[NEW LAYOUT] Start of new layout initiated

[astral-lark]

Is the banner meant to be dynamic, or are several of them being tested out? Jslattum's is definitely the best. It fits very well.

Looks sweet as anything. Just a couple lines in your coding missing. I am looking for them so i can assist you to make it much easier for you.

 

[Al Dimentiz]

I'm loving it. It looks great on my IPhone and it's very easy to navigate.

Keep up the good job traveler.

The banners are randomly shown each time you refresh the page.

The next things I will work on are:
* Fixing the small 'features'.
* Let people choose which banner they want to have (or none)
* Let people choose if they like to have the liquid layout or not
* Make a 'reverse' (actually a negative) version of the current theme for people who find the current one hard to read


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Thanks for all the hard work!

Is one of the goals to have it easier to read on mobile devices? The current version only takes up the 50% of my desktop screen with dead space at the sides, whereas the previous one took advantage of the whole screen.

I'm just having difficulty with reading top to bottom, rather than left to right as I'm used to. A suggestion, if/when you give a negative/reverse option have the thread title, then the author w/(subforum) and then the time. That in my opinion is the order of importance for information regarding a post. If you could even move the time to the right portion of the line, that would be better in my opinion.

Definitely looks cool! I love the new banners.

For this type of layout you might take a peek at this thread: [NEW FUNCTIONALITY] Mobile view!

Though at this moment I think it needs some more optimizing for the mobile view.

And the idea of the fixed layout is that with the growing screen sizes you don't have to move your eyes from right back to complete left that much. When looking at a 24" screen it was becoming quite a feat to just read a few lines for some.

However, for the people who like the liquid sizing I will make it an option.


Kind regards,

I have to say that I'm loving all the new banners. Awesome work from all who contributed. It's like a cool new surprise every time I go to a page and find one I haven't seen yet.

Traveler,

Thanks for your hard work. The new banners look great. I personally like the rotating banners. I think that by using contributions from across the nexus community we can get a greater sense for what the site is all about than just using one banner. If its not too much of a pain for you, I think that we should take sample banners up to a cut off date, and then rotate from that pool to achieve a balance and reflect the different creative interpretations of the DMT experience from our community.

Thanks, great job on banners everyone!

Thanks trav!

Really diggin' the new look!

 

[The Traveler]

Currently the following has been implemented:

* Fixing the small 'features'.
* Let people choose to hide the banner
* Let people choose if they like to have the liquid layout or not

People probably need to refresh their browser again since the CSS files is slightly changed again!


LIQUID OR NO BANNER

To change these settings you can go to My Profile -> Edit Profile.

After saving it will not directly show it perfectly, for that you need to refresh one more time by just clicking one of the links on the forum.


Kind regards,

The Traveler

Love it, lovely initiative

 

[soulfood]

None too shabby

All looking good Travel, I'm loving the changing banners.

Only thing I'm not gettin on with is that when I view on my phone, I used to double tap my screen and it would zoom in and then resize the text to fit in the zoomed view. It now zooms in but the text doesn't resize. Is this a setting that I have missed?

The quick reply area is smaller than before. Any chance you can increase the size when you click to reply?

Now there are only 3 lines visible.

Time showing up first on the listing doesn't make sense to me and the stacking of post information makes it far more confusing to read for me. I prefer the old layout, and hopefully there will be an option to use it.

Time has been moved to the second place. And you can select the 'Liquid layout design' in your profile.

Also the Mobile view is now much improved. I hope you like it.

The Quick reply area is now set to a much higher height. You might need to Ctrl+F5 again to refresh the CSS file.
