Title: Isnt't it time the front page was updated?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on September 30, 2002, 01:01:23 pm
Well isn't it? Last time I checked there were still links to the VBB, and loads of other crap.

i like the basic outline of the main page... i think perhaps coloring could be changed :)

Admins:  Volitionwatch is coming up with a very new layout... everything is going to be completely different, and i personally think it would be pretty neat for HLP staff to have a new page/layout too :D

i still like the one we have, but it is getting a little old... content wise.

you could still have the old page, just make it like index2.php or index2.html or whatever, and have index.html the new page :D

think it'd be neat for both sites to have a new layout at the same day/time :)

You're forgetting a major factor here - time. Not everyone has tonnes of it and right now the front page works.

I think that you guys should change the picture of the moment. that Sobek is starting to be annoying. No offence. :)

All the active admins are fairly busy with real life.  So no updates for now.

Once I get around to checking out my newfound FTP access to the server, I might make a few drafts for a new design if I have the time. :nod:

No offense, but as much as i love each and everyone of our admins :D :) :D , if they are too busy or preoccupied to the job, then maybe we should get someone from the community that can? I'm not trying to sound like a hypocrit or a complainer, but jus trying to be objective.

And hte Sobek is annoying now :p

so why not get someone to make the fron page? or even have a front page contest and have the HLP users vote, that'd be nice :nod:

Why does it have to be now?  Maybe we'll be able to start working on one in a month.  Who knows?  But for the moment we're busy and we're not going to worry about it.

you could make the picture of the moment randomly changing, like in Vwatch. That way it would really be a picture of the MOMENT.

That was something I've always wanted but I never found the code for it. If someone has code similar to V-Watches where a picture is randomly selected from a folder and show then I'd love to have it, and might even install it if it'll get the job done ;)

We realize we need to update the contents of the front page, but please don't start pushing for a new design just now. It's not gonna happen - the current design works perfectly, and we can't see any real benefit on upgrading it right now.

:wtf: I can code that in a few minutes when I have a chance. Maybe tonight...

Then go for it if you can! It'll save me faffing about trying to get something else working ;)

or you could get brando or icefire to give you the code from Vwatch.  it's all PHP, so that shouldn't be a problem

doesn't Freespace2.com use the same (similar) script on a bigger scale?  (in that the entire page pretty much changes)

but i have started working on the layout... so has brando apparently.

i'm still waiting on staff access or whatever brando said i should go to /siteadmn/ or something like that, but it didn't work. and of course my Volitionwatch email address and forum name... i never get a 'validation'...

i presume i registered as 'Stealth' a long time ago on the forums, but i don't know my password.  i tried the 'recover password' feature, but brando said you disabled email verification on lost password and registering... has that been enabled yet?

If this thread is to have any purpose at all I think you and Ice should talk this out on email/PM/ICQ or something. VW business is not what this forum is for ;)
