Your new homepage

Post by DaveW »

Well, probably not, but we now have a little site. Soon it will have a gallery, and the progress meter will probably migrate there. Check it out here.

The forums just direct here, so there's no point in signing up. Although I have no idea how to get rid of the login form.

The problem is your forum URL contains the session id:
viewforum.php?f=18&sid=09aae1bdaac9050ff195b7e7fc772627

Make that:
viewforum.php?f=18

Ah, I thought that was a bit long. Although by login form I meant the one on our site :)

Btw, go on MSN.

Why is there a big section of blackness in the newsbox area? I have to scroll down to see the news post and the side menu links.

That might have something to do with the following quote:
(7:39:33 PM) [ DaveW ] : This is failing quite horribly.
Which was with relation to some of my progress bar code :roll:

Rest assured, all will be well. Probably.

Once you guys sort out the PHP crap, please let me make some graphics for it because it looks really bad right now. I can help you guys make the layout shit loads better. :D just let me know where I can help. (meanwhile Orange and dark teal BAD idea! :P)

Also I'd advise you to use the newvision.moddb.com sub domain because I'd hate having d-watts/////// crap as its ugly and doesn't really make it any easier for people to remember it, just point it in that direction when you've got something decent up :D.

Good work so far though, but yeah it does need a bit of improvement in terms of graphics and some layout work too. Webpages are easy so I should have the time for it.

I'm going to go over the whole thing with a non-portal site, most likely. This isn't working very well at the moment. When I do, I might add a gallery - but more than likely it will just be an off-site link to ModDB or a Imageshack gallery.

Using a generic portal is a bad idea anyway. I considered it once.. tried it.. hated it. Because a lot of the stuff you don't really need anyway, and it just clutters up the design.

It does have it's benefits...but frankly it limits us in terms of using PHP which is critical to actually having a website!

WIP shot. Just got to add in the menu and then some simple code for the functions. Then it's all done :D

Edit: Somehow I missed the outline around the logo from scaling it down. Fixed now.

That looks shit loads better snipa. It's just that orange and the teal that is bugging me now :D. I have no idea why they just look strange together. You could try Orange and blue as those colors actually do work together.

Play with the colors a bit cause I think thats really the only issue I have with it right now.

I like the colour scheme, that's why I kept it.
I don't know what you want put in terms of your small profile thing, so tell me over MSN next time I'm on.
