BRAND NEW LOOK!

Postby Seb » Sat Jul 17, 2010 6:37 am

We've just launched a brand new look to the main DWFO site!

A complete move away from the past - we're embracing the TARDIS! Hop to http://www.drwhofigures.co.uk to see it in action now!

It's 3:30am as I write this - so I'm going to call it a night and come back to work on it when I wake up! Some some bits here and there might not work properly, and I've got a few more surprises in store, but I'll get it all set up tomorrow!

Let your feedback fly in! I'll see you later today for more!! 8D

Very nice Seb, love it! Love the way the TARDIS is incorporated into the background!

Can't wait for the rest.
Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Oh, You've redecorated. I don't like it.

:P

Seriously, It's beautiful, not to keen on clicking the top of the Tardis to take you back to the home page though...
Oh dear, I've lost my signature again.

At last I can talk about it!

I think the TARDIS header is just inspired. Adds so much character! I also love the banner that changes every time you come on. And everything else to be honest! Love it all!

The new site is amazing and also when I clicked on the secret BW section it had the new layout.

It is amazing - well done Seb! :D

I wondered 15 mintues ago what had happened to the logo of the forum. It's very good and gives the blue theme a reason now.

I can't see the logo and for some reason the site and forum just took ages to load.

Ah - the vanishing logo is a Safari only problem (I think...?). Just refresh the page (on Sarari make sure you press the refresh button in the address box) and the new logo should appear.

This problem won't hang around too long - just some browers having trouble updating the images.

As for a slow forum... Think that might be at your end a64, as I'm having no problems...? Anyone else?

As to this new forum logo - what do people think? The old one was pushing the top part down I realised (remember how it was too tall - the image started repeating itself?) so this solves the problem.

Also encourages using our 'external site links' - something I shall discuss shortly...!

I'm not struck personally. It just seems to busy in my opinion. I'd have it something like this:

Larger, without the bottom text and with the 'Figures Online Forum' further away from the 'DW'. (Not pixelated obviously)

Nice to have it updated though!

EDIT: Wow, I love it how our feedback is always listened to! Seb you are just brilliant!

Haha - noticed already!

I thought it was too wordy as well, so I've played around - looking at your suggestions and what I think works - and I think this is much better. Any more thoughts on it?
