      Using default theme on 2.3.b.20160227.1146

      UI CONSISTENCY

      System / General Setup

      • [DNS Server Settings] // DNS IP input labels should match "Services / DHCP Server / LAN [Servers]"
      • [DNS Server Settings] DNS Server 4 // Description should not refrence PPTP VPN since it's not supported.
      • [DNS Server Settings] DNS Server Override // Description should not refrence PPTP VPN since it's not supported.

      // Advanced options buttons vary in text, look, and hide/unhide capabilities

      • Firewall / Rules / Edit [Extra Options] Advanced options // Cannot hide once clicked like on "System / Routing / Gateways/ Edit [Edit Gateway] Advanced options"
      • Services / DHCP Server / <interface>[Other Options] Dynamic DNS // Different look and text

      Services / DNS Resolver / General Settings

      • [General DNS Resolver Options] DNS Query Forwarding // Add note from https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Unbound_DNS_Resolver: Forwarding mode is necessary for Multi-WAN configurations unless default gateway switching is enabled.

      SUGGESTIONS

      // Page will take a long time to load if update server does not reply quickly. It should load the page, then query update servers - same as in Status / Dashboard

      • System / Update
      • System / Package Manager

      // Align label elements with checkbox and plain divs
      [bootstrap.min.css:5 @(min-width:768px)]
      .form-horizontal .control-label

      • padding-top: 7px; // change to "padding-top: 0;"

      [pfSense.css:212]
      .form-horizontal .checkbox

      • padding: 3px 16px; // change to "padding: 0 16px;"

      BUGS

      // Adding an upstream gateway thorugh "Interfaces / <interface>[Static IPv4 Configuration] IPv4 Upstream gateway" does not perform the same input validation as in "System / Routing / Gateways / Edit"

      • Example: The gateway address 192.168.1.1 does not lie within one of the chosen interface's subnets.</interface></interface>

        i seem to remember something about the alignment issues:

        it depends on the browser type. If i'm not mistaken this was decided to be the middle ground that sort of looked "ok" with most major vendors.

          I hope it can still be improved, because it looks a bit silly to me using latest stable Firefox and Chrome.
