#1 Oct 22 2007 at 7:55 PM Rating: Good
I noticed a new layout/stylesheet on the main www site. Is this for keeps? I really like it!

Yup, it's for keeps.

Glad you like it.

Yay, finally work safe.

With images off, anyway.


Edit: It'd be nice if posting names were bolded though.

Will you be implementing a sidebar? Or am I gonna have to pledge allegiance to a game in order to navigate to forums with a single click?

no, but the top menu is open for more usable link suggestions.

Mouseover the top bar for your forum lists.

Ahh, no sweat. The "Forums" tab wasn't giving me the drop down, but it is now.


I guess my only other knee-jerk criticism is that it's tough to distinguish whether or not I've clicked on a thread, because they all look the same.

Edit: I'd guess this is because I don't see anything being bolded. Not unread threads, user names, nothin'.

Oh and one other little ditty. You can now post your own news. We've opened up the news system and are letting anyone submit a news article. The article then goes into a queue for staff approval. Right now the news will only appear on the allakhazam.com page and on the game page for the particular game it applies to.

While I really like the new options for customizing the main page to show info about the games of your choice, and the previews on the recent posts list, is there any way I can see my precious grey color scheme again? "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" (This is really bright for someone that usually uses a dark color scheme on their computer.)

Whoah... the posting window is all giant and funky. I'm not saying it's bad. Just... different.

Anyway, my original question was whether or not we could get a line between the post bottom and the "Posting From" line. And the scholar+ names bolded as Tricky asked.

All in all, looks snazzy.

I really like not bolded on the forum view, I'll see about bolding on the thread view.

Oh and if you know anything about a game on the list, please rate it. For upcoming titles the rating is more how excited you are about it. Thanks.

We're currently having a meatloaf helmet fight to determine who gets the rights to add such an awesome game to the list.

I can contribute somewhere around a thousand cocoa eggshell fragments to the cause!

No, I don't know why I'm still keeping them, other than that I hope to one day have the largest collection of them.

It says FFXI has no pvp on the gamelist...I know it's a minor detail, but Ballista?
#22 Oct 23 2007 at 1:49 AM Rating: Excellent
I really like the new layout too, nice and clean. My only gripe is also that it's hard to tell between visited and non visited threads. Nevermind, it's blue/darkerblue for nonvisited/visited.

I know the Game List info fits so nicely on the page as it is, but is there any way to add a section for platform?
#24 Oct 23 2007 at 4:32 AM Rating: Good
Looks great, although still no multi-game love on the menus.

I do have a bug, this is on the front page, Firefox 2.0.0.8 (looks like IE6 does it too):

Another request, can we get this on the bottom as well?

Does this go for non-mmo things too? Like console stuff or other gaming news in general?

Yes you can post general gaming news. There's no way to post to a game news for any games we don't cover.

OK so I lied. There is one thing I don't really like. There's too much blue link text all over the page. Could someone possibly consider an alternative link color? something a little less bright?
