I updated the layout. The biggest point of the update was to fit an advertisement at the top of the screen ( ), but hopefully navigation should be much easier with the bigger set of links at the top of the page.

It took me forever to make this redesign this part of the layout. lol, I redesigned and redesigned it until I finally found something that worked. In some drafts, I made some complete radical changes in the organization, only to loop myself back into something that looks very similar to the original layout.

Anyway, comment on the new update, and post any potential issues you may find.

EDIT: Oh and some of you may have to press Ctrl+F5 to reload the altered CSS file...

EDIT 2: Oops. If you use the old color scheme, this layout will be broken for you. I knew I was forgetting something...

Nice job. It looks cool, but a sorta dumb thing is there are options on the top that are on the left bar. We'll all probably use top/bottom always and the other never.

yeah, but I figured a good way to treat the sidebar would be as a "portable site map" where all major links to the site are there, but since it's naturally so intimidating to look at, we shouldn't rely on it.

so I guess the next thing for me to work on now is to redesign the video archive, then the guides section. Then the game pages... then build a section for hacks...

while simultaneously working on Aeon........

edit: this is my 5005th post! I have no idea where my 5000th post is....

happy, now change it back, it sucks.

"A Community for Games with User-Created Content". This is such a mouthfull. What is wrong with "Level Making Community"?

And I didn't even notice the changes till I read this.

If so, then that's a negative mark for the topbar.

Personally, I think there is too much black at the top, especially since I don't see the ad.

whoa after all the praise this layout update got last night

'shos' said:

why? It's better navigation to an extent.

'shos' said:

bleh... not as important as everything else.

'jellsprout' said:

well, at least the change isn't disturbing you...

'Bmwsu' said:

maybe that's your monitor? You should try brightening it. but yeah, it is kinda hidden. But that's only when it's in text version; sometimes it's an image/flash banner, just like the ad in the bottom.

It used to say "gaming community". Doesn't explain us too good...

well, it's not really our slogan. It's main purpose is so that people can understand what we are quickly. And "Level Making Community" doesn't really imply that we feature lots of games, it just implies that we make levels or something. Which would lead the average newcomer to think "levels for what?" or something. But the point is that it leaves a trace of uncertainty with it.

I like everything, but the ad at the top.

Combining the online members, Chatbox and Recent posts/topics bar is pretty cool.

A little off topic, but why is the staff panel all the way at the bottom of the page? I assure you, I click those links much more often than I click the links under "Departments," which happens to be a really pointless, if you consider the fact that all of those links are on the top-bar of every single page.

It's not that I plan on using it often, it just seems so out of the way. I remember when you first moved it all the way down there, I remember thinking that CSD had removed my staff powers again.

No problem with anything else, but lets see if we can come up with something more interesting than "A Community for Games with User-Created Content"

The Interguild- Ya, we're a pretty big deal.

Just a couple suggestions.

Lol. As Quirvy would have put it - "The Interguild - We're extremely modest so that makes us better than you."

Just remember that it means we have extreme mod powers, as Cedric would have put it...

How does the ad at the top benefit the site? Is it a money thing?

Livio is very greedy, didn't you know?
Actually, he said something about his dad caring about it, or something.

Ad click = money. If we make enough, we can buy Google ad words, and advertise the site Haily's tried it with IceCaves and he's getting quite a few people clicking on ads to IC.net for like $4-$6 a day

I do not support this



But that actually could be kinda cool. Of course, the problem would be to come up with enough quality phrases and stuff.

As long as we actually have some slogans and phrases, sure, it would be cool.

So we should start clicking on the ads on every page we go to?
