Just a heads up to let you all know - depending on where you look, you may see the new design of the site on certain pages. I will slowly be getting the entire site changed over to the new look and I hope you all like it. It may take some getting used to but I think in the long run, you will all appreciate it much better.

 

And some pages/areas will be disappearing as they are no longer relevant from the past but some nice new error pages will redirect you in the right direction. Enjoy!

 

Also - the new design will be selectable soon on the Forum here once I get all the kinks worked out.

Mr Wolf the new design is fragging awesome, looking gooooooooood looking very goooooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Forum is now switched over to the new design. PLEASE let me know if something doesn't load or look right and what page you are on when that happens so I can get it fixed ASAP. I think I got everything but i can't be sure. Thanks and i hope you all enjoy the new look.

 

And for those who don't like it - well, you can still select the old style.

Looks good, Dave. At a glance, it does look like it will be easier to navigate.

One quible it doesnt show the control panel with new posts.

Correction:

 

It show the control panel in the forum thread list but not in the actual thread itself.

yeah, I had to remove the new posts panel within the actual thread as it was too cramped with the new design. It looks better without it and you can still click on the 'New Posts' link at the top of the page to go straight back to the list. A minor inconvenience but one you won't notice after awhile. Trust me - I've been running the new design on the forum for about a week now.

Cheers thanks for pointing it out for me, never noticed it before you're a trig cove an' no mistake about it.

 

 

Mean that in a nice way.

Looks a bit too squished into the centre on my browser (Mac OS 10.5.8, using both Firefox and Safari)... makes everything deeper which makes my scrolling finger tired! Do you want a screen shot?

Just on the main forum page or all of them? I am going to bump the width up just a bit, but I don't want to go much past a 1024 width - there are a bunch of ipads out there now! lol

Ok, I've tweaked the width about as much as I can and still have it look good. It may not seem like much, but it ended up adding an additional 75px to the content width. Hope that helps!

I'll just wait till its up and running.

Slick !

Seems much faster too - or is that just me! I like it.

It's not just you, it indeed seems faster. :cool:
