so you are removing the life and relationships thread either that or i cant see it

Yeh we need that Thread.

But looks good, and really good job TC. This won't take that much time to get used tbh.

Shouldn't this be an, announcement thread?

[Xhiea]

just a thought... what about the front page? could have have some kind of stylish looking portal thing? that would be awesome, something like with the newsest posts listed up then you could click through to go to the forums..

getting ahead of myself xD i just saw it on another forum is all

[CraKinShOt]

Well there is a portal thing we can add... I was going to bring it up after the forum change over though

[^^*Toecutter666*^^]

Good idea though X most gfx forums are layout in the same way. And a live chat box would be good aswell.

[mole3700]

I've never been a fan of things like that, toecutter. They seem to just get spammed and take up room on the screen.

[CraKinShOt]

Btw, my general intent is not to reproduce this style we have on this old forum on the new one. We need a change. TC picked a decent template and now I'm simply fixing things that are too much of a change. But generally we need something newish, but not too new so as to annoy people.

Hopefully I'll be able to move the avatar stuff over the left in a bit.

[BenJy!]

As long as its easy to navigate and easy on the eye i have no problems.

[Blast]

can i just ask, why do we need a change crackin?

[sphinx]

can i just ask, why do we need a change crackin?

good question, wondering aswell

[Blast]

i dont intend on stirring anything or cause an argument, its just i dont see myself why we need to change after 5 and a half years.

[Azzy]

Liking the sound of a change. Lose the plain look and gain a new look. Can't comment until final decisions have been made and the changes start happening.

[CraKinShOt]

can i just ask, why do we need a change crackin?

Because a little change here and there brings in some new life... having things stay the same gets dull and boring... Besides, its all that big of a change now. I've been editing the style all night and its coming on nice I think. I'll edit the icons at some point and then I think most people will be able to either like it or get used to it.

[Flawless]

added to the fact Phpbb2 is out dated, if you knew all the features and how much more helpful it can be you'd see. So you're losing a theme? Nothing to get upset over imo.

[Blast]

will avatars be on the left?

and fair enough, im just so fond of the layout and the appearence of this site.

[GazNET]

I'm looking forward to the change, although I really hope the colour scheme doesn't remain the same!

[CraKinShOt]

They already are. Like I said I've already been making changes. The green will be going for sure.

[Nelsaidi]

If so sounds cool!

Crakin , if you need any help ill try my best to help ya out

What WOULD be great is if you could split up the sticky/anouncements and regular posts, so, they are almost like 2 different tables. It CAN be done, just how i dont know, i think its to do with the template, ill dig arround later and find out what i can if you're willing to give it a try

The theme is nice tbh - id have preffered either a nice dark theme (which looks good, this one is half way there), or a sivler/grey clean theme.

[White Dove]

To me, this layout and colour scheme seems easier to read than the new onw.
