"Programmer Meet Designer" - Is it usable?
Moderator: General Moderators
Alright logo aside, I finished the messaging system today! Tell me what you think.
Oh and if you have some time, send me a test message so I know it's working properly (login, click Inbox, click "Compose Message". My username is kasrak)
And I apologize for the intervals of downtime. DreamHost has really been sucking lately. If it continues, I'll buy a cheap computer and run the site from my house for a while until a better alternative is found.
Thanks!

The speech bubble's are way to busy, in my humble opinion. Without them, the logo would be very nice and clear.
Another design consideration:
As the design is now, all areas have about the same visual weight and (lack of) contrast. While reading the black text on green background, my eyes are attracted to the white border around the area. Would it be an idea to get rid of the green box in the main content area and just use dark grey/black text on a white background? That would let the main area stand out more and direct the attention of a viewer to that main-content area. Which is a good thing, since that's the most important area, isn't it?
(sorry for not commenting the message system, i'll leave that to others)

Last night, I finished release 3 of the site. Tons of new features, including:
* Sexy new skin (at least I think so)
* Skill level — filter out the jobs that are too hard/easy for you
* Now when you accept an offer, you can still see all the other offers
* Email updates: you can have "us" email you everyone a new message gets delivered to your inbox
* Fixed tagging system
* Better (read: works now) RSS feeds
* Multi-search: search for people looking for designers and entrepreneurs (example) at the same time.
* User search: find other users on the site
* A lot of bug fixes
'Mark as Spam' is coming soon!

found a bug...
if you click on a tag in your tag once you log in, it takes you to http://programmermeetdesigner.comlisting/whatever
Should be
http://programmermeetdesigner.com/listing/whatever
Also... site looks a little too wordy. I'd break it up with some icons/images or something
