Site update?

[adam1589]

The buttons up top are changing, I guess this means the site is gonna get a visual update huh?

The new look of the buttons is nice guys!

*switches to V4 to see what he's talking about*

Oh wow, that looks a lot better than the old ones! They stick out a lot more, and compliment the entire theme as a whole. I almost expected them to glow when I ran the mouse over them.

*switches back to V3*

Ah I tend to always forget about the verisons lol.

And yes B-Cannon, you're right they do compliment the red/blue theme perfectly, nay, they compliment it much better than the old blue buttons to the point that this is the new era lol!

Oooh, yeah, I was working in V3 and didn't notice as well until you pointed it out. There are new videos in the Main Gate, too, new videos in the TvC section, and a new MvC3 section. And is it just me or does that homepage image look somewhat more detailed than it did a few months back?

[adam1589]

Glad I posted then. At first I thought my thread'd receive some negative replies, but I can wipe my brow with relief now lol.

Yeah, he updated the image not too long ago. I hadn't noticed it in a while either since I've been using the main site in V3 mode as well; I love the whole "winter" theme going on there.

I'm glad the new V4 buttons have been well-received. Proboards adding the new "New Topics" button up there forced me into adding said button for most of the skins and while working on them it occured to me that I've always been dissatisfied with the ones I had for V4. Alas, no more!

TEH LOLZ! Nobody bothers to tell me that I forgot to change it back to normal after last Christmas? XD Well, sorry to have to go and change it right after you said you liked it BC. You can have the snow back in a few months.

(EDIT: ah crap, beaten to it)

Those are some nice buttons. I still can't stand the V4 color-scheme though. >.<

Wonder what made fAB decide to do that. My guess is it was because of the need for a New Topics button. (EDIT: hey, I was right)

[adam1589]

The V4 color scheme just has too much dark blue, even the lighter blues are dark, it's kinda like the scheme was based of of medium-dark MML Trigger.

However the addition of the reds give the giant Reaverbot eye in the logo some more welcoming attire, which is always good.

I would say I'd like to see some lighter blues but that's not my place since i know nothing of coding on proboards. Still it might make V4 easier to bear with...

[Pitch]

I agree almost completely about using lighter shades of blue.. Actually, if you hax the V3 colors on top of the V4 layout, you have something that looks kind of neat. >.<

I have to say, though, the red buttons make a lot more sense. It makes all the other reds in the V4 layout look less out of place IMO..

[adam1589]

That image is kinda what i want to be honest, but likewise in what i want, when viewing threads, the fields for avatar would also be paler blues as well which would make V4 more set up to match Triggers deep and baby blues on his armor.

[Pitch]

This is going a bit way off topic. The same hax does alter the colors elsewhere, but it doesn't work quite as well.

Still, I'd be more inclined to actually use V4 if it weren't such depressing shades of blue. I suppose it's all really just a matter of opinion though, and I'm more than happy to stick with V2 and V3.

It's kind of surprising that V4 is still in the works on the main site. I'm wondering how soon after V4 is finally declared "finished" will fAB start rolling out V5.

EDIT: After poking around the other versions I've found that V2 is the only one that doesn't have a new "New Topics button yet. What gives? >.< xD

i won't share what i think.

but would humbly offer my services if the opportunity ever presented itself.

*side note: does any one know by chance if a content management system (such as joomla! or drupal) is being used for the regular site? or is just HTML/CSS?
