It's time to tell us what you think

New Site Design

I accept that only 85% has been migrated, and the rest is coming, but this is what I think of the new design in comparison with the old one

WOW, Awesome
Near perfection
Not perfect, but works for me
I'm happy enough with it
Marginally better than neutral
Marginally worse than neutral
I could do so much better myself
It's OK, I guess
Not much better than manure
Total crap

It's great. But one of the stories doesn't feel quite right  [message #15028 is a reply to message #15025] Sun, 21 September 2003 13:05 Go to previous messageGo to next message

“Something about you has changed, Danny.”

Jordan had made the journey back in double quick time, the tires of his car screeching as he left the car park of the Hampton Inn.

“Yeah, you look different too.”

The two boys contemplated their new appearance. It felt kinda strange. They had got so used to the way they looked before.

“Hang on, Jordy, I think I can fix this.”

Danny spun round and tapped a few keys on his computer keyboard.


“How does that look?” he grinned.

“You’re back to your old self now!” Jordan smiled as he recognized the friendly curves of the font he had grown to love so much.

“You will always be Comic Sans to me, Jordy.”

“I wonder if timmy will let us stay like this.”

“I dunno. Seems like he wants to standardize on the same stylesheet for all the stories.”

“Maybe if we ask him very nicely…?”

I don't think it is quite perfect, I'm a true perfectionist though, so despite not being able to come up with that good of a layout from scratch I'm sure there are still things that I'd find and want to change Razz

I think the site still has it's homely feel, while also having a more professional tone to it. I guess the stories will no longer have the user-dependent backgroung colour? Or maybe I'm just colour blind...

I hope the forums will match, soon, although I like this software more than the old version something along the lines of PHPBB would make me more comfortable.. Smile But PHPBB styles seem quite hard to do and I am starting to adjust to that bar up the top that never seems to go away....

Perhaps it'd be nice if users could define their own style sheet, to change between green, blue, purple, red and grey shades... Personally I think the same style, but in purples or blues would be prefered, but I never have liked green much Razz I don't know why... That's all from me though, overall it looks great!
