looks great! (Y)

But if you notice, the grid lines of the background are not completely aligned with the lines near the tables' borders.. but that's really negligible and unnoticable..

Looks great so far, but I have a few small points which might help:

  • That "Welcome back , you have XX new messages" text looks slightly out of place, just on a few lines of it's own. Two possible solutions are that you could put it next to where the 'Community, Help' links are. Or you could put it in the 'Site Menu, theme selection' column.
  • Two other small things. The left column could do with being a slightly lighter grey backround. Also, those blue bar images in the poll look out of place. They lack aqua. ;)

Sorry if that came out sounding all elite-ist. :shy:

What you've done so far is superb, and is much better than the sort of stuff I could do :D

Great lookin mockup, Goku... From the looks of the current start page, you're already alot of the way there, since the items are already in the same general layout, just less graphically enhanced.

If "Celebral" means me ( hehheh (Y) ) then I could probably take graphics and make them into that front page, working off what you already have set up, but I lack the creative talent to add to/modify that existing layout. My abilities lie solely in converting images into webpage form, not ideas to images.

Freakin' aaazum dood!

I think the new layout (with a few tweaks) will look a real treat (Y)

#42731

(Y) It rocks! and as Simon said:

"Welcome back , you have XX new messages" text looks slightly out of place

So as my english is not that good to explain I tweaked up your screen shot :shy: :

Look Here

Peace :D

@cerebral:

yes.. i got your name f up. Sowwy about it ;)

didnt know you dont deal with stuff i asked for, but oh well i appreciate your reply back.

@ziul:

GREAT change - like simon said, you moved the two extra sentences of ' "user" you have "x" messages' to the bar on top - with "my controls/log out" buttons - right on! good job.

-------------

to all, that of course was a rough sketch and i'm glad i could get all your professional input on it. Thank you very much!

please, if there are any other ideas, please let us know!

I'll link this to timmie :timmie: so he can see whats happneing.

thank you all :bow: :bow:

hey, i'd like to share with you what godpunk has had for the portal page. he posted it in a secret place however its better if we all could see it, NOW.

there it is:

Hey guys, just throwing out an idea here. I know there has been talk of a redesign of the frontpage, so I came up with the following:

prev1.jpg

Bigger

As you can probably tell, I stuck with the iTunes theme. The current top bar is an excellent navigational tool IMO, conserving space while providing sufficient navigation. So rather than trashing it, I figured I'd go with it, thus adding the lower section you see. I opened the concept site (it's a jpeg for now) in Safari so that you could get an idea of what it would look like in an actual browser.

The entire site fits in the window, no scrolling (at 1024x768). The idea is to display one news article at a time, logically the most current and newest info. All other recent articles would appear in the box at the immediate left, with the option to browse all archived news in a seperate pop-up window. Below the article box is a box featuring the latest forum posts, allowing easy access to the most current discussion. Obviously, we retain the link to the forum mainpage (at top).

Please let me know what you think. As I said, this is just an idea. I had time to kill, and thought I'd use the time to brainstorm and try to help out. Have a great day!

input anytime now - :timmie:
