Hold your horses! Of course it supports threaded comments!

I just forgot to activate it in WP demo

Hey Guys,
The comments on ‘Testing the elements’ by Jepson saying ‘This is another threaded comment’ shows the theme doesn’t support threaded comments means doesn’t shows like a sub or reply eh?

Yep, the video page is the real killer. It dies in FF3 & IE8. Funny thing is that when the video panel is up and loaded even the drop-down submenus are sluggish.

are you testing on our demo? It’s probably the video in second slider. The only difference in the code is the extra navigation beneath, but it’s the same loopedslider.js

Maybe on a quadcore, but my P4 test machine hits 100%.

In any case it’s certainly not as smooth as CoffeeBreak or your other themes. Is someone going to tweak the code ?

Its a bit choppy on my FF, but super smooth on IE and every other browser…

Hate to seem like a naysayer, but the slider is a massive CPU hog. Firefox hates it and even on IE the action is jerky. Even the dropdowns each lots of cycles.

What’s up with that ?

That would be very cool!

Great job with Delegate by the way. I will certainly be able to find a use for this theme.

I really like that there are links at the bottom of the slider so that you can go direct to pages or slide through them. I think that is great as it offers an alternative to coffee break. The more business themes the better and no body builds business themes as well as woothemes I believe.

While we are all giving suggestions I will throw a few in to the mix but I would not really change Delegate as its great but a perfect theme for me would be to take the attractiveness of Optimize (This is my favorite theme) and incorporate an inner page for a portfolio with the Delegate or Coffee Break Slider. If it was possible to still keep the Optimize lightbox images on the homepage though as I really like them to. So in other words Optimize with a portfolio slider as I think sliders are excellent for portfolios.

Thanks for the feedback!

- The call to action buttons are CSS3, which display a bit differently depending on which browser you use. I know chrome doesn’t look as good as FF, Safari.

- The slider is a bit choppy on my FF, but super smooth in IE, chrome and SAfari… think it’s down to your browser.

I’ll forward the other points to Cobus so he can look into improving the theme

Sorry, meant to write at the end “This is still prob my 2nd or 3rd FAVOURATE theme even if I sound bitchy, and Woothemes make all the best themes! ”

Been looking forward to this theme for a while and looks great, congrats.

Since you’re so cool with feedback, I’ll just mention a few observations:

- You seemed quite definite in earlier comments it would have a vCard, it doesn’t Would it be easy to for users to add themselves?

The address format at top right of this page seems a modern intuitive way to present contact details for a business site: http://www.headscape.co.uk/ – an address sectiondesign that blends in with a skype button would be nice.

- Photoshop work around the very edges of the call to action buttons could be polished up ever so slightly, but maybe it’s just my eyes if you can’t see that.

- I thought a big clear RSS logo on the blog pages you have maintained through previous themes was a nice touch.

- I love the light coloured text boxes in the blog by the way. I can’t decide if I like this more than coffee break.

- It’s true that the slider doesn’t see to run quite as smoothly as CB, but I image this can be amended at he back end?

- Just got to say, the design of your drop down menus have massively improved with last two business themes compared to coffee break. CB ones didn’t do justice to the amazing sleek design.

- There is a version that has mid yellow text on mid gray in the footer, and is completely illegible – would mean tweaking it in CSS, no probs for me but maybe would be for others that want something that works out of the box.

This is still prob my 2nd or third page theme even if I sound bitchy, and Woothemes make all the best themes

Great theme. Delegate can easily serve as the base for a really nice business website.
