So, what do you think of the new site? - Page 3

Sigh...I miss the computer my dad had running a double boot of some version of Linux and Windows XP. One day it just wouldn't boot and he hasn't had time to fix it, so I'm stuck using Internet Exploder, with a non-administrative account so I can't visit half of the websites I want to. I liked Firefox, since I like to have multiple windows open at a time.

tekajo · 12-16-2005, 11:36 PM

i'm looking at the site on both IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0.4.
Still fairly narrow on Firefox, actually it's damn near identical to IE.

Not a problem though, just thought i'd point that out.

(for the non booting dualboot computer..pop in the XP cd, go to the repair console, login to the Admin account and type fixmbr at the DOS prompt, that'll fix it..maybe)

I might try that, but I'm afraid of getting yelled at. And sadly, I don't know command line. o.o;

ThwanCondu · 12-17-2005, 12:19 AM

Change! How exciting! Narrow, but exciting!

butterflyfearie · 12-17-2005, 04:28 PM

Likeing it lots. looks like one of my Nana's doilies, but it works.
for all you americans out there a doilie is a circle of lace old ladies in england use to put under thier plates when having tea and scones.

winged_dreams · 12-17-2005, 04:35 PM

I was like whoa...this certainly is interesting. At least the site's back up. That's good.

rubedo · 12-17-2005, 09:38 PM

dudes and ladies---i have been absent for at least two weeks and now...
anyways good job on the design choice-even if it feels a litttle squished and kills my eyes. good times and good nights

edible_eye · 12-17-2005, 09:45 PM

doilies are fuckin' hot.

i'd fuck a doilie.

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-17-2005, 10:47 PM

Don't know if anyone noticed but they made the column wider. *thumbsup* I likey.

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-17-2005, 10:51 PM

This site is teh sexay!

(as well as everyone on it of course)

Gothic.net · 12-17-2005, 11:16 PM

Ok, how are the columns now?

I think we've located the problem that was making them super thin in IE, and then widened them a bit more from there as well. Also got a chance to change how the banners fall, so the pages don't bounce around.

xXambivalenceXx · 12-17-2005, 11:20 PM

I like it, the columns are perfect now!

Cool, thanks. Fixed a number of the indicators.

edible_eye · 12-17-2005, 11:50 PM

column width = perfect.

ohthefuckwell · 12-18-2005, 12:04 AM

i'll admit i'm still getting used to it.

but i would like to ask if we can bring back the "jump to" box at the bottom of the page. that would be neat-o.

Manimal · 12-18-2005, 09:21 AM

I think the border on the left side needs to be removed. This way the useable working space would be enlarged and the attractive wide pattern on the right edge of the page can remain intact.

Otherwise I love the new look and feel of the site. Excellent work!

Nardol · 12-18-2005, 10:08 AM

It's finally back! Wunderbar! I like the background.

Scythan · 12-18-2005, 10:16 AM

I liked Rep Points. Why were they removed?

violent sex addict · 12-18-2005, 10:31 AM

i dint really go on dis site so i dint no da old one but its cool ne way

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-18-2005, 11:30 AM

Great job mods. The site is much cooler now.

And also I don't know if anyone noticed, but PM's have been turned back on it seems.

Lovely_Mary · 12-18-2005, 03:00 PM

I didn't have a chance to see much of the old site anyways, I mean I'm still a very new member. I do really like the new site because it looks more formal and isn't as plain like it was before.

rockandrose · 12-18-2005, 05:53 PM

When I first logged onto g.net, I was a bit astonished and confused to what i thought of the new changes to the site. I can now opinionate. I suppose the background is quite nice, and I originally didn't really like the fact that the columns were too thin for my likely, as reading a post that was awfully long, seem pretty annoying. I'm also actually beginning to adjust myself to the new scenery here on g.net, and the new literary feel to the site is a good improvement.

talon · 12-18-2005, 07:03 PM

This is awesome! The colour scheme kicks arse, and now we know whether someone is online or offline, I like that.

slipshodsally · 12-20-2005, 12:25 AM

I think it looks much classier. I miss the 'jump to' at the bottom of the threads too!

Corpus_Draconis · 12-20-2005, 08:40 AM

I love the new look. The pattern is awesome, too. I do think that if we removed the column of pattern on the left side, it would look.... Maybe not. It wuold be interesting to try though.

And I've fallen in love with the title picture at the top.

It did take me by surprise when I logged on today. mmmm... I like it though. Good work.
