Something wolfy will miss....

I must say that I really like the visual design of http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/test a <i>lot better </i> than http://www.lancersreactor.org/dnn. It´s just the visuals- I am at least as excited as anybody else about y´all moving to DNN, and cannot wait to see what´s going to happen in terms of the backend stuff, like better-organized mod downloads, etc. But... visually, that page feels very cramped, and the bright white borders just aren´t very inviting- I don´t wanna stare at something that bright every time I come here, y´know? You´ve gotta keep in mind that readability and eyestrain are important parts of the experience.... Having worked with phpBB (a very close relative to DNN) before, I know it ain´t that hard to change the graphics out, though... so maybe y´all can just enable some Themes, so that users who don´t like the Stormtrooper White can pick something a lot more subdued. That´d be the way I´d do it- that way, everybody wins. But I´ve said it before and I´m gonna say it again... that sidebar on the left needs a 100-pixel diet... it´s waaaaaay larger than it needs to be. Doesn´t matter what color it is- it´s still too big for its own good...

i couldn´t have put it better myself Argh (and i didn´t<img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) i´ve also talked about this to a close friend of mine..well, because i talk to my friend about everything<img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (chips might know him as Deadly_Ewok from freelancer<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) and he also agrees with me. and if i´m not mistaken, alot of people like the ambience of the black and grey with white text. (it´s also a good thing for me, becasue black text on white is fuzzy on my monitor)

You know Deadly_Ewok? That guy RULES!!! Damn I miss him, unfortunately - having a job/life means that I am no longer on MSN at around 3am UK time... so i sadly never see him on at the same time as me <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Wolfy - hopefully DNN will be completely and utterly changable (layout wise). From that, graphics could be removed, added, changed and more. The colour scheme should be included in that as well. Say howdy to Ewok for me <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

...Who posted as admin? Too bad the admin login didnt work for me..= P

I think a little update on things can´t hurt I see. OK, the whole DNN plan is off the table. It´s still sitting on the server, but we won´t go through with it. Also the ´new forums´ as you can see on http://www.lancersreactor.org/forum is off the table. However, we WILL change a lot on the entire site and we WILL get new forums (we´re working on both at the moment). Hopefully the latter can be done pretty soon, the rest of the plans will take a much longer time. Arcon is working on that as we speak and when there´s something worthwhile to mention, we´ll tell the community of course. For now it´s hard work for Arcon and very time consuming, so you´ll have to be a little patient for now. ______________________________ Eraser Horseman of <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org´ Target=_Blank>The Lancers Reactor</a> E-Mail/MSN: eraser@lancersreactor.org <i>&quot;I´m a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class...specially since I rule.&quot; </i> <img src=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/i/lan_butt.gif ´>
