Generation G releases VB 3.0.1, suggestions requested.

[Glacierhawk]

Generation G has released our version of VBulletin 3.0.1 with two styles.

I am interested in comments and suggestions on how we can continue to improve on our Forums as we will be completely redesigning our entire site around them.

The member log in box area was empty with the actual log in to the right of it on the Gen G style.

Its a nice style, I think the links on the left for the usercp and stuff should be a little smaller though.

Quite an interesting style. Think I like it. I happen to agree with Reeve though, the navbar buttons are a bit big. But this isn't a huge issue.

The Members login issue seems to be browser based. Might I ask what browser you are using? I've scanned the site on IE 5.5x, Netcape 7.0, and a few others. Opera seems to be causing me some issues, and I amnot sure how to address it exactly.

Both of your comments about the navigation top left are noted, and I'd like to invite you to see why I've made them the size I did. (Big Picture decision).

Concept of our soon to be released redesign: Generation G Concept.

As you will see we have content blocks that will run down the left hand side of the site that will require the space provide in the navigation area.

This concept was born out of what we are doing with VBulletin, and our custom CMS to handle the rest of the site.

Thanks again for the input, and I look forward to suggestions on how to address the browser issue if there are any available.

Two things I see would make it perfect. Furst, the login in the navbar needs to be linear, remove all <br /> tags so that, and the actual navbits, flow on a single line. See my site for an example of a linear login area. The second thing is if you add a <br /> after the link for 'lost password?' the box it's in should be the same height as the stats box to the left of it. Alternatively, you can set a style="height:??px" on both those items.
