Hey guys, check it out ;D

Well.
I was looking for the same look, size, and organization as it is now - but the topics update like shoutboxes.

Yeah, I knew it couldn't happen.
I just thought it might be a nice feature, but it wouldn't be too useful.
But what would be nice is a toolbar on the side, that you would click an arrow to open, and It would show you a few tabs for things like your Inbox, My Posts, and New Posts.
Something like this.

Just a thought.
Right now working on a new concept for a theme.

 

[Ellie]

Just a little thing we've been working on.

Linkie

Thoughts?

:box:

wyatt that looks great

also we need a babe of the day section :fap:

 

[action]

Yeah, I already found it.

It's nice - doesn't resemble the original, but rather more a blog.
I like the side links, and the sections you have added.
But you better update it regularly - don't end up like RPG-Palace!

"Hi again, Js"

Js ? o.O

 

[Ellie]

Mods and above can update the site so activity hopefully won't be an issue.

Oh and yeah jb, there's some problems with weird characters in names I don't think any are life-threatening but if you get any severe problems let me know.

 

[Jason]

Lol it's not a problem, just weird that it says "Hi again, Js", I mean seriously, Js, as in... Jays ? o.O

 

[Ellie]

Arbiter's name doesn't show at all o.O I just noticed that.

If you guys have any suggestions for the "mainsite" I would like to hear them. It doesn't matter how big, small, or stupid they sound. (No jokes guys -.-)

Need to know them as soon as possible otherwise won't be able to make them fast!

 

[High Hopes]

What's your goal when it comes to the main site? Is it a place you want people to spend most of their time?

If you wanted a trim main site, my suggestion would be to take a "quick look" approach to it, offering nothing but the most important information on new scripts, event systems, graphics, and news. Imagine a stripped down and condensed version of the "This Week on .org", with a daily format. The daily format would be a bit hard to do with the current staff, so perhaps select a team of seven "Today on .org" writers, and assign a day to them. They then write the article covering the previous day's happenings, in the vein of a newspaper. The rest of the space on the main site would be devoted to a logo and a simple top bar with a few essential links.

However, if you were considering a beefy main site, a smattering of all the information you'd ever want would suffice. Perhaps a "box format", as it were, would be in order. You'd have the biggest section devoted to news and the like. You could have a small box for videos, a sidebar for all of the latest files or forum topics, another box for a poll, etc. You could add another sidebar that would serve as a "quick links" section for the various forums. Ultimately, the first priority in my mind would be the news, so have a streamlined top bar, logo above that, and leave it at that so you wouldn't have to scroll too far to see the news.

Ultimately, there's one thing I think you should do with a main site: make sure the most important content is immediately viewable with minimal effort.

The quick reply is my best friend. But he's been rather down lately, as he cannot compete with the full reply.

To the point, a little bar with a few commonly used bbcode buttons underneath the text box would be helpful

 

[Toams]

would you please test the quick nav bar on the left instead of on the right.
it doesn't really feel right

except with some better spacing

 

[Ellie]

It was originally on the left but every other staff member wanted it on the right :/ I have no idea why.

I could make two themes I guess.

 

[action]

Yes, that would work.
I guess my ideas aren't working out...

 

[Ellie]

BBcode in quick reply is certainly posible.

 

[action]

Alright, that would be nice. Thanks

I like the resource section idea, in the main page. If the request and submit was intergrated into the site, rather than wordpress, it would be easier.
