Board Improvements / Suggestions

[Caramel]

Does what it says on the tin.

Anything you think needs tweaking, (colours, settings, fonts, etc.) if its doable and no one has too strong an objection...

Plus we've got rankings when you reach a certain number of posts to sort out.

[sophiechiefs]

I think it is fab!

I don't mind about fonts/colours, I like blue. =)

[gemstone]

its Very Nice Blue

[Caramel]

I though it was a bit of a bland blue! Less scary than the yellow though.
Can make background, fonts, headings etc. any of these:

[ModernWay]

I like it if not just change the blue slightly. But i'm not fussed aslong as it's not pink ;P

[tanja78]

Looks really nice Caramel and bunch of thanks for starting a new forum!

[noamjen]

I also dig the colour combination! (Blau und Weiss ein leben lang!!!!! ;)

Thought if you end up changing it, please not yellow. That colour literally hurts my eyes...

[modflower]

For the backround, can you do a pattern or photo, or are you only limited to the colour grid?


I actually had an idea for something "vintage Chiefs" if you can do patterns ("Employment" album backround, or something stripey,) but I don't know now. Maybe too "been there, done that?"

How about something that looks like Little Shocks?

[Caramel]

We can have an image as a background.
If someone wants to make something...

Also, the photo at the top of the page is just one of mine from the Wembley Arena gig. I'm sure we could come up with something better. Maybe ask Ricky to do us a logo!

[modflower]

Ooh, a logo from Ricky would be cool, if he'd do it!

I just thought, maybe there could be two photos up top, since there seems to be plenty of room. Like on the left side, use an old photo of the band, and on the right, something more recent.

[Lala]

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this, Caramel.
Blue is not my fave colour but I really don't mind. I guess I just have to get used to it.

I like the idea of Ricky doing us a logo.

There's just one URL link spot for the picture up top. You could amalgamate two pictures, just as long as they've got one link. I'll give it a go. See what happens.

Edit: Oohh it worked! I just grabbed one of the old photos though so I need suggestions for a better one.

[modflower]

That looks good! Kaiser Chiefs - 'then' and 'now.'

[Dani86]

I could fiddle around on photoshop and make an (oldschool) banner.

As for the background, I don't know about others, this blue hurts my eyes a little on my comp

[Tanya]

Those pics look too big and i agree about the blue colour... it's too bright for my eyes.
Unfortunately i totally suck at designing, but it would be great if other people (who know all that kind of stuff) work on the forum designing.

Anyway, thanks for making this forum Caramel

[Dani86]

had a quick fiddle with my old friend photoshop







if it needs changing, just let me know

[Tanya]

i like the 1st one

[Dani86]

thank you

also found this

[schmimblebob]

Swear filter? I only noticed this after I swore in one of my posts

Also love the banners Dani Is it possible to align it in the middle at the top cos at the moment it runs from the left hand side and to me its not "aesthetically pleasing"(one of my old lecturers always banged on about this - becoming a radiographer has made me super pernickity )

[modflower]

I too love the banners, Dani. I like the photo in the 2nd one because it's lighter. And yes, it should be centered up top. I also really like the backround wallpaper Dani found. (Should probably remove the "Employment" label , though.) The wallpaper adds a touch of vintage Chiefs.

Don't know why I'm so interested in an 'Old-Chiefs/New Chiefs' theme. I must be feeling nostalgic.

[Caramel]

Unfortunately I can't centre the banner.

Cheers for having a fiddle Dani.

[Dani86]

it's still the old banner atm, is it? cause i can see the 'old' one

i can adjust the size of the banner so it's automatically center, if someone gives me the correct sizes

[sophiechiefs]

Yeah its still the old one.
I like the 1st photo Dani. I love the new background too! It's looking good!
Edit: The new one flashed up once on the profile bit.

[schatzi]

I like the new background, it's much better than the blue one.

[sheeny]

I like this new background and the picture.
This is a bit like moving house and redecorating!

[Blonde]

I'm not so keen on the background, it looks a bit old ladyish to me

[Emmererr]

A few people have professed a liking for the old plaid background that the forum had once upon a time, is there any way we could use that background or emulate it in some way?

[Lala]

Nice one, I like the banner and the new background.

[schmimblebob]

The new background's great. I think because of the size of the banner the top of the page automatically looks better spaced too

[Tanya]

i think there's a few people who would definitely agree with me... we need MORE smileys!
