Yeah. MS office 2008 just came out, not only can it read .doc it can read .docx :D :P

Good to see it up, I think the background/text problem could be fixed easily with a nicer font, and just a lighter background like the one attached.
* The side panel could have the font a few points smaller
* Increase the spacing a little between the left sidepanel and the right main body so the text doesn't sit on the border
* Increase top/bottom spacing in top menu (i.e. home, notes, search etc.) between main header and main body, such that it doesn't sit like on border.
* Some pages, including the not logged in page, the login page, search page, have the search box broken in Internet Explorer, that is the image is seperated
* Table on Notes page could be made wider, not centered perhaps.
That's about it, hope it helps.

Yeah, i think that would be a great idea. Keep things cleaner and then pictures can be included.
What if a mod converts all the submitted docs/rtf's/whatever format files to pdf, and then uploads them with a "VCE Notes" header with the site URL etc. (Although this system would need to implemented fairly early)
Also then if students (teachers?) photocopied them, the url would stay on the notes and get a bit of publicity happening.

Not happening with the VCE Notes header. That's effectively a watermark. I can't ask that of my staff. They're unpaid and that system requires consistent obligation. Their current duties allow each of them to be slack and have other staff members pick up that slack at various times. Document viewers are much more freely downloaded by end users, and also, you can put images in Word Documents.
EDIT: Also just thinking about that... the individual retains the ownership of their documents. Whilst they can't delete them from the system themselves, any e-mail/PM requests to have them deleted are/will be honoured. Thus, putting a VCENotes watermark over them implies VCE Notes ownership which is not the case. :-/
@ abcat, I'm going to be implementing some of your suggestions. Thanks. :)

beh. I submitted pdfs! I hope that's okay... I don't really understand all this hi-tech mumbo jumbo.
