Redesign

Hi all,

So I fell out of love with the last 'black/red' design very quickly, and wanted to go with something a bit easier on the eye. So here you go :)

Still lots of work to do (as always) but I'm happier with the general theme of the site so far.

Thoughts?

    Lookin very chocolaty :) or coffee-ish, whatever you prefer lol

    It's simple, nice and stylish but kinda odd at the same time. Doesn't really feel muppetty to me, if you get what I mean. Just seems a bit too mature...

    Great job anyway! Couldn't do it better myself ;) hehe

    PS: any chance you can fix the IE bugs? There's some slight layout differences, but foremost the login function is a real bitch in IE... :(

    quick fix added for you :)

    I like the new layout! Everyone in the office could see I was on the muppets site a mile off, now from a distant the site could actually pass as being work related lol.

    Overall I like the colours and general direction the theme is heading so far! :)

    The posts are a bit hard to read in italics, keeping them regular would be great. :)

    Apart from that i'm loving it. :)

    @Eerazer : funnily enough, 'mature' is one of the core ideas I wanted to incorporate. I wanted something classy, traditional with a handmade slant while keeping the quirky 'muppetness' which we've always had, which should start to appear over time.

    And quite a few of the browser differences will actually stay, I'll mainly be supporting the newest browsers, and only provide basic support for IE6 for example. You may notice that I'm using the CSS border-radius properties for rounded corners rather than background images, if some browsers have to have square corners, I can live with that ;)

    @os : I'll have a play, I did have the usernames in italics and the posts as normal at one point, I may shift back...

    It's a little different. I actually did like the red and black.  These colors remind me of those vintage western pictures where you dress up.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't hate it.  Just a little different. :)

    I actually like the new look too - I think that this will match your "coffee" concept :)

    Pablo, I have to log in every 20-30 minutes.  Can you make it stop? PLEASE!

  12. avatar Stanton says:

    i'll see if i can sort that today for you

  13. avatar EErazer says:

    Talking about logins... I think there's still a bug as well. It's virtually impossible to log in from IE... I have to try like 20 times to get in and when I'm finally in, any navigation action has a chance of causing an automatic logout.
     (this was posted through FF btw ;))

    Hehe, you got an automatic spelling checker too?!

  15. avatar SK1 says:

    Thank you, Pablo.  Much appreciated.

    Opening different moblog-tabs in FF require me to relogon to several pages....

    Yay!
    Much easier on the eyes now. :)

    Could you possibly extend the reply box to the same size as the maximum width of the replies too?
