I like the idea of having the extra info there but change the colors, it makes the board look bland.

no, I can't install E-Blah on my own site. today I'm opening a new site, which will use E-Blah. I'm getting a new domain name, because pretty much, I'm closing "lmfaoforum.com" down and redirecting it to my friends site teen-foyer.net

I voted yes because the boards are split, But I don't like the 'threads & posts' underneath... it makes the forum bits far to deep. And IMO it would look better if those 'categories' went back to where they come from!

Justin,

You're welcome to use everything I did.. Martin has a copy, if not 'I'll send you one. It may need tweaking, but I'm pretty proud of what I did to make MY Eblah a little more 'exciting'..

Tweak it and give it a run... see what others think. And I'm glad to see you are making changes.

Yes, I agree with Ozi on this one. That's what is making E-Blah look so ugly.   I think it's the color I don't like, then when you click on a board, the layout COMPLETELY changes.

Well the cat breaks are very nice, but I wouldn't like to have the message/threads numbers down there, I liked the fact that you were able to check which board has the most posts just with one look.

And you still can see it all with one look.  The grid lines that were there before go against the natural flow of the eyes.  It does not make it seem too deep because now the board description has further space to stretch across the board - so it physically makes each board shallower.

The human eye likes to read from left to right without having to stop every five seconds to deal with a vertical line.

Ugly isn't a word I'd choose to describe E-Blah.  Innovative, dynamic and fresh are all positive words that should be used to describe the greatest BBS on the planet

Keep it Justin!

Thanks for all the feedback, I'll see what I can do.

Hi Justin,

I like the newer layout for the rows, that is the separations between Boards, but I definitely don't like the LACK of divisions for the columns.

Can you do a page that has the vertical divisions for the columns as before, but with the horizontal separations between the Boards as the newer version?

It's the old eyes you know, mumble, mumble, groan, mumble! where's me teeth dear and the magnifying glass, and I need my cocoa before bed at 8.30 p.m.  

regards

I still think that this is a better layout.. At least it doesn't look like a Zebra-Crossing.

And the 'art' work applies to all of the applets, not just the front page.

If anyone wants to use it on their forum ....

If anyone wants to make it an offical mod, here's the file to offiate it from.

Also, what about the new "Thread Summary" on the reply pages?  

Everyone okay with the look now?  

Looks better, but I don't see the need for the huge caps in the on/off icon area.

Better?

The new reply summary looks fine to me.

I like the design very much.
