Jay 37,322 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Woah, what the? It already looks completely different now than it did 3 minutes ago when I started the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russds 8 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I must be viewing as your switching themes, because now it looks different than the first time it looked different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,322 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yea it was a blue skin by Matteo and Andreas (not sure if the same Matteo and Andreas from the board or not) when I started the thread, and now it's a different white theme by some other guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD 1,221 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 To be honest, I think the main page should be the way it was before the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,322 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I like this new theme alot (it's already been improved since a few minutes ago, with links to the forum and stuff on the left)The only thing it needs is for the article previews to contain the picture / cover in question.I also miss the "Latest releases" vertical bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Pretty clean lined, slightly clinical. Needs more colour. Otherwise the layout looks very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 One thing I would say though is I don't like that it has one of those arrogant mobile layout's which ignore the User Agent change which would enable the user to browse the full fat desktop view if they so desired.It's like, look at this way or go fuck yourself!

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah, I think JW at least ought to be in the banner. But otherwise, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1_freeze 131 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I hope you appreciate me being honest and not lying (don't take it personal, i love the site and all the effort that goes into it):The old one looked best, the updated one last year looked well enough. I don't like this one. The logo has low resolution, the grey striped background looks boring and at the same time annoying and somehow it seems less professional and more amateur now. All the little flourishes are gone too I don't understand why a new overhaul was even necessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah. It really doesn't jump out at me. This looks like a someone taking a swing at their first blog. (And I would echo . . . why the need for a change anyway?)But you may have jumped the gun a bit by soliciting reactions at this point, Jason. We might all be very pleased with the final result.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,626 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hmm, that's the blandest main page yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 But you may have jumped the gun a bit by soliciting reactions at this point, Jason. We might all be very pleased with the final result.At the time I started the thread, there was this cool, blue theme on the main page, and it hadn't been changed in a while. It looked nothing like the current white one. Anyways, I had no idea that Ricard was still working on it or I wouldn't have started the thread. He began tweaking it literally like a minute after my thread went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 No problem. We'll just label it "Under Construction" for now, and wait for the ribbon-cutting ceremony before judging it prematurely. - Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I got no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 How's about a new banner?I call it "The J Note"I considered an outright eigth note to replace the J. Too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If Williams ever had a street name it would be "J Note". I can imagine Williams being introduced in the next Boston Pops concert: "Yo, J Note in da house! He'll be bustin' you a mean set of notes wid his posse the Boston Pops. Respect da man! I wanna see some hands in the air!"But yeah that looks quite good Blume. It could use some colour or images on either side of the name though. Something to liven up the place. The new layout is rather Spartan at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I prefer it when man and his movies can be seen in the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard 2,244 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks everyone for the feedback. The current banner is, of course, temporary.Needs a colourful banner!Now it actually looks better.

Faleel 5,340 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Good, though Vader is squishing Tintin a little there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It's good and will work, once the colours of the images bleed and blend a little more into the main black of the border. At the moment the collage just looks a bit forced, a bit pasted on.Also, it needs more John. BLUMENKOHL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
