I'm looking for some great ideas and colors for our
new forums . . . and I need to see yours!

(No, I won't be stealing your hard work, only trying to
get an idea of colors schemes, what works and what doesn't.)

Thanks for your help,

David

I think I have a pretty interesting scheme here - and if anything, UBBCHH swiped their scheme off me (for that period)! :D

http://www.magic-singles.com/cpa/ for the site
http://www.magic-singles.com/cpa/forums/ for the board

[David Copeland]

[b]I like the Black . . . although I may try a blue and
white tone for text.

Note: It really doesn't make any difference what colors
folks have chosen for their boards . . . just so long as
the colors work together!

I've seen greens, blacks, reds, yellow . . . all the
primary colors work well. But when colors are chosen
to work AGAINST themselves . . . then you end up with
mud and poor eyesight.

So if anyone has a talent in colorizing their board,
you should be proud of your artistic skills. I'd
love to see it!

Still, what I've seen looks sharp!

Thanks.

But thanks! Well i think my web host is in colorado but I'm physically in New York. I'm going for a new look very soon but I'm glad you like the old one! :)

I will probably have a more serious professional web site when I take web design/programming and art commissions. That's for later on though.

A good hint Dave is to use a wysiwyg html editor when matching up color. Composer is not too bad (imho better than frontpage). I personally use and favor Adobe Pagemill though. That along with Photoshop is an unbeatable web combo with the only drawback being the price tag...

I like the logout icon next to the five links icons. I just think that they all should not be on the same line. Seperate the icons like we have on this board. Top is profile, register, members. Bottom row is faq, search, home. It just is more appealing in my eyes, but I like the colors.

[b]You guys are too great.

I've been away from this board for a while,
busy getting our new host and forum tuned,
and I come back here to see a LOT of great
artistic talent.

Yesterday I got an email from a friend that
said one of the forums he's been on kept adding
banners, links, and a lot of other items to nearly
every page in the forum . . . to the point where
it looks like Time-Warner, with all the busy lights.

In his mind the ol' forum has too much of a
commercial look to it now. He said, "What's wrong
with having white real estate on each page? Do
they have to fill up EVERY blank spot with some
kinda icon or link?"

Any thoughts?

And as always . . . PLEASE post your new forum
links here so that I can visit them for color
and design ideas.

Thanks,

[GMTalk]

i created the frontpage look accidently when i created the store page at http://animeboards.net/store/ so i just decided i'd use it for the frontpage as well.

However, I would like to use Front Page

[/B][/QUOTE] nah... why would i do that :) ... not sure what you mean by tutorial for a frontpage... cause from what i've seen on your site you have that covered... your forum design is very cool... and must of taken ages to to do the template editing :eek:

for an easy way of cheating for your frontpage is to create a blank index.shtml file and use a SSI call to your /vb/index.php directory so going to the domain will bring up the forums...

[ukliam]

I can do all the html, but it is the pulling of the data from the php files:

craete an index.shtml file and use a SSI call to your /vb/index.php


That is what I would have trouble with :)
I am new to all this, what is an SSI call, and how do u use it to get the data displayed on the main page?

I think perhaps this is a little off topic, so if you could email me a little more info.... that would help a lot.

The forums I help administer can be found at http://www.sitepointforums.com/. We are currently in the process of integrating the forums more into the look and feel of the main site at http://www.sitepoint.com/.

The forums have a White background with a blue and orange color scheme.

Still have some button work to do, and some tweaking here or there.... but I think it looks fairly good.

I have the avatar hack and a news hack installed on it.

I set it up to report keep track of who is online across my entire network of sites, so the "Guests" are actually anyone viewing any page of my site, not just the board.

I wanted to make the boards a more integrated part of the site, so I thought that helped with that.

BenS,

I remember that layout of yours.. heh :) DeveloperDesk had that contest where they design you a new layout and you gave them free hosting or something.

If I make you a logo for your company, will you give me free hosting forever? I'd only need like 5MB of space.

[JenniferS]

it's very new and would appreciate memberships, if you're into digital art and that sort of thing.

JenniferS:

Very interesting layout. I do like how it looks. Very nice site.

[BenS]

I go away for a week, and I see two people want to talk to me! How sweet :)

David:
I'm not 100% sure what you mean there. Can you please a tad more specific?

Fred:
We don't need a new logo (we're having a new site done soon), but I'd be willing to help you out if need be. Send me an email at: bens@nospam.veoweb.net (take out the nospam.)

Glad you guys liked it ;)

[Fred]

Jennifer, that layout scares the hell out of me. lol

It's too "weird" for me to use it. I mean, with the clouds going through the text, now thats nuts.

Excellent job on the way it looks.

I might as well add my site....this is a gaming site dedicated to a Unreal Tournament Server named Ad's NIUT Server (http://www.islandncs.com/ad/) and we are starting to include Tribes and possibly Diablo. Bear in mind the site is far from complete, once vb2.0 and phpnuke4.4 comes out then I will complete it. I have also implemented wajones' nuke2vb and added my own links and download sections which will be incorporated into the next nuke2vb release. The links and downloads section have unlimited category depth as well as a rating system similar to dblinks from Gossamer Threads. While your there please sign our guestbook. Thx.

Glad you like them. Was a real pain to get them all up and running. The basic ones are contained in some thread here in the graphics area. I edited the color by just replacing the original blue. Then I resized them all so that they were exactly the same length -- you may not want to do this but I like button size consistency. Then I added some extra transparency area to act as a spacer. I changed the "Profile" or "User CP" icon to "My Stuff" since it seems to make more sense and most of my users won't know what the hell a "CP" is.

That's it!
