Alien Soup - Facelift

[Alien]

Just thought I'd give everyone a hollar, just completed a new facelift at our site. Alot of links and such are still broken as those areas will be opening one by one but I think it came out pretty well.

Hope you enjoy the site!

Here's a suggestion for UI:

In the footer, there are many mysterious buttons.. they link to the arcade, gallery, chat, and store on the left and to your privacy policy and TOS on the right.. however they are currently unlabeled and you must rely on the mouseover text to have any clue as to what they are.

Why not do a javascript image replace on that purple spacescape in the middle with a big title of the link that you are mousing over in the footer? So when you run your mouse over the unlabled buttons, the label appears in the middle, overlayed on the spacescape.

vbmechanic: Not an altogether bad idea, how small exactly is such a javascript code? I'd rather stay away from making the page any longer in load time. ;)

Kurafire: Thank you kind sir, now about that Ultimate Quote Hack integration... :D

The javascript itself would be small, but it would be up to your graphic artist to make the rollover images small enough to handle. You could also cut that purple spacescape into two, with a smaller lower part that would rollover and change images.. making the load time less. As it is, those buttons are next to meaningless for most people without labels.

Or nevermind the purple spacescape, and use the little blue screen as the label readout.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll think about that strongly when I plan some tweaking...
