i didn't notice it until just now since i always come straight to the forums. looks great! not as distracting without all the random non-NO news and crap
I like it a lot. That dark blue is really coasy, but also sharp and streamline. Good Work Wen ![]()
And how can I forget the pictures. The random pictures are excellent, always interesting to see a new picture everytime. And I love the blue backgorund picture of Hooky raising his hand.
Very nice work indeed, this design can only be seen as a good thing for neworderonline.com. Please don't let the no-goers persuade you to get rid of it, it's bloody great.
when the front page popped up, the first thing out of my mouth was a big keanu reeves 'whoa!'
i like.![]()
now if you can just figure out why my damn avatar won't show up. i want the world to know about my love for buffy the vampire slayer through my neat-o avatar.
You just need to ask Christy :D
Did I ever tell you I (well, my wife) have all Buffy & Angel DVD boxes?
It's a big, it doesn't save the proper value, I'll fix it when I'll put online the new version of the options/profile, which will be a lot better.
BTW, I just posted the forum index.. everybody is lucky that my home office is the only place with air conditionning in the house... it's so hot and wet in Quebec right now that it's unlivable... 80% humity and 30+ degrees, argh :(

Sorry, but have to say that the forum index looks shit at the moment in this new design. Too cluttered, too much going on around the sides of the page.

The Artwork is nice. But it's not user friendly, because the user has to scroll, if he has a resolution of 1024 x 768 and smaller. These are these days about 75% of the Internet Users after the statistics of my website.
Looks good at first glance, a bit cluttered, but I love the picture banner. Like before, no doubt I'll get used to it and forget what it looked previously. One thing: can you change the line that reads 'if this is your visit to ....' it looks silly without the word 'first'. other than that, keep up the good work.

I knew you didn't like it too much, but "shit" is maybe pushing it a little? ![]()
I just checked it at 1024x768 (I'm usually at 1280x1024), and I don't feel it's too cluttered or anything else ![]()
Maybe I just don't get what you mean by "too much going on around the sides of the page"... which resolution are you Tim?

If you go into http://www.neworderonline.com/Forums/ at 1024x768, the left hand menu dominates the page and squeezes the forum bits up too much. The compression ruins the font and makes it look amateurish.

I think you will need to send me a screen capture, because it doesn't seem to be doing this at all over here... ![]()
Just making sure that what you see Tim is something similar to this... if so, then you'll have to talk with WenOrder to explain your point, he's the designer!

well when i logged on i thought that the site had finally been given OFFICIAL status as it looks soooo slick. im running it in firefox and no probs so far ,well maybe a tad slow to load up sometimes but the old design did that anyways and there is more content with the new design so buddabing buddaboom to that. im currently looking for a website to be built as well drop me a line if interested.

As far as I know, we have been given some kind of official status by the band... except they want us to be indie! ie not forced by Warner to do things we don't want to.
We just need to have better communications now... it's not natural for them to send us information... I hope we'll get there someday!
Yepp, looks good in Firefox. In Opera it seems as if "non-standard" characters (like the ones with ASCII-code > 127, e.g., å ä ö ´ etc.) are displayed in a weird way. I'll try to copy/paste:
From CuanaD's signature. Firefox: Steve: "...sometimes we will be writing and I$)A!/ll say; !.we can!/t do that!-It sounds too much like New Order!/ we can end up writing an old song! !0Stop...this was on Low-Life!1. !0Oh yeah!1!/
Opera: Steve: "...sometimes we will be writing and Iâll say; âwe canât do thatâ¦It sounds too much like New Orderâ we can end up writing an old song! âStop...this was on Low-Lifeâ. âOh yeahââ
(Though the characters I see in Opera is mostly a square, â, and |. Unless I go to the Swedish forum of course... :) )

i may redesign the upper part of the forum index. That black box didn't come out as well as i thought it would. thanks for the feedback so far everyone.

Dont change the forum too much though, I like it kept "work friendly" ;)
For the forum, it will be exactly the same...
I'm quite sure "dark" will catch less the eye than what is is now...
