Also at this page there is a small spelling mistake. Instead of SKD it should have been SDK

Thanks, fixed :)

Minor things, but:

The top level devnet page has a wider horizontal margin than the other pages. Compare the position of the Qt logo on http://developer.qt.nokia.com/ and http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums
Probably already on the schedule for opening the site to the public, but it would be nice to have a link back for Nokia/QDF controlled pages like the SDK download.

That's on purpose. The top level page has a fixed width, while the other ones are flexible.

Umm.... we have the Qt Home link on the top. What else is it that you're after?

The link to “where you take the exam” search page is buried a bit low. This is the first thing I look for when I’m trying to work out if a course is reasonable.
I am not quite sure if I understand you correctly here. Can you give me a URL to the site where you were looking for the exam?

On the entry point "here()":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/, the link says "Learn more and find a test centre near you.". When you click it you get here: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/learning/certification. I would have expected to be able to find a direct link to where courses are held on this page.

A bit more feedback. When I posted this, it didn't give me the option to preview - not essential, but a "nice to have".

Also many forums allow user to attach some text files (say some debug logs or code snippet). I didn't find any option to do so here.

Ah, now I get the point of the link. Fair enough. I'll take a second look at it.

And yes, I want a preview button too. Perfectionists at work...
I am however not a big fan of attachments in forums. Uploading/pasting somewhere and linking to the file appears "cleaner" to me.

Thoughts?

They don't stand the test of time.

If I upload to a pastebin and link to it, the content on the pastebin will be gone within a week or a month. If someone wants to see what I uploaded 2 months later they're out of look.

Good point. Hm. We have to think about it. Task tracked.

May be you can have some minimum number of posts required to allow someone to upload an attachment. This could help filter spammers.

Personally I like attachments on forums - right near where the problem you're addressing lies. However I don't see them as "essential".

From a site admin point of view though you do need to consider a virus check on upload, including of the contents of compressed files/zips
