Besides the ownage of the random image, I have the following comments:
The Front page and overall design is pretty generic as people have said, but it works. Though I prefer the previous one.
The torrents page is pretty nice.
But I actually have a hard time reading the comments (the ones that people can input after every new bit of news). They all look like jumbled and small and grey and... o_o
It's generic because it's just a temporary template...
Suede is currently working on the new design.
It will be fixed when we get a new design instead of the temp one, as well I would think it would be nice if every news post had a link to the content on the forums that is if the comments say the same. As well some users of these forums didn't know we had a frontpage so if the news is important then it should be posted here for comment as well.Originally posted by: Terracosmo

As well a couple of those ramdom images are mine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

why bother with a poll about what we think of the site if the layout of the whole thing is "generic" and not done yet?
i suppose i could guess that the way you're organizing the info is probably on the right track but in terms of looks, i don't want to say anything about it until you guys say, "okay, here's the nearly final result. what do you think?"
In web design looks are always last, for alot of different reasons. I put up the poll because I hoped people would use it to rate not how it looked rather how it worked. Besides by time the final result would comeout we would see alot more then this one thread made about it. you can vote or not, I'm not going to force youOriginally posted by: Honoko

Wow I love the idea of image hosting now I can have an actual reason to visit the homepage and not go directly to the forum very nice guys
The torrents page could be more organized have the name of the files all line up to the left and its going to be much better to read. The numbers for the Seed and leechers should be a little bigger and the dark blue text against a balck back ground is a bad idea, you can barely see it (I'm talking about the text the lets you go to specific torrents fo the series)
Other than that I can tell this is going to be a very good. you should also have a contest for people to make the banners for every section
That does sound like a good idea having the graphics on the home page done by the users of it, it would be a nice touch. The torrent page will change with the new template as well although I hope they intergate it better into the siteOriginally posted by: nests

question about the torrent page: will there only be selected series on there or will it be "put anything random" on there like tokyotosho?
R.I.P Captain America.
Question about logging in on the front page: what's the point? Is it just so you can use the imagehosting or leave comments?
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Thats a good question..I don't knowOriginally posted by: Knives122

As I said before you don't have too. but if you do you do get access to the imagehosting and leave comments. I'm also thinking that your account on the front page will intergate it's self in to your forum account in the near future. It's not a simple task so don't think it will be fast... It's easier said then done. Frackly at this point it's up to youOriginally posted by: XanBcoo

I don't know what to say really considering that the page is only temporary. I do however like the idea of a revamped torrents page and the "random images" although, I think you also had that on the old front page. It rocked back then, it rocks now. Now, if only you could provide a link to the main page in the navigation bar at the top of the forums page, I would happy as a....just happy. goddamn it.

Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

How come the login system isn't linked to the forums like the community profile is?

But these ramdom images are ones you upload [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
And the link to the front page is on the list
It's part of the fact that the databases for users have not been intergated into one another, and because the way these two databases log data is different they need to bridge that gap, For that same reason the community seems to be at a loss when it comes to some things. Since the only thing they seem to share is the username and password. These are two values in the database table... with the front page it may log more then just that, or having the values in the tables different then the forums. Thus then we need to do some work to get this to intergate into the other one without schrewing with where the values are read by both of them. I can go in to more depth if you wishOriginally posted by: AssertnFailure

Why not store the front page info on a seperate table joined to the forum user table via a user id?
Yes, do go more in-depth because I'm familiar with database architecture.

If you click the ugly banner at the top it'll now send you to the front page. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Oh god my eyes, my eyes. I cant see anything.
Its alright I guess. Looking forward to the final phase of the front page.
Good work Deadfire.
I can't honestly give you a answer to that one as i have no access to the database. I asked Ciber to answer this but he is busy ATM.... sorryOriginally posted by: AssertnFailure

lol, the banner is a nice touch, I wonder who made it?. Maybe we can have a banner contest to make one to replace it.... or do what AMV.org does and have a ramdom banner made by a user show upOriginally posted by: BioAlien

I'll start by saying it wasn't me that was the work of your Admins, they are the ones that are making this project work. I was asked by Wilik to work on the project (or something else?) but it seems that they are doing well at the moment. All I'm doing is answering questions for you guys, so 1000 people don't pm or IM them every hour asking about things. When they are trying to work. So I'm following though my part to help them out. Also I will kill all rumors that I'm a Admin or a Mod (at least as i write this). I just know what is going on to a point and I'm just letting you all know with my comments on the matter. I am doing this as I think it helps GW out to the point that it doesn't lead into mass confusion. So I'm going to continue to answer your questions to the best that i can in hopes it will help you as well as the adminsOriginally posted by: Jadugar

Erm........I dont like the frontpage. I've been accustomed to the old one for like a year/ a year and a half. I don't like this sudden new change [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].
