    Site Tweaking

    Postby PorpoiseMuffins on November 15th, 2010, 4:49 pm

    -I've added a full screen feature to the main site which makes it possible to view articles in a separate browser window for easier reading. The logo has also been spruced up a bit and links to the home page like it should.

    -The navigation tabs are now "sticky" so it's easier to tell what section you're in.

    -The continuity debate article is back with some major revisions. I'm still editing it and prettying it up with pictures, but I'm much more happy with how it reads.

    -Keep an eye out for a new article I have in the works, some new media, a features archive, and more mad site tweaking.


    EDIT: Thought it would be fun to go back to the old forum banner for a while :)

    I approve of this banner. It is awesome.

    I actually wonder, would it make the banners randomized? 'Cuz there are so many great banners we've had and I love them all and want to have access to them at all times. ^_^

    Glad you like it! It wouldn't be hard to randomize them. The only reason why I hesitate to do it is that it would mean loading 3 images instead of one, and for slower connections that could be a little annoying the first few times you change the page. Maybe it's not really worth worrying about.

    It kind of makes us look like a hacking community or something :lol:

    Perhaps a selectable banner option, then? Again, just a thought; I love all the banners we have and would simply like to keep 'em around if we can. ^_^

    I'll leave this one up for a while and then I'll either cycle back through them or put them on random. Unless I commission some new ones. This was the last one I had up my sleeve.
