Can We get this site re designed

[Luke]

"I Really" hate this site layout, i was thinking someone like this to re-design it, Micheal Flarup here's his site: http://pixelresort.com/
and a website he's designed www.macthemes2.net

so +1 for re design

[Skullmaster]

Redesigning a SMF Forum requires alot of time unless you use a premade one, and the one you see here is anything but premade

[Luke]

so no?

[Skullmaster]

Its not up to me to say, its up to system since he is the owner

[PspKicks316]

I love the design we have...and yeah tons of work for a new theme. Personally I see no reason for a theme, but whatever. I think acidmods should stay the same =P

[Reaper]

Maybe in the future we could redesign it, but it would have to be done on an acidmods clone site first to work out the bugs

[ProperBritish]

i concur with alien... this place need brightening up, too dingy atm. lol

[Chase]

Doesnt concur mean to disagree 

Anyway Im thinking a purpley / blue and lightish grey theme....

[ProperBritish]

no chase concur means to agree :P

and that colour scheme sounds tasty

[Chase]

I well shouldnt be a law student lulz

Uhm Yeah agree "Tasty" Colour scheme :P

[Luke]

+1 For tasty colour scheme, the theme we have now is really dark and makes me feel sad 

Maybe in the future we could redesign it, but it would have to be done on an acidmods clone site first to work out the bugs

What Clone Site?   

[PspKicks316]

...

It would need to be done on a close site. As in one we have. Or make one. Then work out bugs.

There's a few clone sites...that tons of people have known about for ages.

What!?!?! i didn't know

[budgray19]

i liek the darker colors its easyer on the eyes at night

[Luke]

I hate dark colours

[Chase]

You can get neutral light colours also at night / in the dark its bad for your eyes to jsut have a monitor glow

SO remember kids leave a light on :3

[SYSTEM aka (Cyberpyrot)]

Im up for the coding but nothing will be done unless we get a mass agreement from the majority of old members and we can all decide on a theme color set..

[ccccpie]

Please please no bright colors >.>

[PspKicks316]

IF there's bright colors, I'm leaving.

hey what about all that work that Robin did for us that we never used.... I liked that stuff and think we should revisit it, he put time and effort in.

[GhoSt]

i've seen on some sites they have a selection of themes and each user can select there preference...

Yeh see, there an a few of us that like light and other that like dark so you can have a setting that you can view the way it is now or the new theme, witch is light colours?

[robin1989]

im up for a redesign but i lost all that stuff nic0 when i moved hosting and when i :censored:ed up my laptop.

what i think would be a good idea i think would be to have two themes (and actually have themes not an edited default) that members can choose. one light and one dark and also that means that if we wanted in the future it would be a lot easyier to add extra themes - especially if all the edits needed are documented.

here is a forum i installed a while ago but forgot about until recently - it was just for fun and to see what 2.0 was like.  http://beardmods.com/forum/

Ok, back to topic if everyone agrees on this i think we should do it

[Chase]

WEll if it's okay with the rest of the members once the redesigned site has been uhm redesigned... I would like to take a shot at a banner that coincides with the theme Unless anyone disagrees or thinks they should be the oen to do it I dont mind Just a thought

[robin1989]

you meen like the AM banner you did a while back chase




but yeah im up for it. we need to have a vote as to redesign or not and i guess if its a yes then we need to set up a clone site and whatnot and get it going

[Chase]

Thats still floating about? haha

Uhm yeah :3

Christ the animation o nthat took soo long o_O

[Luke]

Ok i think what i voted on was fair, cause if we have to theme' s people like me could chose the new theme and people like pspkicks could pick the old theme

[Tri-edge]

I like dark colors more then light, but I would be up for a redesign.  In fact I like the idea to be able to add more themes.
 +1 for redesign.

[l0rdnic0]

I'm cool with a redesign but I would still want this existing theme saved so I can come back to it when I want to.. I for one spend most of my time on AM in bed with the lights out, so a dark theme is a must...

PLEASE!!!!!

[budgray19]

i liek that robin
is that neon blue?

w/e guys just dont make teh site look fruity
abstract is cool for ex my back ground


now thats cool

[robin1989]

it wasnt me who did it it was chase. and nic0 it should be easy to keep a copy of the current forum as you would just use the copy default theme option in smf to copy this theme as an actual installable theme then just place it on the clone site to test. also we could revamp to a newer looking dark theme and eventually expand the themes more and more, not to silly amounts, till we have like 4 or 5 options for people so that they can have a theme that suites there needs and also bring out a theme for seasons like xmas, easter, new year, haloween etc

[budgray19]

yea liek the box boraders could be a lighter shade of x color the fourm boxes are and teh edges will be curved
a thickness(ruler on screen) 3/8ths of an inch? and maby with a glow of some sort

[ryan0]

redigning or creating an smf theme takes aaaaaaages and lots of complicated-ass coding and editing,people should think a bit more about this as it is alot harder work than you think,and espcially working out bugs etc. is really annoying and labour intensive,so rather than a total redisgn,why not jsut a spiffing up with a new banner and maybe some new colours and logo's,but definitely a total redesign is taking the piss

[robin1989]

we have some very good coders who have experience with html, php etc and with smf as this acidmods theme we currently use was created from scratch. we just need the time to set up the mirror site so that we can test and sort out the bugs

[PsychoticWolf]

IF there's bright colors, I'm leaving.

LOL I concur Bright Colors suck imho... But a Redone site would Cost alot of money if you have it done.. But I want whats best for AM..

I disagree, The futures Bright, The futures orange D: XD
And a site redesign shouldn't cost too much with all the dedicated artists we have, WEll me at least At least I think Im an artist 
Set up a mirror site and tell me what i gotta do and ill do it
Jsut let me put my name somewhere :3 Cos I need money and site design would be fun (Y)
But I like my animated banner so if that gets used Ill be happy, Although It's nto as good as Neubits, and our current =[

ahweel an IndyChav can dream
