OK so list off the things you like and dont like.


Personally I dont like the blue text while writing a post. Im gonna change that soon.

I like the layout and I like how the Avatars, Name and Rank are up above the post.

New layout looks good. It was time for an update. However, the banner is a bit on the dark side and you can't see everyone clearly.

Edit: Can i get my little "CKD Member" stamp?

I like the new layout. The old one was really outdated. My only suggestion would be to move the FFXI section above the Off topic section... but that's just me cause I hate scrolling down haha.

I like this layout, but this is alot of scrolling. The pic at the top is huge, alot bigger than most forums pic at the top. It still looks good though, just don't want to make the pic out of proportion either. It was stretched before haha. Forums definitely needed an update.

I definitely love the new logo, Awesome job Ket!

Layout is cool too, but I don't like how it boxed up each individual posts, makes it looks a little funny and too simple. I'm no Mac Retard..

I had to make the banner slightly taller. It was like 220 pixels high before and i took it to 300. If I kept the banner the size it was I would have had to zoom out the character images even more than they are. And you kinda lose the effect when you can't make out who anyone is.

The brightness is fine on all of my computers. You guys need new monitors. :P I'll make it brighter when I update it later though if people keep complaining.

300 pixels high shouldn't be a problem unless you're still using 800x600 screen resolution. And if you are, throw your PC away right now and get a new one.

looks good except the thread layouts should have avatars on the side again or something. Kinda annoying to read past them when scrolling down.


Left side of the page needs a darker colored line like the right side imo too haha.

I like it, change is good. but the thread layouts are a little tough, cause it makes each post look like a seperate message and difficult to speed read through them. that's just my concern.

now as for the layout overall >> it's just doesn't have enough contrast, 3 shades of blue(two light, one medium dark) and white. just difficult contrast to see the stuff without focusing hard enough.

I agree with Hcc here, I dont like the way its boxed up. Maybe squish the posts together a bit more too?

Author:  Yarr [ Fri Jan 13, 2006 1:55 pm ]
Post subject: 

Its really different thats for sure. I think its easier to see who's saying what.

Gonna leave it for a little and try to make small changes. Ill see if I can bring the posts closer together.

I do like the new rank icons ;p I need to make new CKD member ranks.

Post subject: 

i like the old design, it felt and looked more "professional"

this one is easier on my cell phone though heh. Resizes well to a 2" monitor if that means anything to you lol.

avatar on the side would be cool but i like how post are separated now.

Author:  Dmitry [ Fri Jan 13, 2006 10:14 pm ]
Post subject: 

Yeh, I'm not a big fan of the avatar being on top of the message, maybe if you could have the messages closer together like they were it'd be easier to read through instead of being distracted by the avatar, ranking, etc that's now in between.

But don't listen to me, I'm nobody D;

Post subject: 

ok well lemme start off with this, i like the new style

with the exception of the way the posts are set up, first i hate the blue, it makes my vip member tag look like shit, and i liked it better when it showed up on the side, i like how the posts are separated though

another thing is the color choice for the template, i dont like how there are the 2 gray strips with the white center, i like the light blue strips and a gray or white center, or a gray on gray, it just looks choppy the way it is now, but i do, like the buttons, there a little small but small is beautiful
