    If you were doing it, what images would you put in place instead of the current ones on the home page : www.boards.ie/new.php

    that looks really cool, well done!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Johnny_the_fox


    very nice ... :)

    only problem is the grey colour used on the links you have clicked on... <see attachment> - hard to see


    any chance of seeing the same design in blue - like the present blue colour ...?

    Aye the page itself is pretty cool, whoever is working on it is doing a good job. I dunno if this is the place to suggest changes to it hough. I think there might be a thread on feedback suggestion s somewhere.

    According to Dev, the main screen is still going to get a lot more work done to it. There's going to be a feedback thread closer to it's completion date too.

    Slightly off-topic, but anwyay, some general things about the page in genreal:

    - The lime-green colour looks out of place and the holes don't add anything to the page.
    - The thread list needs to be made bigger.
    - when I sign in, I want my password promt to go away.
    - there's too much "white space". Rather than having a few large blank patches, there should be more smaller ones, spacing things out a bit more.
    - I have no interest in skaters, ostriches, black babies nor mice.
    - why not just have the "logout" button where the "login" button was - i.e. the login button disappears when you log in.
    - A people that interested in people's journals that they have to be on the front page?

    I'll post the things I like about it next :)


    Image-wise. Hmm.
    Perhaps something with an Irish link?
    Dev's chessy (almost gay) grin from the Irish Times article?
    Hey! have the Boards Guys been sacked or what?! Get them on there!

    personally, I think this button belongs on every website

    :ninja:

    I like it, but it's still in development, I think some new images need to be put in to replace the generic ones, but I presume that's already in the works.

    i agree bout the holes but i kinda like the green, it needs to be used more though instead of having it on its own there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    Not bad nice and modern looking. A few things though

    - Recent posts definately does need to be bigger, maybe resize or get rid of events post-its

    - The colours scheme is nice. The green could be used a little more though

    -The holes are links I take it, but how do we know what theyre for without waiting for the alt text. Theyre a little pointless at the moment.

    - My browser is loading it with a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom that moves literally a fraction of a centimetre. May just be my browser but its kinda annoying.

    - The user name and pass should change to "Welcome [Enter user name here]" once a user is logged in.

    Just my 2 cents. Overall it looks great just a couple of little things.

    Ohhh yes and down with the skateboard

    It doesn't look as bad as that on Firebird for some reason.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,154 ✭✭✭Oriel


    Lol, PrecariousNuts, you should charge for that pressional service.

    (you forget the "B+ Try harder next time" by the way...)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    very nice work, few things i think would make it better though, the lime green and the blue scroll bars look kind outta place, so maybea colour change and also i think the layout needs work, ie. more centralised and symetric, but other than that, its great:)

    edit: n'mind the scroll bars, i was looking at pn's xp image :o

    Large banners of fine looking men across the top would be nice with a link to the Gay and lesbian Board :)
