Do you like it or not?

It took me forever to put it up, so I wanted to know what people think of it before putting the same skin to each and every page of the website.

It might spoil the surprise a little, but since I'm unable to put it online today completly and I tought I would be able to, I prefer to at least put the main page of the website.

Let us know your toughts and what you think about it and if something is wrong on your side.

Forgot to say thanks to those who took a few pictures of what is now and will be on every page ;)

There are currently 70 random pictures, we'll put more, but we need at lease 900 pixels wide to do so...

And hum, forgot to mention that this design is 100% done by WenOrder... not me!

Love it, great feel to it, more energy. At first I though I was at the wrong site, then I was like woh. I like how it more personal, I hope to see more of it. Great job! Maybe you could add a guitar and bass tabs section while your at it? :nod:

I thought I was at the wrong site, too! In fact, upon seeing the Monaco album there, I thought I got redirected to Ally's old site!

I do like it though. What's with the inbox and sent messages? It says I have one sent message? :confused2:

I love it! wenorder, after seeing some of your sites for other businesses, this design is the best yet :)

i also noticed a message inbox, have not played with it yet, but what is it for/how does it work?

What exactly am I supposed to notice that's different. Looks much the same to. Do I have a dumb computer, or just a 1d10t error?

The front page looks great, I'm sure there are still some things to tweak (like trying to view the profile of the poster in the Latest Posts section). Must've missed the informatin about the blogs though, don't remember seeing anything about them, or the blogs themselves, before today.

Looks sharp. Spend most of the time on the forum anyway. One gripe is that big section between the page header and the news, could do without that.

It’s a lot better than the old one, that’s for sure. I like it – especially the fact it’s now cantered properly.

Looks good from here-big pat on the back to Wen for all the hard work.

The message center will be enabled shortly, it's actually private messages between members...

Glad to see everybody like it, encourages me to continue... there is obviously something with data gathering on there that I will try to fix, because many people got a server timeout on the page (well, not that many, but still)

Hey, that's not a bad idea, we could have a random FAQ printing over there!

They were advertized a few months ago, but never linked directly, that's why you probably missed it.

The blogs are a little bonus given to the people who have contributed to NOOL...

Nick (& Mike),

Overall a very nice site and so on and so on and so on... :)

You know my general opinion of the new design - I'll live with it.

Here are a few comments from the "alternative" browsers$)A!'' point-of-view:

Firefox 1.0.4 (WinXP):

  • Looks very nice. The menu is not very obvious, but maybe it shouldn't be that anyway.
  • The main "heading"-font (graphic) is not competing well with the fat Arial-font. I think the "heading"-font should be bigger and/or bolder, alternatively making the fat Arial-font smaller.

Opera 7.54 (WinXP):

  • Generally see above.
  • The "Past Updates" headings (e.g., "RAM's new web site is up" and the "Read More" in the Blog entries are very big (14-16 points?) non-fat, non-italic. underlined Arial-font. Not at all the way it appears in Firefox.
  • The menu is not good at all. Same font as in the "Past Updates" headings, plus the font color is dark-blue for non-visited links and purple-red for visited links - probably the default colors in my browser. They lit up nice though when hoovering.

Overall, just minor CSS tweaking.

Good job. /TLV

As my Spanish-speaking friends might say, "muy bien!" :thumb:

I have to say, it was disconcerting for the first few seconds (thought I was on the wrong page), but I like it, it's more "alive" than the previous design. Top-notch job, whoever all was involved! :nod:

LOL!

I Didn't even know nic made the front page live yet!!!! Well it's just the first step of a major redesign to the site. I appreciate the comments and many thanks to nic for letting me do another site redesing :)

TLV, I'm testing it in FireFox and Mike on Mac, you're expecting me to install Opera now? :lol: ;)

It actually looks better in FireFox IMHO.

Looks good:thumb: Takes a while to load though, will each page take so long?

Server is running slow at the moment, so I don't believe it has much to do with the actual page

No, it might be the upgrade of the data library that causes this, because I get a lot of database timeout.

Will try to fix this when I get home... sorry folks!
