[heavy beats]

there needs to be a new post button the top of the forum though.

h.

[heavy beats]

what happened?

[MARKEG]

mate, it's the new design i'm working on :)

by mistake i put it on view. but i'm really pleased with the reaction.

gonna work hard on this over the next few days. you're right about the new topic button. let me work on it. ;)

[schlongfingers]

I liked it too - tho I think it would look better if you made the template stretch to 100% width :)

yeh i agree but on some sections i think it would be good-ie promotion and mixes..

just incase the info/links change it would be good to edit it..

suppose you can just put anuther post up tho...

You're missing out on Gi Joe and Transformers, bummer.

On our local techno forums, our board is setup so you have 5 minutes to edit your post. This is a good medium because a) it allows you to fix typos or inconsistencies and b) give you 5 minutes to really think your post over and determine if you really wanted to post what you did. From time to time, it eliminates people from becoming assholes or making remarks that sound better in your head than on screen. Plus within 5 minutes, how much backpeddling can you possibly do?

[MARKEG]

thats a really good idea. let me look and see if there's a way i can do that.

yeah i like that idea.

not keen on anything permanent though. although if it had to be this way, i think making it exclusive to the promotional forums is a good idea.

[Col]

oh and btw mark, im loving everything about the new layout/design.

[Dustin Zahn]

Yes, but the thing is...if you have an edit button available at all times, people can go and retract their statements at the first page in a 20 page thread. With 5 minutes, they won't be able to retract their statement that started the whole mess. They may however, be able to retract another idiotic statement they made on say, page 8 because it was only 5 minutes prior. I don't think 5 minutes is really going to make or break anybody here on the forum. Usually if you want to delete/edit a post that is starting a lot of shit, it usually comes with a huge arguement afterwords, so the 5 minute thing could apply to the whole forum I guess.

are you talking to me dustin?

i just said i liked the idea! :lol:

[MARKEG]

col well please you like it. i think it looks much better but then again, i've been working really hard on it for two days so i would say that eh. please report any bugs etc if ANYTHING at all goes wrong everyone. it's all quite experimental so thing could happen that you don't expect.

that's a very good way of doing it

[Dustin Zahn]

i just said i liked the idea! :lol:

Sorta but not really. I was just generalizing a bit and trying to explain it a bit more in depth.

[MARKEG]

aaaa, things are happening that i don't expect. ok, bear with me and report all your crashes/probs etc to the post in the serious forum label 'php critical error'

[MARKEG]

guys, please report everything re: problems you didn't expect in the serious forum... it seems like it's all to do with your session data. arrghhh... hopefull i've just written a fix for this... fingers crossed u lot!!!

[dan the acid man]

it's the 1st time ive seen the new look, i like it :love:

[basslinejunkie]

yeah same here,its class :clap: :love:

[PDT]

Love the new look...nice one :clap:

[dirty_bass]

Groovy
Could be wider though

i like this slimline design, it means i can have my favs to the left of me, whilst still being able to see the full screen. where as before i could not.

[MARKEG]

i think that these days on forums it looks like slimline might be the way to go. but obviously i wanted to keep it nice and light but still give it a little bit of design. the old forum looked old to me, bulky and a little out of date. that's why i felt i had to improve it.

i massively appreciate anyone's critisism - cause that's the only way this board is going to get better. the main comments so far are the logo size and the slimness. let's keep em coming. i've made a new short term forum for this type of chat and i'd really appreciate your input - cause at the end of the day this is primariliy a techno forum and especailly those who read this post (hard techno forum members) are really valued in the way I design this.

[elek7r]

good design! mark ..

if u need help ! u R welkome !
i work with graphic design .. and stuff like this..



cheers __ from venezuela

[mek]

the new design looks good, more refined. Just needs a little bit more width maybe a bigger font size.

[schlongfingers]

Really like it, but yep would prefer it to be wider - 50% of space is wasted on my screen.

Looks wicked though.

[Tyrisia]

I think this looks brilliant, and I'm all for the slim design as I usually have my fav's open as Col said.

Excellent! :rambo:

Maybe have two skins, slim and wide, shouldn't be a prob to implement..

[TripleX]

the new design looks wicked
good work mark :!:
