Added drop down list to top of page, moved quick links to left, hope you like (still fine tuning).

Cloud · 31-05-2002 11:16am

And individual news groups are now listed on the drop down as well...

thumbs up

I like it alot

sweet but on big reses the front page kinda looks weird (left aligned while the nav is centred).

Anyway, I'm thinking of redesigning the front page anyway (and reprogramming it, to learn PHP).

if you aligh top menu to left and get page to fit exact then it would be sorted. big res here btw. looks good but a tad weird

Right, I've "lefted" it. Also there are less DB queries in the main page now so it should load quicker (the dhtmlmenu was being generated but not displayed as well as the left column of forums).

How about a small piece of white space at the very bottom of the front page underneath
"you can either contact us or just find out more about boards.ie. "

Just to give a bit of breathing room?

...jolly hockeysticks wotto!

Quick suggestion...

How about reversing the vertical order of the boards logo and drop down menu, with the boards logo 0px from top and the menu bar 60px etc from top. The menu bar is a bit lost at the top.

Actually here's one I made earlier

Good idea to put it on the front page all the same

Lookin' good :cool:

*applause*

Cloud · 31-05-2002 2:44pm

Can't be done at the moment 80p, the menu has issues when placed in a table, and that's what that would require. However I've changed the yellow to white and I think it now doesn't look as out of place.

Nice one cloud/DeVore and co.. i have wanted the drop down menu on the front page for ages!

btw looks like there is space on the fron page in the top right corner for a flash ad!

amp · 31-05-2002 3:05pm

Excellent, hearty approval, etc.

May I sound my disapproval for the changes. It was ok before so if it aint broke dont fix it.

Advertising gambling! You have sunk so low.

Shame

Having said that, just having the menu on the front page makes surfing a lot faster

HMMM...I like the new look. However I'm only getting a white bar at the top of the page, and when the mouse hovers over the relevant points, I am getting yellow text on a white background. The Drop down menus seem ok, It's just the headings that are affected

Cloud · 31-05-2002 10:17pm

What browser is that? I've made a change, does it work now?

Well it seems to work in NS4 so that's as low as I'll go, lynx is a step too far

BioHazRd · 02-06-2002 11:40am

Cheers cloud, that's fixed now - BTW it's IE5

Main page update (again)
