On Air

And we’re good to go! The site is complete enough. The forums have received their makeover, though I may have a bit more of a play around with the categories it contains later on. They’re also now at the latest phpBB release which is 2.0.10. I added a random image generator to the right right, which so far displays some Aelon-themed jargon, the Firefox logo, my Vanquish, one very smooth Logitech mouse, a Manta from UT2004, and Holliday’s favourite outdoor activity - snowboarding. Expect more as we think of them.

Seeing as the site is still hot out of the oven, I’m looking for feedback on it’s design. So far the only suggestion has been changing the rollovers/links from aqua to cyan, which I think is a fair idea. The site was made in Firefox, and also lightly tested in IE and Opera, but if you see any obvious glitches, let us know. Overall though, the site looks much better using a Gecko-based browser, thanks to some proprietary moz-specific code.

    Yeah, now that its mentioned a cyan rollover might look a bit nicer. The aqua looks good, but its not used anywhere else on the site.

    It’s too plain. Maybe do some sort of simple, light stripe thingy for the page background.

    I think the forums are much too light, but that seems to be what you’re going for.

    Other than that I like it.

    Good for you.
