new index layout

well I like the new style :smile:

I see style has been changed a little again :smile:

Starting to like it better now

Because its more similar to what it was before:)I suggest we keep going in this direction:)

lol

Well i wont move my thumb upwards yet lol :smile:
I think the concept is less clear and has less overview then before.
Plusses are the dream reminder cue witch is fun! :smile:

Maybe visual line harmonisation could give it more or a better balance.

Meaning i dont find it in balance yet. :wink:
But any change needs to sink in also so i wait a few days and judge it again then…lol

Jeff

I agree with Jeff. It makes everything feel more overcrowded than before. I really love the hozitional buttons like it was before it changed. But yes, I do like the RC button. :wink: Perhaps you can work something out. I think the nagivation buttons at the top like it was before is the best. I’m very used to it, but I guess I’ll wait and see. :cool:

I miss the "view new posts since last visit " at top right. If a link for this could be made at bottom of page with the “go to” drop list I would be happy. :wiske:

I go away for just over a day, and come back and the forum has changed.
I’m not still asleep, am I? :content:

Well, I like it more than the old layout (but I am viewing it high res). The reality check button is a great new feature :cool:

Perhaps it would be possible to make it a choice of the user, whether the user wants the new or some form of the old interface… it could be stored in the profile or a cookie perhaps…

thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

i too am not satisfied yet, i thought the left menu would look neat, but you are right, it isn’t yet in harmony (well put into words, jeff)

the new post thing has moved moogle, it is now at the top left. Or did you mean you don’t want it there, you want it back where it was :wink:

i’m putting all your suggestions into consideration.

DA you are right, i don’t want the forum just to look great in higher resolutions, but 800 x 600 also. 640 x 480 even. (in 640 x 480 the index screen must look horrible!)

You are right RF, i do have a vision for the entire site, but i don’t know how to go about it, it will be an amazing amount of work… and then it is finished and i will hear jack say: i liked the winged guy better than this nifty new navigation bar :cry:

I like it, everything is always on tops anyways, it works just fine for me, I’m used to change :content:

“… and then it is finished and i will hear jack say: i liked the winged guy better than this nifty new navigation bar cry”

ahh,hehe thats unfair:)I admit i talk about my tastes but i allways agree on the end to what the boss says:)

Anyways i thought about another thing…tho it might be silly or im missing the point here,but its the idea and ill share:)
You know how there are skins for browsers?Pasquale says its huge amount of time and work to make a new vision appear and i can imagine that.So i thought maybe instead we could get a skins?On the other hand its your place Pas and i think you rather have it your way(which so far was excellent and all improvements turned to be perfect),so i dont know.
Good luck and dont worry bout those wingers:)

jack :smile:

well, there are different templates and such for phpbb, but none i like.
And what i do is change the template actually, so it is quite easy to do.

For the forum alone, i mean.

for the rest of the site that is a whole different story.

the way it looks now. With the winged guy, and the mirrors and the navigation, etc, took me a year to complete. From scratch to the way it looks now.

I’m thinking of going xoops or phpnuke or portal software like that, and build the site around that. That would save a lot of work in the end.

One thing i know already, the new design will not have frames.

For the rest, it is still some sketches from my dream. It always takes me around a year to come from dream to reality :smile:

On the side…its amazing Pasquale.Im really impressed by your passion to it.I bet it must be taking a lot of time just to manage the site,not mentioning answering to our mumblings and such.
But thats why this site looks the way it looks-cuz you interested and passionate about dreams and lding.Additionally you have some wild computer skills cuz i hardly understood few words from the post above:)
I might be complimenting you a lot last days but its just joy from belonging to the site which is run by person so devoted to what she does:)
take care:)

thanks jack :flower:

xoops seems like a very great php portal from my experience… very configure able and easy to use. cant say i have had same luck with phpnuke though

. . . The wings could be gone? :sad: I hope you can somehow keep it available as an archive . . . or link to it from the new design. :smile:

I’m pretty sure ‘The way back machine’ has the site archived.

I remember seeing it a while back, none of the links work though, not for me anyway.

does search

Yup…here 'tis!
web.archive.org/web/*/ld4all.com

Enjoy!

wow, how cool is that?! the site is actually archived somewhere on the web.

amazing!

here is the even older version…

web.archive.org/web/*/https://www … le/mirror/

but the real antique one is not on there… let me see if i can find it on my HD

Yea, I really like using archive.org, but as you can see it has it’s quirks. Images and links missing.

I hope somewhere deep inside the new design is a link to the old design :wink: maybe something like an easter egg. :grin:
