Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Ok, made some major changes to the site. The forums were removed from being displayed within the site itself until I can debug the bridging component.

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
It's looking better.
I would stack the login, password and remember me controls on the top right to balance the header. The three icons (login, reminder, register) are not very helpful, I had to hover over them to figure out what they meant. Not sure why you need the login icon since the login and password are in the header. Not sure what the reminder icon does. Once I clicked it I realized what it was. I would replace it with a link like "Forgot your password?" You could use the icon in front of the link although I am not sure if it is necessary. Also use a link for the register as well. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Thanks. You might've caught the site after I installed this huge component, which changed the login box and added a bunch of functionality to the site.
I'll move the box to the right, and make the other changes you mentioned. EDIT: The login icon is coded in, with no config from the backend. It's not a hard thing to do, but I'm not sure if I should get rid of the icon. I'll experiment with it out, though. Last edited by synth3tk : 13-11-2008 at 01:34. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Getting better everyday !
Aha, now I understand, the login icon is what you push after you fill in the userid/password. Shame it's not a button, that would take less thought I still think you should stack the login controls on the right if possible. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Yeah, I'm about to rework that right-side tonight, so I can (possibly) include a text-only news fader. I don't want it too cluttered, but if I can execute what I have in my head, it'll be perfect.
And I think your statement is hinting at something, but I'm not sure what.... ![]() I'll make a login button to throw up there, also. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Yeah, that's what I thought you meant. I had some minor issues upgrading the operating system (darn bind9 not updating) but it should be up again soon, then I'll working on that login box and newsfader.

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
I clicked on the register and got the following message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /var/www/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 460 I was going to test where you put the Logout link once you are logged on. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Haha, sorry about that. I had to reinstall Apache/PHP/MySQL when I upgraded the distribution, but for some stupid reason it reset my php.ini, even though everything else went untouched. I just fixed it now, so try again whenever.
And I fell asleep with my headphones on last night, so I didn't get much done. ![]() Last edited by synth3tk : 15-11-2008 at 13:50. |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Probably don't need the login form on the registration page, to the left of the registration area. Especially the link to Register (loop, see loop)
Oops, no way to logout. You should put a logout button or link in the top right corner where the login control normally is. Are you doing any traffic analysis with your site? How are you doing it? |

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Oh wait, I saw the Logout icon. Missed it the first time, wasn't real obvious. Either needs some text, or use a link or button.

Hahaha, I know, I know. My laptop's cooling pad died, so I'm dealing with it overheating. Lemme try to make a crude button right now...

Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments
Right now I'm having a blast with Ubuntu, but eventually I'll need my files (and space) back from the broken Windows installation, so I'll check that out soon.
Anyway, I had to recompile the Apache and PHP on the webserver, but I had time to change a few things around. I didn't like how the logins looked stacked, though I did try it. Ultimately, I found a slide-down module, and installed that for the sole purpose of logging in and out. I moved the news slider down next to the search box, but still need to space it out. Gotta clean up a few things here-and-there. Need to fill in a few of the other sections that are still empty. Probably create a News area, so that the Blog could be for just thoughts, the Calendar to view events, and News for writing articles and whatnot. AND, we're getting ready to move it to an actual dedicated box hosted by my video game community this week, with a real big-boy domain name and all. ![]() Next on my agenda is an intranet for the team shop. Nothing too fancy. Control music via ShoutCast throughout a LAN, project management, who-knows-what else. Basically, whatever we feel like putting in there for fun. ![]() Thanks for all the help you've provided, rsisk. If you don't mind, I'd like to put you in the "special mentions" section of the website. |
