March 2013 forum software & style updates

Post by matthew1 »

Please use the forum as you would normally. Do note that you may see display errors, meaning: things may shift, look weird, etc.

If you can't stand messy/shifting pages, please wait until Monday (in North America) to view or post here.

I will continue periodic updates in this subforum as things progress.


Thanks
Matt

I'm going to bed and I'll get a fresh start tomorrow. It's getting there.

Please note I will restore features like emailed topic replies and the latest posts marquee.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

No shifting but I hope this is not the final look.
It's washed out and bare looking, not enough contrast.
Perhaps some art around the edges??

JRL, you use AOL. You're the last person I'd ask for design advice.

I've been using FF for the past year.

What use or don't use makes no difference.
My house that I designed when I was 26 made it to the cover of House Beautiful, can you say the same?

Now back to MVS, perhaps if you banded the entire text area with the blue that you have on the top that would look nice and make the blue just a bit darker (you know more like Sonic Blue, more or less that shade).
Try it yourself, I'll bet you will like it

I'm planning an update push up to the server tonight. It's a loose-end tyer-upper. I'll post back to this topic when that is complete.

Thanks RM. Much time was spent finding/trying/buying/testing header and body fonts. Sizes, colors, you name it.

I miss the rolling new posts up top.
I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

They're all gone now....

Oh it's definitely easier (and more pleasant) to read, no problems there
