  1. 1. Should we stick with small fonts defined?

    • Yes - leave it at 10 pixel
      11
    • No - let people define their own text size in their browser

Here's a couple of questions:

 

Should we stick with small fonts defined on the site? Vote on POLL

Do you like the aqua/blue on black color scheme? Or would you rather see some different colors?

Should the site expand to all widths? Or should it be optimized for 1024x768 resolution? 800x600?

Do you want some new graphics?

I pretty much like the site as it is with one exception:

Menu items at the top (like Home | Downloads) should also be visible on the sidebar on the left.

 

(I do really like the color scheme)

 

Oh one other thing... I would like to see more emoticons! :)

Put an overpowered Solar Ionization Reactor in between two cheap-ass engines and a couple of laser cannon, put a chair with a rudimentary flight control and targeting computer on top, and surround the (unpressurized!) pilot with enough armor plate so he doesn't fry in a tenth of a second... riiiiiiiiight

Get me some :)

 

As to the links, its something I am trying to work on. Navigation is a key issue I want to fix. While there is no Home button on the sidebar, there are the other links. Right now, its in a different order.

 

Navigation issues - please post on that thread

I think you should be able to set you're own color schemen Like Main color, Black, Seccondary color Green.

 

Should the site expand to all widths?

 

Yes!

 

Do you want some new graphics?

 

OOooo, Yes... new top Bar/banner.

We could always make some of our own. Who's with me?

 

I don't really like the color scheme. Black works well as a background, but blue clashes a bit with aqua, methinks (although I've gotten pretty much used to it now). Perhaps grey instead of blue?

I quite like the graphics even if it would be nice for the site to change and put on a little moderner look.

Please do not change the resolution of the site.

I have a crappy graphic card and my PC doesn't work well with a resolution bigger than 800x600.

Maybe we could have a kind of competition where people could propose banners. The best would be used for the top of the page.

How else do you propose? Maybe some kind of cookie thing where only the main body text changes? (and you'd click to select text size) I'd love that hehe :).

Well aside from the obvious more colors would need more work, I think all the regulars here are used to the aqua/blue (as am I lol). The question I'd like you other folks to answer as well would be..

 

Are you used to the scheme? If you are not, is it good?

 

When we remake, should we choose to keep this scheme, should it be the default?

 

Should the site expand to all widths? Or should it be optimized for 1024x768 resolution? 800x600?

I like it expanding the way it is now.. hehe.. but we can have some kind of minimum size like 800x600.. Minimal size is probably up to the graphics designer if he wants to make several designs I'm all for it :).

Do you want some new graphics?

 

Yeahh :)

WHATCH OUT with those emoticons! Most of them might be licensed!!!

 

Hmm.. good idea.. how would we check? I wouldn't put them in the default emoticons list either (only if you hit "View more emoticons")

Well, depends where you got the emoticones from. If they came from Smileys Xtra (the firefox plug) the site of the project says where all the emoticones came from.

The font i believe is fine as it is.

 

As for adding more emoticons, i would be against this as they can easily end up overpowering a thread if used too much. There is also the issue of longer load times for dial-up users.

 

One gripe i do have is that the definition between post and signature needs to be clearer. At present some peoples sigs look like they are part of the reply.

 

AS for the site colors, i beleive that the black background is good but the definition of the white text can be very harsh on users eyes. One thing i have done is to change the white text to an off-white of light grey. For examples of backgrounds to text please find this link> http://queen.rett.polimi.it/~ant/webutils/140colors.html

 

Other than this i do like the site http://www.diplomats-empire.com/forum/images/smiles/drink1.gif

Well phpBB itself automatically adds the divider for sigs

Ok you need to open the 'Viewtopic.php' file and search for this line: -

 

 $user_sig = '_________________<br />' . str_replace("\n", "\n<br />\n", $user_sig); 

 

Replace the _________________ with something else or just increase the size of it to make it clearer. If you add the < br > (no spaces) tag in front of it you should be able to add another line too.

 

Hope that helps. Any php questions just pm me :) On my fifth forum creation now :!:

Well, anyone got any other suggestions for new graphics? I went through the EZboard archives yesterday and thought maybe we can have little star wars icons (heads?) next to our names.. for example Thrawn would have a little blue guy next to his name.

 

Also, maybe we can offer some more avatars? Shrunk down pics from Rebellion Reloaded would be appropriate, don't you think (since it is after all ours and nobody's gonna sue us for that :P)?
