shadytires Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Forgive me for bringing this up since I know it's probably been said a million times.... Are they still looking to change the forum back so it fills up the entire page rather than scrunched over on the side? I realize you need ad revenue but this is a little ridiculous. Why not have banner ads at the top and bottom of the page? Still confused why this it's still here and wondering when it will be gone. I remember a few promises to remove it a while back but have yet to hear any news on this recently....??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rob 64 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. I guess we'll all have to do that since the mods can't seem to help....A much more pressing issue is--- when can I start new threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it be a pretty quick and simple switch to take it back to wide....strange it's taken this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James H. Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have to get the requirements in order first, and then we can have more open conversation and feedback on functionality. I told you guys I'd share the comps as they come together. This is a just a layout spec, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James H. Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Some initial direction I'm hoping to push through:- Liquid layout, so the app fills your browser however wide you make it.- Dynamic menus, so they appear when you need them, but can be hidden to free up content real estate. More to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpin Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I like the look of that layout. I wouldn't mind a dark theme to go along with it. I suppose that'd be too much trouble though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to come...I like the new look James. I just hope my outdated browser likes it, as it struffle with AF.com (or maybe Ijust need to update).PS - How was the trip to London? Did you get to see the Falcons - Bengals game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I would rather the activity be on the right. Will it have the last reply poster information too?Is that supposed to be avatars beside the member (I am assuming the member is the starter)? If it is, I don't it is necessary.

BlacksburgHokie Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have to get the requirements in order first, and then we can have more open conversation and feedback on functionality. I told you guys I'd share the comps as they come together. This is a just a layout spec, but you get the idea. I think that layout looks good - my only question is about the red-white falcon on the top; is that an official logo? Maybe I've missed it, but I can't say I've seen it anywhere else.Liquid layout would definitely be a nice addition too especially for those of us with widescreen monitors.Keep up the good work!

Guest James H. Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Oh, man. I just got done fixing your last 'improvements'. Can you wait until the off season to make your changes? I'm talking the offseason in 2035.First -- this is the first time I've done Life, so you're speaking to assumptions.Second -- you may be the only person who prefers the "squashed" layout of the current forum; however, if others agree that we shouldn't change anything here, then by all means, we'll leave it be.

Did you get to see the Falcons - Bengals game?London rocked, as always -- thanks for asking. The only bar in town we could find that had NFL was the Sports Cafe near Trafalgar. Unfortunately, it full of Steeler's fans, so that's the only game the bar would put on. Blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be much more important next Spring.The member / avatar you're referring to would not be the starter, but rather the last post author. That should be more clear in the header.

Yes - there is an official one-color primary mark. It is a little cleaner, and easier to use in a flat color pallet or in physical product like a solid metal keychain, etc. But I'm not sure it will stay this way through the finished product.Liquid will be tough given the other items that need to be there, but it's a must-do as far as I'm concerned.
