Forum Layout

Thats better Arby - did you do all this in flash?

Yeah, all in flash 8. (I couldn't for the life of me get the filter to apply in AS3) I can send you the .fla if you're interested.

Yah, that might not be a bad idea - this way folks can submit their own backgrounds incorporating the effect all in one submission. Maybe even add their own spin on the effect.

FYI, I think I like the second one you did better. It's smoother cuz it effects the entire banner, rather than just a small piece. Still- I think the "suprise" factor probably works better with the first one. Oh heck, I dunno which!

Joe I know what you mean, I am working on a design for the new forum, trying to replicate the old one, but making it newer if that makes sense?

Adam, i have seen the old forum design, it was not that design that i was talking about, it was another one that looked similar, it was the skin we had before this one, i wish i could describe it better. Just to remind any of you who know what i mean, you could look at someones profile and it would have a column on the right with pictures of other users who recently viewed the profile. Thats the design/layout i'm talking about.

...and there was the right-hand column where people could leave comments on your profile page. Yes. That was the old software though. To get all that stuff back we'd have to revert to the old forum software. (before vBulletin).

Yeah, the would move the forum forwards backwards even more.

I agree with your hint. I really liked the look and interface of that software. It somehow felt like candy for the eyes and soul. But I really like the increased functionality of vBulletin. If only we could magically merge the best of both.

You know what I just realized is ironic? Why ado we have to worry about design when these are the people who allegedly bought us?

PS. Was that website made by Malac?

Wow, I like the old forum layout much better than our current one.

I don't really like the old banner, though the whole table effect works good.

I think that incorporating the current head menu, into the old design would look cool.

I really like the way the old forums buttons on the top look.

IMO, I think the old forum looks much like the home page, and it looks really cool:D

I also loved the old forum. But it was phpBB and this is vBulletin, so I'm not sure what would be involved in creating a skin that is similar since the software is different. That would be a better question for asher.

There probably is a program that could convert the skin from that forum to something this could use, but I dont know. I also looked around that forum a lot and I like a lot of the things that had that we dont, like the moving new thread windows, the lucid skill option, the country flag, and buttons on the top that this one does not have.

edit: I looked at both manuals and their skins, I'm pretty sure both are the same, so you should be able to use the old one here.

can someone link me to the old forum please?

im currently developing my custom skin, i would like to make one for dv

The old forum looks so sophisticated - i had forgotten what it looked like!

Indeed..it looked a bit more..well I don't know, yeah, sophisticated..but the new one is easier to navigate I think...more simple looking..not bad, just easier.
