Boring ambiance. It looks very fluid in design, but give it a bit of introduction, as well as some nice paint.

I think it looks really great. It is clean and simple.

I would try to add something that makes it look like the main site. I would link to the main site too.

Oh I liked it much better the other way!

I think the separation or containment of the box was really nice. Now it looks a bit boring and is hard on the eyes.

I also liked how last time it was separated between “serious” categories and non-serious ones.

We just plugged it back in and we’ll be working on it as we go along. @Fred931 the boringness of it all will be fixed hopefully. c:
@RedPowerLady I’ll run it through with the big man

@Sonnerr Please do!

Here is a forum setup I really like as an example:

RedPowerLady's avatar

@Sonnerr Sorry don’t like it myself but to each their own. I think you should google
“popular teen forums” to get an idea of what might be the best set up.

@Sonnerr Call me completely stupid- but once I get the pop up window with the forum I cannot get out of it without quitting the window. Personally I do not find it user friendly.

@Sonnerr :: Lightboxing the forums is about the worst possible idea imaginable. For one it will make it impossible to bookmark a specific page in the forum.

And that is just the first on a long list of why you should never ever do something like that.

jrpowell's avatar

@Dog :: The word close should be in the upper right corner.

See. This is number two on the list of why this is a horrific idea.

Fred931's avatar

@RedPowerLady Look in the far bottom left for a drop down menu.

Sonnerr's avatar

Holy crap! never thought of that… I mean, the bookmarking idea.. I’ll be on that like white on rice! Thanks
