Hi Ray,
One good place to get more personal info. about moodlers is to look up their profile description. Well, usually.

Hi David,

Yes it is. But why did you not say so (as well as posting the report)? Some humans understand natural language better than compuspeak.

Hi Jullian,
Many thanks for making version 2 of your Imagine theme available to the Moodle community.
Here are some preliminary remarks, based on your http://quantum.riverview.nsw.edu.au/course/view.php?id=82 course pages (very slow to download, by the way).

1. Your default font size is really tiny. In order to be able to read comfortably I have to increase text size by factor 2 in my browser (FF). But this may be due to my old age. Perhaps you decided on that tiny default font-size because you wanted to cram as much text as possible on your site pages.
2. When a resource is displayed within a Moodle frame, an ugly, unnecessary horizontal scrollbar appears in FireFox (2.0), not in MSIE 7.0 (see attached screenshot).
   
3. Being partially color blind (like most males), I can hardly see the little plus and minus icons to Show or Hide Block in the top right corner of blocks. This is a problem with backgrounds which are too dark: neither light nor dark foreground colors are visible. Maybe try to make your switch_plus.gif and switch_minus .gif icons plain white?
4. Other than those minor problems, I have downloaded Imagine2 to my local 1.8 Moodle site and it is working well with all the various pages and modules I have been able to test it with.

Thanks again,
Joseph

Exactly! Thanks, Howard for spelling this out. I've been working in Computer Assisted Language Learning for more than 20 years and I still do not believe at all in the promises of those QTI, Scorm and all other e-learning standards. More often than not standardization means impoverishement.

Bonjour Christian,

Dans un cours Moodle, ne pas confondre les thèmes (colonne centrale) et les blocs (colonnes de gauche et de droite).
