Sub-forum decision - Page 21

09-09-2005, 10:53 AM

We have 4 sub-forums stuck at the top of the page. We need to add a "Games" sub-forum during the season for all our Gambling, pick'em, score, fantasy, etc. games which accompany the regular season.

I don't want more than 4 sub-forums at the top, so one of them needs moved. Which one?

what a load.

I agree the DC Forum ought to be removed, based on the poll. The Store is a revenue raiser, so it being moved is counterproductive, I'd say. Hell, keep the button AND the place as a sub forum....it just makes it easier to access for casual users and newbies.

That's just not a hill that I'm willin' to die on though.....

I tried red, you couldn't read it. Black made them stand out like a sore thumb and accentuated the fact that I don't have the correct font. I thought about bold but then they lose their sameness. Not enough pixels to do a shadow, bevel, etc. Maybe someone with more talent can do something with them, I'll happily share the source file with the layers.

If you read Phil's response the first move is to move the Store to a button. That more trimming needed to be done. He is going to investigate the idea of letting each person set which subforums they see by subscribing to them but if that does not work out trimming will happen either way. So in the event the subscribing does not work most likely the DC forum will be removed, this is my understanding from PM's with him. I may not have it exactly right but I would not get exercised quite yet Stevie.

I just had trouble seeing the white letters on the yellow background. I sure don't have the talent to do it. No criticism intended.

Use the white lettering but outline it in black. Problem solved.

I'm not capable with The Gimp which is all I've got. You mind polishing that off? I'm sure pink would appreciate it.

Call it what you will. I would assume you'd send them to her when you're done, thus giving you the credit. I could care less either way.

Now

and do my work (which I don't get paid for), bitch.

Just tell everyone you're an equal opportunity employer and your hired this handicapped kid named 4th and Long from the board to do some work for you. That should shut them up.
