Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I've recently updated the forum software... the design changes are just temporary and I will have an Everton theme going shortly! If anyone has any problems.. this is the place to put it jamiemaher85 1 Quote
Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 If anyone has any suggestions for colour schemes... I like these two.. http://evertondirect.evertonfc.com/stores/product_images/efc-63173.jpg?width=180&height=180&quality=95 <-- This shade of blue or http://evertondirect.evertonfc.com/stores/product_images/efc-63172.jpg?width=180&height=180&quality=95 <-- This one? I'm leaning towards the latter Quote
rubecula Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 If they are the choices I would prefer the first myself. But I think there is not a lot to chose between them. I am not much of a one for suggestions though. I usually suggest something either truly awful, or just plain stupid. How about the old 'salmon pink' and royal blue stripes? Or perhaps Blue and yellow? The post box is white anyway. Quote
Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 It'll take me a while to get it right, I'll offer some choices in colour schemes. Quote
rubecula Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I think making it work properly is the most important, then followed by making it easy, then and only then, making it look good. Just my opinion mind you, I think you all do a fair job at it anyway. I am not much of a one for changes until it is all done and dusted. So I suppose my opinion is not that important. (Especially as I do not post as much as many others) Quote
Bill Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 My first impression is that it does'nt look like a footy forum, it looks like some business advertising page all grey and sombre. There is no seperation between the Pinned Posts and the rest of the Threads. Ive noticed when editing you cant preview the post, I like to see if its right before i post it. But its not finished yet so i'll hold back my thoughts until it is. I'm leaning towards the latter colour also Louis. Quote
MikeO Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Either colour for me....not overly bothered...people will get used to it before long. As long as we get the TT logo back asap . Quote
Everton_Worshiper Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 OMG - Change the logo...quick. It looks bad. Looks like it used to rely on a white background to give it the right effect. Quote
Everton_Worshiper Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Links open in same window rather than new window. Quote
jamiemaher85 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 It's taking me awhile to get used to this, but here is my views. Good Points:- Recently viewed threads- really good little addition Quicker access to Fast Reply- very good Bad Points:- General Layout things- but i completly understand that this is going to change so its not really a huge issue, would be good if pinned threads and general threads are split like before as for colours, i much prefer the second option.

DangerMouse Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Think it looks ok... & Im sure the logo is temp so I wont complain..... Quote
jamiemaher85 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I would advise everyone to go to the bottom of the front page and click "Mark Board as Read" as at the moment it will think you have not read anything, it looks much better then and you can actually start seeing what is new content again.

Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 Wheres the Arcade. ??? and whats happened to my Sig. <<---- The space for the avatar is toooo wide, can it be narrowed. ?? I'm working on everything mentioned! It's going to take me a while Quote
jamiemaher85 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 changes you've just done already look alot better. i'm really coming around to this now. Good work Louis. Quote
thescore Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 it looks fresh and sharp. agree about the logo maybe if you go with the darker blue and change the font. looks very smart. Quote
MikeO Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Should the logo not be central Louis? Looking good though imo. Quote
Ten Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 OMG! I was soo confused...? i thought i typed the address in wrong :S Quote
jamiemaher85 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I like the addition of the yellow. Its nice to have a little more colour splashed on. Its starting to look like the 07-08 kit! Quote
Bill Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Think the lines seperating all the threads and topics (table ?) should be coloured either a pale blue or pale yellow/gold. its only a very thin hairline but it would give the site the colour its missing. The forum headers are almost black, have we not got a royal or a navy blue.?? Nice work Louis. Quote
ooberman Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I like the addition of the yellow. Its nice to have a little more colour splashed on. Its starting to look like the 07-08 kit! oooh bloody hell this gave me a shock!! looks good though, will get used to it! Quote
Moe Joe Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Fast reply is better and quicker and I like multiquote. The yellow is great too. Sexy layout in the making. Edited July 7, 2009 by `Moe Joe. Quote
Bill Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I think the "PINNED" signs are a bit non-discript. Do you need any help Louis. ???? Quote
Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 We'll get there in the end Bill! I'm toying with different combinations on my PC at the moment. The blue shades never seem to look 'Everton' Quote
Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 What's this look like as a base? I'm thinking about moving the [Forums....Search] bar above the logo like we used to have it. Any thoughts? Quote
Everton_Worshiper Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Would leave it below as it is now, looks fine to me. Quote
Ian C Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Would leave it below as it is now, looks fine to me. Agree ^^ Quote
thescore Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 search bar is fine where it is. as a base this very good, i think the colours are fine as well Quote
Louis Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 I think the gold is too strong at the moment? Quote
