VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi Guys and Gals,As you know, I've played with the website design over the last couple of days. So, here's a thread you can leave your feedback on. Please feel free to compliment/criticise it as much as you like.Thanks,Pete Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 oh so this is what they call a website ?!?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 i think its pretty perfect now...well, until you get bored again! lol Link to post Share on other sites
Bampson 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 it's lookkin good .. just one niggle .. the PM bit is at the bottom, so you need to scroll down to see if you have a new PM.. not a big problem just a bit inconvenient .. Bamp Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Grey text on blue is quite hard to see though. Cant it just be black? Apart from that it looks great. :-)Any chance of making the font scalable as well? So if I change the font size in my browser options then it changes the text size?Just an idea as I run a high resolution (1600x1200) and the text on this site at that resolution is quite small...

binliner 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 yeah I like it now... only thing that doesnt work is the grey forum names (and previos/next thread) on the pale blue, black or white would be better imo mate Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Agree about the PM thing as well. Maybe make the Chatbox thing the last thing on the left? Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Actually theres another little niggle Ive spotted (sorry pete!)...when you're in the forum the page gets a bit wider and the grey bar with the links at the top ranges right leaving a white space on the left... is there anyway of ranging it left and having a bit of grey bar on the right that stretches to stay aligned with the right edge of the top banner?did that make any sense?

mark@vagworx 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Another thing......when you're on the main forum page, look at the categories running along the top..eg.. Home, Classified etc etc. If you look carefully...'Merchandise' isn't in the main line, but it's just below in white so you can hardly see it. Do you see where i mean?

binliner 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Its on the end of the top line for me! Link to post Share on other sites

jcorallo 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Good work so far Pete!I think the bit that niggles me, is that when you view a thread, the font used for the title of the Thread is the same as all the other text (in that portion of the screen) - which makes it hard to spot initially....Jules Link to post Share on other sites
