Need Opinions on New Look - Need Replies!
« on: December 13, 2001 - 07:18:17 AM »
so as some of you have probably noticed the site has a homepage (kinda) and a new banner for inside the forum.  My friend who is doing most of the work and I have some slight creative differences on how it should be designed, so I thought Id get your opinions.

What do you guys think of having the navigation bar on the forum page as opposed to just having it on the home page?  clearly there arent many links now, but as the site grows, that nav bar will grow.

how many are running 800x600 res?  id like to add a few more pictures to the banner since on my 1024x768 there is a lot of space to do so, but he thinks that it might look cluttered for anyone running 800x600.  

any other general comments on what youd like to see for the design?  nows the time to let me know.

I *wish* I was running 1152x864, but it tends to wear out monitors that don't have enough umph in the megahertz.  ;D

I run 1024x786.  If the
[/size]icon names[/size] or [/size]icon pictures[/size] are too small, I just adjust 'em under [/size]Control Panel-> Display-> Appearance[/size] and [/size]Control Panel-> Display-> Effects,[/size] respectively.

So, I guess, with me you can be spacey! ;)

Ross, about 60% of users run 800x600. Only about 25% of users go higher than that. I have built all of my sites to run at 800x600. It's a personal choice type of deal, I just like to go with the majority.
When that nav bar grows it's just going to push the forum further down the page  :-/ Maybe you could build a seperate nav bar for the forum part of the site to make it conform better with the board??

That's just my 2 cents. Not complaining or anything ;D

ive got some new plans for the nav bar that will use some dhtml pop up menus.  ill leave it for now until i get more content, but its not going to push the forum down any further then it is now.
