New Look

Seems i'm out voted

LOL, sorry John, but here I go nit picking again. It's the perfectionist in me.

• The icons for the Vista installation and setup Newsgroup icon is mixed up with the Software Forum icon.
• Windows Updates Forum has wrong icon.
• Vista Games Newsgroup has wrong icon.
• Vista Mail Newsgroup has wrong icon.

The rest looks great though.

Didn't even notice that the site had new icons until I seen this thread about it. Keep up the good work everyone.

I know I started this thread, but am I still missing something. Someone mentioned wide screen, I have a widescreen monitor and the forum has always just been down the middle of my screen with blue panels either side, even after the inclusion of the new icons that is still my view, am I supposed to see it stretch out to fit my screen ?

Joan, go to the skin selector at the bottom of the page and pick the v3 wide skin

Thanks John for a great looking Forum, and for this bit of advice, about which I was previously unaware.

The Sepoys find it so much more pleasing to their eyes, and are delighted with the added systems icons, ......and the new Vista Forums Logo is a pearler.

Cheers, Sassofalco.:D

I miss the landscape in the banner :/

 

[z3r010]

You can still select the old skin from the skin selector at the bottom of the page

 

[swarfega]

Well I like the new logo, I just like the landscape too .

 

[z3r010]

I like the landscape, if I can find the source files I will see I will knock another alt skin up with the best of both

 

[johngalt]

Don't forget another wide-skin version of it too when yer done.

Got a bit of a shock this morning when I logged on here, but it was a nice shock, to see all those nice Icons indicating all the sub forums purpose

Darn it, Late again. I miss out on all the fun.

I have just been reviewing the site stats and since the day I changed the skin, traffic has dropped!!!

I have reverted the site back to the old skin as default and will monitor it over the next few days to see if the trend is reversed.

 

[swarfega]

Was the drop significant?

That's scary from just a skin change.

 

[z3r010]

Was the drop significant?

About 3-5000 visitors per day

That's scary from just a skin change.

Not sure if it was the skin change yet, but the dates do tie up. If traffic jumps back I will go though all the code on the new skin to see if I can spot the reason.

What happened to coincidence?
