Comment on the new look!

[Zerg_eater]

I seriously think it's freakin awesome! how about you guys?

[Black.Ice]

Reminds me of the old school WB header. Looks great.

I hated the one that we had before, it always looked like it was clipped off the screen, heh.

[Battlecruiser]

If my memory serves me correctly, this is actually the old look.

EDIT: Yup, it was. Here is how warboards looked in June of 2004.

[Black.Ice]

I believe you're right. This is the second header, if I remember correctly. The first one was a double ball on each side or something. :/

[ZeratulStukov]

Oh, the only thing that has been changed was that thing in the upper part of the screen... which pisses me off, I HATE WARCRAFT !!!!!

[Schwitzer]

It's the old-school look, which has by far being my favourite out of all of them.

[DoctorZettabyte]

It's a great look, and I like the slightly darker feel to it. My only complaint is that it's too big. Is someone making a new theme right now, or are we being good people and recycling? :P

You do realize that A) there are more than just Warcraft slides, and B) Warboards was originally the forum for Warcraft.org, right?

[ZeratulStukov]

A) Yeah, there is only ONE photo of Nova (SC: Ghost)
B) Nope, didn't know that... and I'm glad it's not anymore

[Kankuro4800]

My only complaint is that it's too big.

I think it's too small. In terms of width. Its not wide enough.
Also, before this change, I could click on the word "Warboards" to go back to Warboards home. Now I can't anymore T_T

Yup... Another -1 point :)

[AJ]

for the record, we are, have always been and will continue to be the official forum for warcraft.org.

we represent the ORG network, not just starcraft.org.
thanks for stopping by. ;)

[ZeratulStukov]

Yeah... But it's not fair.... A lot of WC photos, only 1 SC photo, and NO diablo photo :( :(

[DoctorZettabyte]

So? It was only launched yesterday (I assume), so give it time to get better. Not everything is so perfect right off the bat. Also, this was used a long time ago, and some of the images might not be in rotation anymore. Let the administrators and moderators do what they need to do -- these forums, and the internet as a whole, are best defined as a work in progress.

I for one think its a great look. who cares if there isn't a Diablo picture or only one SC picture? Be thankful there's anything like that at all -- forums can be and are a lot one than WarBoards. I'd love to see more of this style at some point in the future.

[Zerg_eater]

Well, to me, I can't go back to home anymore because I used to click on the warboards logo on top so i could get back T_T, now anymore. oh well
edit: wait what the hell? did i already post this?

[The_Maker]

I'm personally glad that the old look is making a partial return. I still remember when the Starcraft section had images in circles for the sub-forums.

[DoctorZettabyte]

For all you whiners out there: here's a simple method:

Hope that helps. Now quit your whining, please. You're sounding like eleven and twelve year olds.

Oh, wait, you are. Naptime, kids!

-DocTera

[Jimmy_the_saint]

Who says we aren't?

Anyway. I like the "new" (read: old) look. Looks dark and brooding.

[Neo]

Hey AJ is there a PSD Template for the header? I'd be happy to whip up some extra headers, there only seems to be about 5 (?)

it looks really fucking sexy by the way

[TheOutcast]

I think so too. Warboards is now sexy.

I too would like to see some extra headers, and offer to make some.

[Ktan]

Yeah... But it's not fair.... A lot of WC photos, only 1 SC photo, and NO diablo photo :( :(

ZeratulStukov, writes his exciting new story, a tale of trials and tribulations, of undying loves and prejudices:

Buy it now!

[DoctorZettabyte]

"...In other news, local resident and moderator Ktan has filled the hole with ZeratulStukov still inside. It is still unclear if ZeratulStukov is alive at this point. Rumor has it that the hole was filled with infractions and negative rep, but this is still unconfirmed. More on this story when Justified Scapegoats at Six returns..."
/satire

Keep up the good work, staff! I'd love to see more of this, and I do like the slightly darker overtones!

"Breaking news!!! Doctor Zettabyte, our not-so-beloved reporter went to fin out what happened with ZS and the hole. It turns out the hole was somehow empty, and a crazy cheese monkey pushed Doc' inside the hole, and burried him alive, along with a cheesy banana... We'll sure miss you Doc'.... or maybe not... Comming up: Can AJ give negative rep? A recent opinion-poll says that yes, he can..."

[DoctorZettabyte]

About the template:

Are these all just graphics files? Or are they actually coded into the site? If they were simple graphics files, that's a quick Photoshop job right there. If they're not...I'll try to provide some insight into the wonderful world of...colorizing? :P
If they are images, I'll gladly oblige to try put my mediocre talents to work. Blue? Not a problem. Translucent or glassy red? Easy. My only worry is losing motivation halfway through!
I do enjoy Photoshop though, so I'll try to finish it.

-DocTera

Contemporary black? Not a problem.

[Neo]

It would be nice to see the Orb on the right be changed to just a solid color (or actually, something more like a greenish color for warcraft, bluish color for starcraft, and a reddish color for diablo)

But I assume there is a template of the base header that just been modified to create the different versions =p

-Neo

[Basan]

I think so too. Warboards is now sexy.

It wasn't? :angel:

Although the idea seems nice I on the other hand would like to keep the new topics/posts associated with a single colour.

As for the new headers, I really like how they look. :tup: Given that it randomly rotates from page to page you get to then you're bound to see pictures from all Blizz' universes that the ORG Network follows or have followed (i.e., SC: Ghost). ;)

Basan we were talking about the blue "orb" up top in the header (theres a gryphon in it I believe).

The red/blue/green would just be the orb changing colors, ie: blue for starcraft-themed headers, or red for diablo themed.

[Basan]

If that was it Neo, then I'm all for it. Maybe a specific game picture watermark alongside that colour swap. Afterall we must give AJ something to keep him busy. ;)
