-- New site version! (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=50953)


Posted by Dwaggy on 12-03-2004 12:05 PM:

New site version!

K so, new version, most of the launch bugs have been ironed out.

The new site features 3 Stylesheets you can choose from, "Grunge/Red" which is the default one currently, "Sleek/Blue", and "Classic" , which is pretty much the old style.

Later on we'll just set up a vote once i've ironed out the bugs, and set up every feature the old site had

Feature loss list:
* vcdreview needs to be incorporated.

Also, If anyone is clever and knows how to design sites via CSS, feel free to create your own theme and submit it to me, if its not crap, i'll add it in! (Be sure to account for banners and such!)

If anyone can point out site breaking bugs , or even a minor one, that'd be grreeeat..

Later on we'll set up a poll deciding upon the default stylesheet! Mob rule for the masses!

Hokay, enjoy!

I think it looks a little takcy, especally the top bit that says VCDQUALITY.

But then someone worked hard for it, and I dont come here to see how pretty the site looks so i got no complaints :P


Posted by KnightOfTears on 12-03-2004 01:29 PM:

Question Nice change!!

One question however....are the console rip sections gone for good?


Posted by t8yman on 12-03-2004 01:31 PM:

Thumbs up

I like it


Posted by davey_fl on 12-03-2004 01:35 PM:

you need to change the background color or change the color of the text for movies/group/release date etc on the mainpage, it's impossible to read. white text on a light grey background is not good! other than that, the redesign is a+ in my books


Posted by zoro25 on 12-03-2004 01:42 PM:

No liking it

No longer displays number of new posts/addiotions under each section.

Posted by Paul Skinback on 12-03-2004 01:48 PM:

Yup Looks Real Good :-)


Posted by Kolobos1 on 12-03-2004 02:08 PM:

colour scheme

Change is good but i wouldn't have used the colour scheme, a little to dark and not easily read.


But a change is always good


Posted by Furius on 12-03-2004 02:27 PM:

Not sure if I like it or not, but who cares, the site will still achieve the same purpose


Posted by MR_Weir on 12-03-2004 02:42 PM:

Old style way better imo, but my opinion doesn't mean shit here.

Posted by acdcfanbill on 12-03-2004 03:32 PM:

yea i liked that kickass picture that used to be at the top, but well, the look of a site such as this isnt gonna stop one from using it


Posted by Dwaggy on 12-03-2004 03:37 PM:

but oh no, the old style is now something you can choose to use!

Now all your whining about the new style can cease.

Posted by a r e s ! on 12-03-2004 04:07 PM:

I like the new design and the ability to make skins for the page. The new standart looks quite good, but not perfect, rating 8/10

I saw a year ago a poll on the site for a new site design, and the advise to mail ideas. I made sth., but where too lazy to finish it and drop a mail. My concept was to make a simple design that is based on the original, but without the boring grey in grey colors.

Here is what i made, it's quite old, from 08-07-03





Perhaps you can use it. If you are interested pm me and copy the colors with photoshop into the CSS style and I send you the banner of the top, cause I've got no clue of CSS atm.

I have to agree with zoro here. I really do like the new scheme, but would like to have the new posts displayed.

It looks good but the red text is a bit a strain on the eye on the grey background.

Blue or a lighter shade of red may work well.

Not really into CSS but I have some good hex colour values which you could use.

Being able to see the number of posts/additions would be great too.

Posted by slutObar on 12-03-2004 08:21 PM:

Skins

I use a tv for a monitor so all text is a bit blurry but those bold red fonts I couldn't read. Classic skin available .
No worries ? Wait ! That page is no longer correctly arranged.
Scroll down about a foot for the list. LOL


Posted by Dwaggy on 12-03-2004 08:27 PM:

added a cleaner, blue style.. Go looky and stuff.

slutObar... Refresh.

Good work guys

Posted by LOLobo on 12-04-2004 04:14 AM:

You know what . . .

At first I didn't like the change, but being that everything was incorporated of the old.

I fuckin' love it.

Grunge will do. Especially for the RED highligting of shit I have not seen.

Dwaggy, I salute you. (in a good way)

I dig it. Much appreciation.
Constructive criticism: I like the grudge scheme but not the red. And I like the blue color, but not the header.
Maybe a hybrid? Grunge/blue? I haven't an idea where to start making a skin.

Toothpicks with the little frilly things on 'em? I'm for it!

Edit:
Ooh ooh! I think I found a bug. When you click on the rls type, it doesn't pop.
I disntincly remember pops!

Thats pretty ace, with stylesheets there's no set width or height for anything really, the side menu has to be atleast 120x for the tower ads though.

Ares, I'll go look through now then! You are correct, i never look at those damn pm's

I'm making another that has the dimensions of the current site, ill post it in a bit.

http://img15.exs.cx/img15/6462/p7hvcdq2.jpg
(click link, its too big to thumbnail)


heres a sample of the new one, its probally easier to work with than the last one

i tried to make it match the grey skin of the forums a bit.

Posted by a r e s ! on 12-05-2004 04:41 AM:

I like your first sample much better Bad_Boy. And it is possible to realise it with CSS. If you like I can try to realise a similar concept of mine with such a silver, black style.


Posted by Bad_Boy on 12-05-2004 05:14 AM:

thanks, a r e s !.

i just wish i still had the stock photo for that first one i made, otherwise it would be pretty easy i suppose. but right now, the ads wont fit

id be glad to send somebody the psd if they think they can make it work. i cant code for shit, so im out of luck :\

thx again.

edit:

ack!
spoke too soon lol.

i found the stock image(thx google), so i started making the dimensions a bit larger to fit everything. heres how it came out.

we should have a featured skin of the month or something like that, and default skin can be that one then... i dunno. great idea for doing this dwagster, mystics got one done too i think he's been trying to get hold of you anyway.

heh, yeah.. The amount of visitors the site gets prevents us from going bonkers with the gfx, trying to limit the overall style to 35kb is a good thing.

who created the title for dark? im interested in knowing how it was done, it looks pretty c00 ;/

I created Dark and VCDCity :x

Dark was basically a grey background with some nifty brushes.

rating system fixed, apparantly i fucked it up! Hooray!

Test it out and stuff, and tell me about other bugs 'n stuff



Dunno if it's been mentioned (other than by me in the chan the other day) but the first comment posted on a release isn't noted. If there's only one comment on release it still shows as "0 posts". When there are two comments it'll jump up to "2 posts".
