A-rev forum retouching

[eilsoe]

new look!


I'm currently redoing the layout on my forum, I just wanted ppl to check it, and give some feedback... just in general...

I still need a few buttons and stuff... the last details.. and figger out how to use flash buttons as menu buttons :-\


anyhoo, check it!

Looks nice, but I liked it better before :) I'm not too fond of the dark grey I guess.

[Jubba]

Thats sick :)

[eyeinfinitude]

Oh that is sweeeeeeet, I like this look more. It's much more vibrant and it sets your forum out from the rest. A lot of the forums I see these days look similar to each other with the same colors almost so what you've done here is great, good job. =)

And it is 100% 800x600 friendly!!!!!!!


Nice... smooth.... clean... easy to use..... FRIENDLY TO MY MONITOR!!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!


(in case anyone doesn't know... the last layout was for 1024x768 and it was a pain to scroll sideways just to even see threads :-\)

[eilsoe]

how I like it?

U mean IF I like?


Yeah it's oki.. easy to fizzle around in once you've gone thru A THOUSAND DOCUMENTS!!!


j/k :)

I was afraid of these forums before, but phpbb is actually easy to handle...

that new look rox! it would be better if it was a bit more brighter, but it looks way cool as it is :A+: :A+: :A+:

[Cynegenica]

Mate dont listen to em. I love it. :)

[eilsoe]

~HA! :P


good to know that ppl like the look! =)


I WILL however change the header... Seeing as flash can't cope with the href's I need, I'll have to go to good old imagemaps:sleep:

ok then.. new temp header, I'm gonna make a decent one tomorrow...

but imagemaps works, so the text menu HAD to go :sure:


finally...

[Makaveli]

i like the new look :love:
its more original than the last one so I :love: it

[eilsoe]

Just to recap: I will NOT make it brighter :)


Mostly because I'd have to redo all the icons. AND... I actually like the dark colors.. so.. it's final..! *grr* :P

I just need to change the header...


and the last few buttons...

[eilsoe]

[redViper]

yes yes, i like teh new header.
but im not a fan of that font ;(

[eilsoe]

I'll think up a new place to place the title once I finish my buttons...

[redViper]

Good because the color scheme ROCKS!!! Some of my favorite color combinations.


One thing though.... You should have maybe pixel font text under the buttons so people don't have to leave the mouse hovered for the alt tag to tell them what that button does.

[eilsoe]

lost: I tried that, actually right when I made the header, but it breaks up the whole symbiotic look of it all.. :-\


That's why I added icons instead, it SORTA tells what they do.. even so, after you've read the alt tags, you'll know... so...

[mjULTRA]

the three buttons at the very bottom do not appear to blend with the rest of the background. The circles appear to be inside little light grey boxes. Look for yourself, to make sure that im not just a hallucinating crack-head with carpel-tunnel...

[eilsoe]

hehe, that's because they are the icons for the section view :)

they run on a different background color. I'll remove the icons in a minute...


*edit* All gone...

[mjULTRA]

oh, and i almost forgot, that looks freagin awesome!! good job! :bounce:

[eilsoe]

ahh... :)


I like positive feedback :P
