Do you thin chief delphi's layout change to a more modern look? Explain what you would change.

Is there any competitors to Chief Delphi?

A while back, Brandon Martus announced that changes were planned, including an upgrade to a modern version of vBulletin.

What the?

As long as the majority of the functionality stayed the same, it wouldn't bother me a bit, but I wouldn't care if it kept the current format either, mainly because I'm used to it.

However: If the site's layout were to change in the near future, it should be immediately following the 2014 season. I would bet that I'm not the only one who would be annoyed with having to learn a new layout in the middle of a season.

Now that most of us have smart phones and tablets, I think CD should embrace the concept of Pseudo Responsive Web Design. Even if my kiddo doesn't think so.

I find the Tapatalk app quite useful for keeping up with CD from my phone. That said, a responsive design would be nice. I don't believe I've seen any really good ones on vBulletin forums though.

Are you volunteering to do the work? :)

Re: Should Chief Delphi's Layout Change (poll)
 

heh....I did the work to make my own web page Pseudo Responsive. I also did the work to make our local car club's web page work the same way. That's enough for me for this decade.

(btw, pseudo responsive is not the same thing as responsive....)

More portal, less front page clutter would be nice, because it's probably less than 1% of the time that I use the hierarchical view (but when you need it, it's indispensable). Also, forum software that can be configured to reject obvious spam. The option to hide signatures is mandatory and non-negotiable (I'm actually really glad I don't have to look at some of your lengthy and garish signatures on a regular basis).

I think that the layout is all right, and if you wan't a more modern look, you could use an alternative like yopyip. I think that the color choices should be a little different (if allowed with the team). Too much orange and white can be biting at times.
:o

Your bias shows in your poll.
Keep it the same way it is "forever"? suggests that the site is monolithic.
It is not

I would like to apologize for the tone of my previous unedited post.
I reacted too strongly to what I felt was a criticism of one of the few BBs that I find immensely useful.

Well, it's here. The day FRC students no longer know what Wayne's World is. A sad day for everyone.

21 years ago....yeah, that movie is pretty old.

I wasn't being literal in the "forever" I was just exaggerating. But yes I do think Chief Delphi should go to a more modern look.
