New Forum Menu On-line

[Phillip]

I just updated our forum templates in order to accommodate the new Flash menu Jamie designed.

Let us know what you think and if you notice any issues with the new menu and the forum working together. We'll be tweaking it some the next few minutes.

When I first saw it I was confused. But now I'm not.

Very nice!

Is it supposed to be fading in and out like that ? I didn't notice the others doing that. It's very nice !

This one fades. A little variety. You may now link to all areas of the site. I like how this integrates the site and forum. Something that could not be done as well on Delphi.

I think the fade is a little too slow. Bringing in a fade isn't a bad idea, but making it slow on a forum page which people flip through like 20 a minute means people are continually seeing black space at first. I like the choice of characters, very colorful and contrasting and the way things like 'Calendar' and 'Faq' has been integrated is very cool. The curtain effect is very cool too but i think it being part of the fade up looks wierd !

Geez, the fade is a fraction of a second! I think on some systems that portion of the page is taking longer to load for some reason. It's the only explanation We will look into it. This is likely a temporary menu for the next few months.

Actually Jamiekins, it may well be because i'm on a slow connection because it all seems faster once it's in the cache. Even though the header loads fast, it seemed to make the fade more than a few seconds and also meant the white part of the curtain effect appeared a lot later than the rest of the forum. Nothing major - it's a lovely header - y'know how picky Muppet fans are. Don't worry, i'll get over it one day !

 

[frogboy4]

Fixing that. Didn't see the white version up yet. Thanx for telling me.

The fade is sliced in half. You almost don't even notice anymore, but it is important that the users feel comfortable and apparently this was an issue. I'm just glad it's finally up. LOL!
