If you like images, you could just make the front page a really big render containing all the news and stuff...

[Setekh]

Don't tempt me.

That said, I'll keep this in mind. I'll probably just have a bunch of much, much smaller thumbnails in the following news posts.

[WMCoolmon]

Bah! Just make a Hard and Light version...

[Setekh]

Hah! Talk about a well-placed pun. Nice one.

[WMCoolmon]

It's not such a bad idea actually...

[Setekh]

I agree. I'll talk to Cobalt about it.

[WMCoolmon]

Might be able to be done with XML, or just 2 versions of the news. Should be easy to have two versions of the news...

[Setekh]

Could do. Darn you, now you've got my head thinking about how to implement this!

[WMCoolmon]

Have some sort of form such as below, then the PHP in the top of the page, then the php where the news goes.

[color=orange]//The form[/color]
[color=pink]

Layout:
Light
Hard
[/color]

[color=orange]//The code that goes at the top of the page[/color]
if($submitlayout)
{
setcookie("HLPLayout",$chlayout,time()+1892160000,"/~freespace/","dynamic.gamespy.com");
}
?>

[color=orange]//The code that goes where the news goes[/color]
if($HLPLayout=="Hard"){include("hardnews.inc");}
else{include("lightnews.inc");}
?>

Of course, if register_globals isn't turned on, you might have a problem with the script...

[Setekh]

Nah, dynamic files need to be on the dynamic server... it won't work.

[WMCoolmon]

Well, I'd post a link to Homeworld Universe as an example of how making the site on the Dynamic server isn't that bad of an idea...
BUT THE DYNAMIC2 SERVER IS DOWN!
How about a good old-fashioned splash page? With a render, of course

[Setekh]

I definitely wouldn't discount the possibility - I didn't for the Array, you'll notice.

But, the dynamics do go down a lot more often than the main servers.
