Blair Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) E46zone.com Why is it grey and boring (the forum is blue)? It's certainly not inviting? Why doesn't it feature random pics of our cars or links to the next forum event? Not a pop (for once) just stumbled on it & thought how dull.

Sam Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes, I know. Dull old front page I call it. I do want to do something with it, but not sure what. Sketches will be welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a doing a competition design the front page? There are some creative soles on here and it might even be fun ngy and Gaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Not a bad idea. Would it need a prise, I don't like giving things away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I doubt any of the core site members would need/want a prize just the chance to do something for the site would be enough. You could offer not to moderate for a week that would be a prize for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 The only good thing about the front page is that when I'm at work, people think it's some sort of work software on my screen ! I do agree it could do with a revamp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossuss Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just let them have a bit of credit in the footer, I certainly would be happy with that Blair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I am still waiting for a really simple work-friendly theme that doesn't show pics until you hover over them and stuff... Never access the site via the front page, just have the link to 'view new posts' stored as a favourite Wash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Souls Prize It will take a kind soul to prise the style of the front page from Sam's clutches. Edited January 10, 2013 by mit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Feel free guys! Throw some ideas down if you wish, I'm happy to do it myself, or get someone to knock up a design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never access the site via the front page, just have the link to 'view new posts' stored as a favourite Quite like the idea of that as it's difficult browsing through the zone and you have Daz's avatar there (a lady wearing an M vest with cold/hard nipples) right as your boss or someone else walks past! mit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Quite like the idea of that as it's difficult browsing through the zone and you have Daz's avatar there (a lady wearing an M vest with cold/hard nipples) right as your boss or someone else walks past! Can you not turn avatars off? I know you can turn sigs off but not sure on avatars. Failing that, if you really don't want them there you could just change the address of where they're uploaded in your hosts file to point to your local machine so that it doesn't display them. That could get annoying when someone uploads an image to the site and embeds it in their post though as you'd not be able to see them either (depending on where galary images get stored).

Sam Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its possible for me to create a 'thin' skin for the forum, the issue is, every version it'll need to be rebuilt. But if there is a demand, I can work on it. mit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sam, there's demand from me for a thin skin, not sure how many others! Have a look at the WorkSafe skin on mercedes-190.co.uk for an example of what I mean... images are watermarked until the mouse hovers over them, it's low on colours and looks much simple. It's not ideal, but it's much more helpful especially if you drew the short straw and got the corner desk in the middle of the room next to where everyone walks past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz031178 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I say put random naked fit chicks in the header bar that refreshes every day to give you new eye candy? Maybe not the best idea for those of us on work computers though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
