Well, now that Mystikal and myself have gotten the design and most of the hacks installed and setup (and working correctly! ;)) I thought I'd see what you thought of it.

Accessing the Diablo or Warcraft Forums should switch the default Starcraft image in the header to switch to one related to that game, and we've done a few other little things with the forums as well.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

I'm not a fan of "really black" colored forums, but thats just me, I find it har on the eyes, but I do like the style and the graphics on the board, good job, well done.

I like the way the header changes look to ;)

[ehjay]

Well, I don't really prefer Black styles, but our members unanimously decided that they wanted it to be black. So it was. ;)

[Xenon]

wow, very nice style, one of the best i've ever seen

good work m8

PS. yes, i love dark skins, its easier to read at night ^^

[Sigon]

I am not a fan of the black styles either. I like the graphics. But there is something else I don't like that I cannot put my finger on. I think it has something to do with the text.

[ehjay]

What aspect of the text don't you like?

[ehjay]

hmm?

and btw, all game related forums (sc, wc, diablo) should have individual header images that will change upon access now.

[Sigon]

I do not like the iddy biddy text. Not one bit. But thats just me.

[ehjay]

what's iddy biddy?

[alextrebek]

AJ-

How can I get that template/style on my board? Any help is appreciated...amazing work on your forum!

[Sigon]

The description text. But oh well I shall get used to it!

nice header, I'd add a bit of grey to the category headers, and drop the pop-ups...

[Sigon]

Pop UPS=BAAAAAAAAAD. I personally will not even got to a site with popups.

[ehjay]

well.. there shouldn't be any popups, and none of the 500 something members have experienced any, so you're all alone there. maybe some other site you had open. *shrug*

as per alextrekbek, you can't have that style/template because it's ours. i'd be more then willing to give you a hand with yours, but you can't just have ours. sorry. :p

[alextrebek]

No problem...thanks anyways.

this forum looks nice... perhaps add an image at the bottom of every category to give it that "complete" feel...

l8er

[ehjay]

you mean just like yaxay, etc have done?

[ehjay]

well, since i've posted this we've:
1) won vb of the month.. ;)
2) changed the style around a bit.. new header/footer, and new postbit going in shortly.

what do you think?

[Dean C]

You've won board of the month... interesting ;)

Well bascially

- The footer looks awesome
- For some reason part of the header doesn't load properly and im left with it half black (http://www.blizzforums.com/images/top-middle.jpg)

Only major criticism i have is the actual forumbits. I think it would look great with a lighter grey border ;)

But otherwise it looks great! :D

[ehjay]

yeah, the forumbits and postbit should be changing shortly. ;)

what browser are you using? the header is supposed to stretch to accommodate most resolutions/browsers.

[Dean C]

IE6 ...

But that's not the point... it doesn't load all the image ;) only half...

- miSt

[ehjay]

eh? it works fine for everyone of our users.. and it's optimized for IE..

[ehjay]

new style.
rotating header randomly changes between 10 images.
all nice and vB3ish.

been months since i originally posted this, anyhow.
what do'ya think? ;)

[ehjay]

yet again, many many months. I hate to bump my own thread so many times, but i figure it's better than just remaking the same thread. ;)
