Comments to Site new design

black text on white background ftw, was a trip out at first and will take some
getting used to but all round rad. oh and nice work on getting pm's cranking
eztv fkn owns.

love the redesign but i miss the old color scheme
this pale yellow makes it look very dull

i think it's pretty nice. didn't like the dark/black one used earlier.

i think the forum posts need a divider where i have put the red line

hrmmm. not a fan. too much contrast - very hard on the eyes.

also - post# text overlapping top of username pm button when replying to a
post.

why make those sort of links look like tabs, btw ? peculiar and non-intuitive
choice.

on the subject of `tabs` ... why make the main navigation tab row obey
followed link colour rules ? another odd choice.

also - topic title in thread view ... white on pale baby blue ? really ?

also - mouseover highlighting still doesn't work in ie and variants. this is
not related to the new design - it's never worked. just thought i'd mention
it while i'm here 😉

this is a more urgent issue now that there's no alternate line colouration.

i like it! i also expect that this is a work in progress. i think that overall
this looks kinda like ubuntu meets mac. feisty tiger? dig the beige and can't
wait to see the rest of baby blue gone! i like the tabbed look but, i also like
windowblinds... sure there's still some spacing and overlapping issues but,
they'll probably hammer those out in time.


stupidity should hurt, so pass the vicodin.

howdy everyone. i thought i'd step in here and just mention that the current
design was a style i was experimenting with in the 'my page' section before the
styles were disabled. i'll address a few points.

1. tabs mess up at the top and go over to the next line.

this was a problem i had with the original design. i could only give each button
the same width as they were all under the same class, and the image used is a
background-image, which can't be stretched to fit. basically, any smaller and
the tab got cut off early.

the reason some of the links are also tabs, is because they are using the same
class in css, there was nothing i could do about that and i'd spoke to boggi
about changing some of the link class names but i think i remember him saying
something along the lines of being pretty busy and would have a look into it at
a later date.

2. colours/contrast is hurting my eyes
i agree. the colour scheme wasn't something i was working on when i stopped
working on it, i pretty much spent my time on the tabs.

3. why make tabs follow link colour rules?
the design took inspiration from firefox's tabs, something i was messing with
before i decided to implement it into an eztv css style, i couldn't (without
hard-coding something into the actual design of eztv) implement a way to give
the feel of a selected tab over a tab in the background (so to speak), that was
the best i could come up with, with css only.

4. tv news navigation tabs move onto a new line
same as above. the tv links second-row navigation uses the same link class names
as the main navigation.

i'd be happy to work with the design a little when i have more time, i honestly
had no idea it was being used on the site as the main design or i would've
worked harder and ironed out all of the little things talked about here.

it's definitely too white and bright. that's why my wallpaper is always dark
and definitely not bright.

and the gree row looks totally out of place.

theres a couple of elements that dont have the new style stuff applied to em,
like this create new post page actually. heh.
saw this style earlier though at the same time i did mine, like the menu tabs at
the top.
also: any reason i cant use the style i created anymore ? it hasnt worked for
over a week now i think ☹️

kinda bright, a lot of white

i really like the design of the site. the tabs look and feel great to look at
work with but the color scheme really needs some work done to it...

i like the color very much. and i am sure i will love this just the same as the
old design as i get used to it.

the only thing i don't like is how the name of the poster is placed like a
button that looks exactly the same as the reply and quote button. however i do
appreciate the practicality of it, now that the site has a pm system. great job
on that!

oh.. and the logo is kick-ass!

i've played with the design and tried to spruce it up a little, adressing most
of the points made here. i think it looks alot better than it did a few hours
ago, there's just a few little things that are difficult to change without
individual class names.

wow that was quick! top page tabs are fine. separator fade effect is nice and
cleanly separates posts. the grey-fade is nice, way better than the blue. the
font is perfect. but wow that was quick, specially with the tab problem in the
way. what's next, avatars? lol!

good work - the changes seem to be coming along nicely, and are definitely
improving matters.

i'll hold off on further comment till you've had some more breathing space -
it's completely unfair to break your balls over a design you had no idea was
going to be rolled out in a half finished state and without crucial access to
underlying site architecture 😉
