New Site

[mag36]

I have changed the size of the user names so I hope that helps along with the color at the top of the posts.

As for that boarder I think it will end up looking strange once you understand what that section really is (from a programing perspective)

Christmas was referring to the thing with the holes preventing people from being able to read the bottom section correctly:

your the boss but i do think if you drop the color scale a tad there in will make the treads pop out more but if it doesnt look right for other pages then mehhh whatever
hue: 160 red:23
sat: 0 blue: 23
lum: 22 gren: 23
was the color scale of what i did in paint

and far as the checkerd backgrond i like that i would just mess with the text instead


if possible i would go with a liittle darker blue tint or somethign with the threads being read and not read
They are grey if all the post been looked at and slight blue if they havent but its really hard to tell between the two colors so if you could darken that blue a bit too


Well they do have diffent images now that i think about it but looking at the site on my smart phone with a small screen the color being a little darker would help.....

lol ok im done nit picking now i think that covers everything for me for now

after you get things with the forums looking how you want, we should think about doing something with the main page. it's got nothing but old useless info on it and hasn't been updated in like 2 years. makes us look inactive even though we're not.

the old main page was fine. we just needed some updates for it. the new one is ugly and cluttered.

lol i can tell zero is having trouble with my suggestion on having the post slighty diffent color then the solid background if tis to much trouble, i wouldnt worry about it zero

he got it!!

Ok got the background done. Yea the new main page is going to change a lot. In fact I am not even going to be using this theme for the main pages. It will be similar but with inverted colors. The layout is temporary until I am done with working on the forums, besides I can not have it that cluttered and then still try to fit ads in.

As for the icons they need major work, it is way to hard to tell the difference. These changes are not easy to make so it will take some time and there are a lot of these icons. I planned on replacing them from the second I saw them.

alright zero. Im just throwing out ideas on the overall site. I know how make changes can be difficult with a new program

But im really starting to dig the posts and threads overall look now
So much more eye pleasing

Yea like I said it is going to take a few weeks to get everything changed how we want but hey that is the great thing. We are getting a fresh start with a larger community so we can get more input on how you all want the site to look!

Also what do you guys think about this to replace the current background texture:

what you talking about the new main page is the same as the old. it just looks diff. the old main page was filled with the same useless old outdated info as this 1 is now. I don't care how it looks, I'm saying we should do something more productive with the main page... either start updating it with info on a regular basis or find something diff 2 do on it.
