New Design

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

nice change. don't want to bring up bad blood like the last time i commented a design change (very very long ago, when i think about it), but take this in the best way possible - you've got vince carter in a raptors uniform on the main page banner :)


peace out.


No worries Tony, that's all behind us now - thanks for the comments. :) I did realise the error with Vince Carter after the banner was done (I unthinkingly took the screens using default rosters), but it occurred to me too late. I'm sure we'll make a new banner sometime in the future, probably before we change colour schemes or the whole layout.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback so far, seems it's pretty popular. (Y)

Blue is also supposed to be a relaxing colour, so if you're looking for a mood to associate with the new design I'd pick that one. ;)

Sorry to hear you don't like the new design Dweaver. A few people made the same complaints about the red design though (that it was too harsh), which was one of the reasons we went for blue; that, and we were trying for a retro look with the black and the blue.

to the works for the main page that was superb....it look far better than the NBA website itself....DW dont complain too much....having red all over the place has an unconscious effect for people to be war freak.....the blue color as andrew said can be soothing and relaxing......anyways i prefer a black and white scheme but that would look old school...to the new colors we have :chug: good job

I like the frontpage design, it's just that when I sit in front of a cathodic tube display ( yup, no TFT screen yet for me... :( ), blue gets to my eyes... especially light blue... and those are doctors' words, not mine...

Guess I'll make due with what we've got, no? :wink:

Although I see why people would like a darker blue, I must say I have no problem with the current blue, looks cool. I have a CRT monitor as well.

We already have. You might have to refresh a couple of times before they show up. After I uploaded the images, some of the old ones were showing up here and there.

Do I even need to comment? I've said I love this thing so often it's become old already. So when's the next layout update? :P

Just playing, just playing. Andrew & Andreas, you took all my whining & bitching in stride and came up with one helluva design. I have no complaints whatsoever. I like this blue, a darker shade of blue would make it a bit depressing. Maybe even "amateurish". :P

Anyways, glad to see the designs been implemented, now let me enjoy it by visiting the other sections. :dance:

I like the new design. It's simple yet appealing. How old was that "red" design anyway?

I hope the blue fonts would be darker though. The present blue font that we have right now is kinda pale, plus it gives me the impression that all the links are visited because of the softness of the color. Just stick with the different shades of the color, blue.

The red design wasn't too old. Blue and orange wasn't that long ago was it?

Is it just me or is it taking extra time to load the page once the "latest post" section was added.
