Facelift

kj · 2nd June 2006, 03:40 PM

Ok so i have a shitload of updates to do to the site due to me being a lazy bastard...

One thing i was thinking of doing was a makeover for the site, a few new styles etc. What do you guys think? Do you like the simplicity of the existing design or would you like the option of a fancy pants version of the site like we used to?

Some examples of skins i'm looking at can be found here... i've used these people before and i like their work.

Option 2 pulees

New designs can help, even if many people stick to the current design I'd imagine a swish new design may help.

Bring back UGS Trenz compact.

That was the shit.

i really ought to check what i've just typed, especially when i change mid sentence because then the cat ran over tree and i disagree but frying pan? proof reading was never one of my specialties.

what about the last time when you were able to pick between 4 or 5 designs to have the one you prefer?

kj · 2nd June 2006, 07:03 PM

Livi, thats what option two is

**Livi** · 2nd June 2006, 07:21 PM

lol aye! just noticed it haha

kj · 2nd June 2006, 07:24 PM

that looks like the winner so far. I'm going to try and get a few new styles that'll suit most of the people on the site. I'm trying to get a cleaner look to the site for when i give it another promo push, a music needed one at that too i feel.

There might already be +I'm too thick to realise, but could you have a style that doesn't include user pics, signatures and all that bumf? I like browsing on my mobile, but it woild be ace if it was quicker.

kj · 3rd June 2006, 05:28 PM

ah i see. in your profile you can actually turn off images etc

i'll see if i can get a mobile skin that we used to have. Good suggestion Starla.
