New forum layout.

Yesyesyes

I agree with blue/black/white theme.

Hm... If we only have a week, and if the new colour scheme will be ice, maybe we could save it for winter? It seems to fit better, and it'd give us more time to work on it. If we rush it probably won't look as good, but approx 6 months and we could make it amazing.

Tis a good point... hmm...

Yeah! I think we should go with this idea! Is everyone for it?
What do you think Todd install it around Yuletide? It seems a great idea<3

While I remember can you do us a forum birthday banner?

Yup, yuletide sounds good. And sure, I'd be happy to You mean one we can post or one that we put in our sigs? Because I could just change the date on least year's one for the sigs.

I think it would be quite awesome to have a big banner at the top for the birthday

Navy, red and white seems to be ''in'' the the mo, and tbh it'd look proper fab on here...

Is it 'in'? I didn't know that! I have some shoes that are those colours! Lol... Very nautical.

Well it's kinda like that whole sailor theme that was fashionable in the Spring and it's progressing into the summer...

We'd have to be careful with red, white and blue, if we got it wrong we could end up looking like some kind of American nationalist forum >.< But it could look fantastic if we got it right.

For the banner if you could just whip one up and I'd put it up
Sorry been ill the past few days.

Is this okay? It's a little rushed but unfortunately I've been away from the internet for the past few days and I didn't have an awfull lot of time >.< Sorry.

It's fine the birthday's gone now though.
I need to take the balloons down!

I had a go at designing a wintery theme... I'm not really happy with it but it's the kind of thing I had in mind, similar to the current background but with icy/snowiness!

^^^ I like that idea

I like the concept of the background image you made
While we're at it, I think it's time we had a bash at the new layout or ideas for it

I've had a bit of a play but nothing has worked so far... Is there any way of making the central bar with the text on it transparent? I was thinking that maybe we could get a snow texture for the wallpaper then have the buttons and things look like someone's brushed away the snow to reveal some text or an image carved into the snow underneath. I can get hold of a texture no problem, and a play with layer masks should give a good "brushed away" effect, so if we could make the central bar transparent it's very doable.

Great idea Todd! I'll dM you about it and let you have a play with the design panel if you'd like

That'd be great, thanks
