Title: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Jeff on February 28, 2004, 02:56:04 PM
I have a notion on doing something but I want to make sure its not going to be to problematic for you folks. Its a fairly simple formatting change to bring in the newer forum logo that has the sun behind it. Rather then being above the sponsors, I would move it up the the top left corner. The menu at the top would also be changed to make room for the logo at the top. I would not be soing anything with the way the forum itaself is layed out. The only change to the left after moving the logo up, would be the sponsors move up to take the space.

I know some of you guys hate change. Tom in particular. ;)  Anyway, I would like some comments. I plan on backing up the format as it is now in case what I would try really sucks, so we could jump right back.

You've done a good job so far, keep up the great work.
As for change, that's what you do when you make lumber from logs.

Looks good but how about a wood grain background in the new box.   Like it's a wood plaque.   I also like how it moved the
"Good Evening ADfields, it is 02/28/04 at 19:00:53
you have 20 messages, 0 are new."
stuff up off that bar.

Nice job, Jeff.  Look's nice. :)

Hey, ADFields!  If your header is sayin' you got 20 messages, you're maxed out. I don't think you'll get any more until you delete some. :D

Na, it's auto-magic. ;)   It tells me when I get a new one by saying "you had 21 and the oldest will be deleted, OK?" or something like that.   Been working fine for over a year now. ::)

ok, now hes spinnin too fast ;Dcant catch him ???

do you plan on droppin your toolbar or whatever down a bit so its top is level with the top of the FF logo? as it is now it sits flush with the extreme top of the page. just a thought.
 
 i like how you got all the boards crammed in there. nice!

i was checking out the nostalgic side of the forum in the archives. its nice to get DEEP into the forum, when i was but a twinkle....

I'm going to do sumpthin with that menu, I just aint figured out what. I dont like it.

Post by: Fla._Deadheader on February 29, 2004, 05:43:42 PM
  It's lookin better.  There's an empty spot on the right side. Could ya stack the middle parts in 3 lines, to balance the page? That would leave room in the upper right for something new??

  Just a suggestion, you da man ;D
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Jeff on February 29, 2004, 05:45:59 PM

Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Kevin_H. on February 29, 2004, 05:51:08 PM
yea, I'm thinking the FF logo on the left and a big OutBack WoodShop logo on the right ;D

I'll check and see if I have that in the budget... :D

Bring me a full size fully restored duplicate of dat truck in your user pic and I'll do it. ;D
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Fla._Deadheader on February 29, 2004, 06:13:20 PM
  Yeah, the "Find-A" box might work. Not as big as the FF Logo, but, I ain't no Ar-teest ;D
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Kevin_H. on February 29, 2004, 07:01:02 PM
How big do ya need the pic?  ;D

Gloss or matte finish?

Dad tells me that truck is atleast 3 or 4 different vehicals made into one. So I'm thinking it was one of a kind

I think johnny cash sang a song about a car that was made like that. :D

Im really likin the new page finder and the "all" thing too. In the last little while I noticed its easier to read, like the print is a tad larger. Evolvin like a good story/sawmill/gonkulator armature :D
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: redpowerd on February 29, 2004, 07:49:11 PM
im thinkin more of a "veneer" theme. mabie some chrome around the borders. how bout a mouse trail of sawdust, that would really set the mood.

id like to see a bright campfire in the corner where everyone can come in and throw a log on. anything to slow my day/pc down ;)

anyway, ho hum, ill tolerate the forum as it is, ::)
a woodsmans friend ;)

oh, i like the "graze over" feature on the menu. makes it pretty slick.
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Norm on March 01, 2004, 04:30:28 AM
How about putting the FF logo on both sides and centering the bar?
Title: Re: Forestry Forum Format?
Post by: Jeff on March 01, 2004, 02:10:51 PM
Norm, that would look good. But. Smaller monitors would have problems with the width unless I made the logo smaller and I wanta make it BIGGER! ;D
