New Layout For Forum - What Do You Think?

Post by **racketboy** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 9:11 pm

I've matched the navigation of the board to the rest of the site better so you can jump around to different sections much easier.

I've also added some small text adds, to possibly add a little more pocket change to pay for the hosting bill.

Do you think the ads are ok? Did you even notice them?

i didn't notice the ads, unless you're talking about the google adds on the bottom left of the retro page (those have always been there, haven't they?)

just a little constructive criticism, i think the blue bar text for the forums (retro gaming, game rooms, etc) should be centered or possibly spread out (if you use nested tables and the main one is set to 100% width, the nested tables will spread out evenly). maybe if you capitalized the text or made it a bold font, it would also visually stand out more, and bring the page together a bit better... i think anyway

Well, some of the ads will just show up as blank boxes if Google can't figure out what ads to put up.
But there is one to the right of the topic title and one on the bottom.

They only are on the post pages, not on the main, category pages, or search, etc.

I'll play around a bit with the menus, but I know I kinda like the lowercase

Erm for some reason the text size has gone from a 0 to a -1. To read the text properly i have to increase my text size by one. This hinders my viewing of other sites then! Please fix this asap!

well that's weird -- that's what I use at home.
I'll tweak the CSS when I get home.

Keep me posted

I dunno 'bout you but the newbie/read first forum is locked for me. Guess that's why your the only poster there, Racket.
