I was told to make the site look more like the new homepage, and after a bunch of fiddling, I have done so!

I know some things are kinda funky, let me know if you notice anything messed up that I can fix.

We also need buttons. I'm going to work on that.

The backdrop and colors are great. Just need to get the post boxes to fit the screen. Right now they are so thin, I feel like I'm reading the newspaper. My screen is set for 1400 X 1050 resolution, if that helps you out some.

Not exactly sure what you're referring to. Could you take a screenshot?

Oh! Yes! I am aware of that. I have to fiddle with that more, it bugs me too.

After clicking around, the only thing that is bugging me is the colors. It kinda overwhelming ... the background is so light, and the red here against the black is kinda harsh... Perhaps instead of the black there, maybe something softer....grey? Just a suggestion!

Looks awesome spleen but I tend to agree with SaraH on the colors
they are a tad harsh compared to the background
but yeah otherwise it looks marcylicious (it's a word!)

Yeah, I'll take a look at it when I have time.

Dave K sounded really keen on getting board admin and doing all this himself when he e-mailed me after I finished working on it, so maybe he can crank out something nicer.

It's actually the opposite on my screen. The background is fine, but all the text boxes are in a column in the middle. To kind of describe it, look at the top of the screen where the MP logo is, now imagine that all the text and such only runs underneath Marcy Pla and then goes to the next line. The banner looks ok, but I just have a thin column of text. Very odd looking (at least on my screen). As I stated before, I am running on 1400 X 1050 res. The BB looked fine on my screen b4 the change, so something in the code doesn't like it....

Joe, you can just host the screenshot at imageshack.us instead of e-mailing it.

If Dave K wants to have a hack at it, I say let him. He is really good at this stuff. Not that you aren't spleen, but if you don't have the time than I say just leave it as it is. It's not like so overwhelming that its given me a migraine or anything, LOL!

I am so excited ...July 7th is almost here, the new website is up, we are still the official board..... W00t!! cool.gif
