View Full Version : New Header of Forums

Yes, it's true, you're not going insane. I changed the header to match the one I made for the main site. It should be obvious, but I know that someone would have made 2 or 3 threads about this anyway, so please hold all discussion about it here.

haha. wow

i was going crazy thinking "wtf?? i can't see said header"

then i go to forever blue... lol nice

Kiros

Yeah, I guess it should be mentioned that it's only for the Forever Blue style because that's the... uhh... "premier" style of VirtualTeen.

I don't see the difference lol I must be blind.

Kiros

Again, it's only for the Forever Blue style - not the vBulletin Style or Silver Blue.

Some browsers are awfully stubborn with caching, so you may have to hit the refresh button.

Bug report.
In Internet Exporer (:eek:) the new header seems to throw everything out of wack.
Screen:
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/xbox360922/Bugperhaps.jpg

As you can see, the VT banner covers up a bunch of important links which makes it hard to navigate through the site.

In Firefox it displays fine. :)

Just thought you should know about the IE bug.

Kiros
August 17th, 2008, 11:36 AM
That's odd. I've been using Internet Explorer and Opera to test it.

That shouldn't happen because of the ad division. What version of Internet Explorer are you using and do you have any ad-blocking software?

Well I think it looks awesome, makes the site look new again =D

Jesse
August 17th, 2008, 11:43 AM
I'm using IE8 Beta 1. I've tried it in both IE7 Emulation mode, and in IE8 mode. Both get the same result. And I disabled my ad-blocking software because that was my first thought, that it could be messing things up.

Kiros
August 17th, 2008, 11:46 AM
Jesse, I think it might be because of the beta version of IE8. It could also be ad-blocking because the division name is with a class of "advert." So I put in another division to try and fix this issue.

Please tell me if you're still getting this rendering error.

Jesse
August 17th, 2008, 11:48 AM
Nope. It's fixed.
Thanks dude. :)

I think I'll be hated for this but... Something makes it look ...retro. I don't know. I'm weird like that. But I liked the old one. Also change is good, so I'm not too disappointed.

I don't see how the font and positioning of the text makes it unprofessional. At any rate, it's good to see some honest opinions.

It ties in with the home page
It's easy to read
It has prominent links to important areas of the site
It's good

It takes up less space than the old header ._.

Never mentioned positioning.. The main problem is the lack of borderlining..

I think anyone who really knows design would agree with me but it isn't awful or anything

And you did get an honest opinion :P

It looks great Ben. I can see you've put a lot of effort into it, and the home page really did need updating. The header looks great with the forums though, and the links are easy to see, great for new members looking for the right place to post.

I preferred how it used to be. But oh well, just means that I'll use either the vBulletin or Silver Blue from now on.
