointer moved to the context menu (and hence off of the submenu), that the menu containing the submenu disappears.  Subsequently, choosing "open link in new tab" seems to work, but felt slightly disoriented.
Does this explanation make sense?

yes.. maybe we can try to improve the menu system before we go live.

Btw I had pretty good luck with this free website spider/sitemap maker to get a list of all donationcoder urls to check for redirects:

So here's a question.. The plan plan is/was to physically move servers when the new cms was ready, allowing us to start with a nice clean install of the new site, without any of the old files.

And we are definitely going to move to a new clean managed server.  So the original plan is to install the new cms on the new server, test it there in private, and then shift the domain to the new server.


But since the new cms is just about ready, I wonder if there would be a benefit to putting the new joomla-based cms in place on the current server (moving the old files temporarily out of the way) until we are ready to move physical servers.
It would have the advantage of being easier to undo if we run into trouble, and perhaps reduce the number of things that can go simultaneously wrong..

Are there drawbacks/dangers that I am not considering?
