Giomanach -> Before I go any further... (9/1/2004 5:48:49)

http://giomanach.wm-talk.com/forums/

Still in the process of modifying the forum layout, etc, any modifications anyone else would like to see?

Dan

Hey Dan,

The scrollbar is scary, you can't see where the bar is!

Need a bit of transparency on your GIFS (FAQ/Search/etc.)

In fact, just redo all of the phpBB icons or look for a theme pack.

As for the logo, I'd maybe just use the gs | sg part?

Otherwise everything else looks OK!




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/1/2004 12:06:04)

ditto above, but maybe just lose the reflection off the logo

huh, check your spelling and punctuation!

p.s. i registered already!




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/1/2004 12:51:45)

Scrollbar - Will be made into normal colours, i.e..I'm gonna remove teh CSS for it.

I wil be replacing the majority of the images, I;'m just taking the standard Subsilver template and ripping it to pieces and making it my own

Logo will be changed.

Spelling & stuff...gimme a chance! lol

Long term aim: To do what Tom & Spooky have done wit the forums here...make them W3C compliant

Dan




Peppergal -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/2/2004 7:49:54)

I have to agree with the reflection thingee on the logo. I know you said you're gonna change it but just wanted to say...change it. LOL




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/2/2004 7:55:46)

Yes Ma'am[:D]

I'm also working on another site for HTML/XHTML/CSS tutorials...anyone wanna see?

Dan




LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:07:05)

Hey Dan :)

I am not fond of the colors at all. I would stick with the scheme already in place for your site to keep it "branded".

The logo. Don't know what i think of that really, so I will leave that and revisit later.

I will sign up, and provide articles. Let me know when it is ready to go.




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:15:53)

Hey Lori

Glad to see your alright with that Hurricane going around over there

The colors are done like so so it fits in with the rest of the web (http://giomanach.wm-talk.com)

I haven't touch this since I posted this so I'm still looking at ideas for images etc ;)

I know how good you are all the puter stuff....so I'll be generous...=D

Dan




LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:21:58)

Ok, I see the support main page now. I just still don't like the colors. I prefer less "bright" - but that is just me ;)

I really do not like that logo, and big sorries to Mark, but I don't fancy any of the ones he did for GS. Not sure what I would change, but none of them sit well with me. You know how picky I am though so, if you like it good enuff - I am just not one to hold my tounge - especially with U :)

What do you mean you are looking for ideas for images? Images for the forum?

Thanks for the "hurricane" thoughts. That one is all gone, and now another is on the way - UGH!




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:31:03)

Yeah, Just looking for images for the forum...just to replace the current ones for the links at the top, no new/new posts, who's online etc..

Yeah your picky...and I love it :D Your the one that got me started...and I try to live up to your standards soo...umm...I try :)

You stay safe, and keep the family safe

Dan




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:54:57)

lori - where have you been?!




LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 2:58:17)

LOL.

Kids
Clients
Cleaning
Surfing
Hiding from Hurricanes

Yep - that about covers it.




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 3:06:26)

ooh cleaning, *that 's* scary ;)




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 3:25:59)

Nah Dave...us blokes think its scary...even though I have to do it at home [&:]

I blame the hurricanes from stopping my calls getting through lol, although....calling Canada....and after about 30 mins...call breaks up and goes all static....still blame the hurricanes[:D]




jaybee -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 14:19:45)

Sorry baby boy but I don't like the colours or the logo.

In fact..... the logo is really bad. Come on Dan you must be able to come up with something better than that.




markhawker -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 15:44:47)

Ok ok, I'm not taking any more flack for this! Had a look, and came up with this...

[edit]Left:
1x Bat
1x Ball (preferably a beach one)
[/edit]

Dan wanted that logo BTW!




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 16:00:36)

um. okay. Nobody gave you "flack" per se - Dan asked for a critique. I am always tell Dan the truth.
I don't like what is in the link above either.

:)




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 16:13:29)

i don't like the design in the above link either!

blue-grey and orange is quite techie




LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 16:20:03)

Going along with dave:

Blue - yes, but not that shade of blue in the tempate above; and in the site as it stands, it is too overpowering.

Orange - yes, but not GOLD, which is the color in use currently; go MORE orange.

Grey - yes, as in use in the forums; sleek color.

My opinion: Use more WHITE, and the blue/orange/grey to pull it all together.




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 16:44:53)

Oh nice and typical...lol...I've created one without any grey...well...some grey..lol

LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 16:54:48)

MORE WHITE PLEASE.

:D




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:01:36)

No need to shout ;)

Changed....I won't say hit this time...I'll say slap me :D




LoriL1212 -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:08:55)

Loose the BG blue, and make it a very very light gray.

Other than that, I think this is much better Dan, jmpo. The colors - the header - the "logo per se".

I would still do something different as my design eye is not located on my head in the same spot as yours, LOL! But I honestly feel much less "turned off" by the new color choices and header.




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:13:59)

You have a go at it in your own time, I know your busy...as always ;)

If not...I'll make those changes tomorrow, after having given blood yesterday..it's taken a fair bit outta me, not suprised seeing as it was my first pint ;), Im still tired lol

ZzZzZzZ Time :D




jaybee -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:47:11)

Much better. It looks professional now.




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:50:27)

something more like this...

jaybee -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/7/2004 17:55:53)

If I'd known I was starting a cult when I did my site in grey and orange I'd have patented it. [:D] [8D]




Giomanach -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/8/2004 5:31:24)

OK, changed my image to a template...colors aren't quite right, but whaddaya expect with only Notepad and MS Paint/MS Photo Editor to work with :o)

http://giomanach.wm-talk.com/misc/webs/gio-support-new/

Just gotta iron out the bugs, and then attempt to implement it onto the forums[&:]

Images are NOT optimized




d a v e -> RE: Before I go any further... (9/8/2004 5:46:35)

didn't like my idea then? ;)
