Homepage Layout Re-Design

[Trevman]

You lost your centralized, efficient design. Now I have to look at both sides of the screen for info. Users with a lower resolution will have to scroll horizontally to see everything.

Though, frankly, I was freaked to see my avatar staring at me on the homepage.

Same here, and my avatar has a good stare

I like it, and give it an A. I never look at it, though, so it doesn't really matter all that much.

Quite nice, thank you very much...
B+

I like it a great deal (A+) just one niggle it seemed to me that there was no need for two different coloured title bars - rust & blue - I think it would look better with a single colour.
Personal point - Civ II rules and should not be rlegated to the bottom of the page

thank you for votes

on 800x600, normal size(small fonts settings) fonts, ie 5.5 with text size option at medium, i do NOT get horizontal scrollbar

if you increase your text size from ie, i'm sorry, there's not much one can do about it without creating a page that needs to be vertically scrolled on 1024x768 to see the same content

Hmmmm. Compact. Well organised. Aesthetically pleasing. Ohhh! And look at that! There's a tiger right in the middle of it. It's Grrrreeeeaaaaaaaat!

btw, if you're subscribed to some of the forums, they'll show up in the homepage

I don't visit it much, but it still creeps me out.

It looks like a web layout converted to print and back again.

I don't use an avatar, so I get a red X on the front page--even guests get a custom image.

The hedlines in ALL CAPS HAVE ALWAYS IRRITATED ME.

The text in the 'Support Apolyton' box should be centred.

If something is underlined, I expect <span style="text-decoration:underline;" title="Use the title attribute">at least a tooltip</span>.

The images on the centre-right don't appear to be aligned to aqnything else on the page. Is this intentional?

ok now?

if you refer to the moo interview, etc images, they are in a vertical column just like the other main elements in the page(sections titles, news headlines, etc)

Good work

Muuuuch better than the previous version, better structured and also a bit nicer despite many elements are more or less the same like before. Voted A-, since nothing is perfect....

Edit: And I love it that everyone sees now my avatar on the front page

Avatar shows.

Vertical scrollbar is there, but it doesn't actually scroll anywhere, but is there...

Loading times - who complains? Loads in under a second.

perfect is A+, so you should have voted A

Vertical scrollbar is there, but it doesn't actually scroll anywhere

vertical or horizontal?

[MarkG]

you would get a horizontal scrollbar on 800x600 with mozilla. now you wont
