DNF Forum Design

[whydna]

The new design is much cleaner. It will take some getting used to though, but overall I think it was a good change.

The site banner doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the site anymore though

The best is oftentimes the enemy of the good... Place the old template back and stop your experiments!

Have to agree with DNP on this one.

I agree, so far I think it looks cleaner. Nice Job

I'm sure more changes will happen in the next day or two while members give opinions and code gets cleaned up.

Looking forward to it.

The new skin will remain, it is not an experiment.

Right!

That is not user friendly.

I agree. It is annoying having the width of the forum crunched down and also having to scroll forever to get to the actual content.

[Dimva]

I love it!
Looks really clean

At first glance I like the change. I especially like the recent posts section on the right side - nice to see what is currently active in discussions.

Are the affiliate links for the DNForum affiliate program affected by this change, or are they the same? Looks like my affiliate link still works.

Wow, that totally took me off guard. Very Nice design. It definately elevates the site to a new business-like plateau visually.

[pcproffenno]

I like the new design a lot, including the top menu. Well done !

[jdk]

Not to mention the dark bar of advertisements I always accidently click on when I try clicking Home.

I do get a syntax error still:

Line: 213
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

The new layout is good but I hate the width of the forum. For those of us with smaller resolution screens, it makes scrolling an extreme effort!

[jdk]

There is also a lag when loading the front page waiting for all the advertisement banners to load.

Way too much contrast against the background, I dont like it.

You need a Woman to pick out the colors

suggestion:
move chat and auctions to the left column (and only on the homepage)

and also move all of content development; and all of the forums except for dnforum news into another section below everything else; it is annoying to have to come and see everytime so I close it, but I would like to be able to read forum news;

bottom line: you shouldn't have to scroll to see the first set of forums (ideally these would first be the news forum and then the sales forums)

Agree! Or two

For the home page, the right column looks too wide. Cut it down some and then the page isn't quite so looooong.
