Which page design do you like best?

[Martin the Warrior]

Well, for the first time, my three Redwall sites all have unique designs. There's RWTV, with its simple side-bar and collage banner; there's The Redwall Newsline, emphasizing the "red" in Redwall and combining both website and forum; and there's The Long Patrol, staying true to its usual "blue" look while taking a more streamlined approach than before (and utilizing a larger amount of Redwall graphics).

Given all the time I've spent working on and revising them, I'd like to know which everyone likes the best. ;)

[Slagar the Cruel]

I'll go with the Newsline design... although the new LP design was great, too... come to think of it, I should have voted for the new LP design! :o ;)

[Colonel Sandgall]

I'm definitely going to have to say that the Newsline design is tops. I just think it shows the most organization, to be honest. Have you ever thought about combining all three different parts into one more broadly based site?

[Martin the Warrior]

I've thought about it-- and the Newsline did start out as part of The LP-- but, for now, I like the three site set-up.

[Slagar the Cruel]

I agree... the tripartite nature of the site is intriguing. :D

[Airemia]

I don't know... I like them all! I'm still getting over the shock of logging on and finding everything changed! :D

[The Red Badger]

TLP for me.

[Pawflash]

Gotta go with the Newsline. The only thing that could make it better would be having the number 4 supporter link in huge bold letters :-D

[Lord Servone]

I went with TLP too...

[Martin the Warrior]

Looks like we've got a 50/50 split, with RWTV the undisputed 3rd. ;)

[Treerose]

There should have been an "All three" option in that poll, Martin. <g> As it was, I went with the LP, but they ALL look great!

"Ten million curses on all musicians who do not count their rests! In my score, the horn was supposed to give the cue to the timpani, the timpani to the cymbals, the cymbals to the bass drum; the first stroke of the bass drum was the signal for the final explosion. But the accursed horn-player failed to play his note. Without it, the timpanist was afraid to come in. In consequence, cymbals and bass drum also kept silent. Absolutely nothing happened. The violins and cellos went on with their futile tremolo; otherwise, not so much as a pop...Only a composer who has himself been through such an experience can conceive the fury that possessed me. I could hardly breathe. A cry of horror burst from me. I hurled my score into the middle of the orchestra and sent the two nearest desks flying...The whole place was in an uproar...Another musical catastrophe had overtaken me..."

~from Berlioz's anguished rants in his Memoirs, on what happens when concerts go bad~

Excitable little fellow, wasn't he? <g>

[Lyrian Aryns]

I rather like the LP best... but then again, my favorite color is blue. ;)
I would go for the Newsline for second.

[dandin1]

Great job on the newsline, I vote for that one.

One problem: There is still problem in RWTV with the left menu... all the diffrents links are seperated from each other

[Pawflash]

hehe, well I'm sure it would be 100% TRN if the fourth supporter linkwas bolded :-p

Really? It's been solid black in every browser I've tested it in.

[Lyrian Aryns]

It's all screwy for me, too... about a two-inch gap between all the buttons... :\

[dandin1]

I see big white spaces between each image. Using IE 6, same problem in IE5.5
I checked the HTML... that's kinda weird, ereything seems ok, maby putting " " could help

could it be somewhere else, like in the table tag?

[Martin the Warrior]

Does it show up the same way at the old url? http://members.aol.com/m3may/rwtv/

[Pawflash]

Yes, it's the same way at the old address, with the odd spacing

[Martin the Warrior]

Odd. Well, I'll work on that. Thanks for letting me know.

[Lyrian Aryns]

Hm... you also might want to change the visited link color on the Newsline forum. It's the same color as the sidebar background.

[Slagar the Cruel]

Oh, yeah, I see the odd spacing in RWTV too - I thought it was intentional.:confused:

[MoonShadow]

Hm.... I'm not overly fond of the color of the Long Patrol site's layout, but otherwise, MoonShadow likes the layout.

[dandin1]

Well, the layout of the main LP site looks HUGE on a small screen, because of the images.

[Cornflower]

It looks like it has two inch spaces between the buttons on my computer too! I wonder why? :(

[Martin the Warrior]

You're all using busted browsers! ;)

Okay, let's give RWTV another try: http://rwtv.longpatrolclub.com

[Cale Yin]

It has a black bg now.

[Martin the Warrior]

Still the large spaces, though?

[Martin the Warrior]

Okay, I stuck in a few more specifications. Try it again.

[Lyrian Aryns]

It looks better than it did... but the spaces are still there.

[Slagar the Cruel]

Looks good to me! :D

[dandin1]

The spaces are still there, cept ther are black :p

[Slagar the Cruel]

Thus INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE! :p

[dandin1]

Well, it's not invisible to me, so I guess my eye is not naked? ;)

[Cale Yin]

Soup is naked.



What?

[dandin1]

What did that mean, caleyin?

[Cale Yin]

LOL... Something I tell to people when I hear either "soup" or "naked". Really. I mean in real life. It's fun.

[Martin the Warrior]

The solution may be to just image map the lefthand column, then.

[Chesk Otter]

The Newsline layout is the best!
