Sam Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I have just released a new version of our home page (e46zone.com). Functionality is pretty much the same, but it is a fresher look of the site. I will be adding to it over the next few weeks/months, but I wanted to get the design out there. I'd like to use the image banner as a 'random' garage or gallery. Or maybe a build topic link. Please use this topic for discussions, issues or any suggestions. If you're struggling to see the new design, press CTRL +F5 on the page, it'll do a full reload.

mit Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks ok. The colours don't really go well together and the photo looks distorted. Makes little difference to me as I only come in via my view new posts link anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks good. Nice to see my car on the page too Ha.

bungers Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Looks a bit better, waiting to test the mobile version. Couple of things: 1. Can we have a longer list of recent posts on the left & the last user who updated, as before? 2. There's a typo - My Gallary' 3. Can 'My Gallery' actually take me to mine, rather than yours Sam?

RickyZ Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks much nicer Sam, not sure the red text bits work though - hard to see against the black background - if you want to use a different colour maybe try yellow against the black ?

bungers Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Can you put back the auto refresh on the recent topics too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Can you put back the auto refresh on the recent topics too? I've put back a auto refresh, but its a very primitive way of doing it, hence why it went in the first place. I'll keep it on for now, and replace it with AJAX when I have time. ETA: Easier than I thought, it now runs via AJAX, so a lot less load on the server and quicker too Edited November 4, 2013 by Sam bungers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
