Title: Suggestions for improvements so far
Post by: Rioter on October 26, 2008, 12:07 AM
So this site has been live for about a week and a half, even though the forum is the only main function so far, any improvements that can be made?

Here's my short shortlist

> Raise the header - it is a bit, BIG
> Favourite Icon? (favicon.ico) - helps with my bookmarks
> Login/Register buttons to work? Maybe members up there at one point :)

There's one other suggestion I would say to MonkeyIsland, but a) it is not important at this time and b)I am sure it will happen in due course  ::) He probably knows as well, but hey I cant read minds

Please do put your suggestions in here as well

I don't get what's the matter with the header  :o
Maybe if you could post a screenshot and show what you mean...

I have no problem with the header, I like it. But I don't see a point having eye candy that is obstructing the view of the site. In this case, on the Dell desktop, it is about 1/3 of the top of the page. The acer laptop, it is half. I don't particularly want to keep scrolling just to view something which is just there for the eye candy.

Nudge me if you still dont get me and Ill upload screenshots

well, it fills 1/3 of the screen here also, but i dont think it takes the sight of the actual site... its just some background stuff and it fits quite good with that size. imagine standing at the beach looking straight towards the water and the sky will fill half of ur sight so why bother about 1/3 of ur sight? :P

1.You're the first one who's claiming the height of the header (Clouds part) is bothering him.
If people agree with you, I'll give people an height option in their profile, So that can set the size they like. If so, I'll have to give them the option to set the number of clouds they want up there too.

2. Sure the site will have favorite icon. But I think a little later. There are A LOT to do!
3. I have solved the login/register links. You won't sense it, until I upload the "Clans & Communities".
And members link will go up there. :)

I think it's ok , it fits with the whole site  :o

Chakkman, You're saying that it would be cooler if the clouds part was shorter?
If so that's 2! :)
Title: Re: Suggestions for improvements so far
Post by: chakkman on October 26, 2008, 09:24 PM
No its ok for me :) I think root said that it was too big, well its not the most important thing about this site imo ;)
Title: Re: Suggestions for improvements so far
Post by: Rioter on October 26, 2008, 11:25 PM
If it was shortened by 100 - 140 pixels then it would still be effective, and not as intrusive.

Just a suggestion
Title: Re: Suggestions for improvements so far
Post by: Rok on October 27, 2008, 03:24 PM
I agree. Cloud header should be half the size, imo. Cheers

ok, You won!

I'll make it after "Clans & Communities".

you should probably worry about how pretty the site looks after u get it running, i think the league and tourney section should be at the top of your list, it is the whole reason this site is here, just my thoughts tho  :)

Ye, height of the "clouds part" looks big comparing with this logo of "The Ultimate Site" that is now on. And this logo is small and not very nicely done imo.. U can't even see the whole letters cause it's "buried" like 1/10 under the "ground"... I think this logo deserves new font and new style, in other words - new logo. Imo it should "fly" in the air, and not to lie on the ground (like it is now), and then this header would not appear so empty and huge... I've spoke to MonkeyIsland about this over msn, but I would like to hear some more opinions.. (help me to convince him to do that! :P )

lol that sky stuff is gonna cause a world wide crisis soon xD i think its cool like it is tho, sry for posting my opinion a 100 times... thing is the ultimate site text seems to be optimized for the fruit terrain, thats y it looks bit weird on other terrains i guess

Let it on the ground but bigger letter maybe in the fruit style when background is fruit , beach for beach ...
Don't make it fly !!!

I took the ultimate design from Big billy's.  It is designed for fruit/forest template.
I agree with darkmaul, Ramone make it bigger, but not flying. It stands on the ground.

And as wormy as possible.

Thanks ^^

NAiL, If you want it to go there, Give me a full scheme explanation ;)

You can find what I want here in the first post :
https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/index.php?topic=32.0

Use Scheme register page to submit it :)

Post by: NAiL on November 25, 2008, 12:08 AM
oh ok thank ye friend, I did not read this before 8 )

I will create you an n1 scheme for BR and post it to you

Rules are simple:

Start on start, be the first to get to the finish by jumping and running.

Weapons may be used to hinder an opponant's progress, but they may not be used to boom yourself over objects (like boomrace) unless both players agree to it.

Draws occur when the player who started second finishes exactly 1 turn after the player who started before him.

Although draws are not very common in BR.

So many people here are my good friends doubletime. Especially darkmaul.
You were banned on old TuT, But not here Cause we are having a new fresh start.
As long as you stay clean, you are welcome on this site. Try not to bother any members, Especially the guys related to TUS from before in any kind.
Title: Re: Suggestions for improvements so far
Post by: Rioter on December 06, 2008, 11:46 PM
doubletime, you know why you were banned (mainly by Darkmaul) on TuT. (This is probably why you have evil karma)

I do feel that you should have a clean slate, just avoid any of the behavior that caused your demise last time.

To everyone else - Leave him alone!!! Yes he may well be a prick, but if you want to take it out on him, do it privately. (Unless he does something which deserves the retaliation squad)

And that's my two cents in the dt matter

Was that a hint of sarcasm and a dash of idiocracy I see?
