Because now I'm spending more time LIVING UP TO YOUR DAMN EXPECTATIONS!!!
I am pulling up a design I did to replace the previous one which was more in line with it, but with the usability of this new one. I never finished it, so thus I spend my time enjoying the work. (I love the shift from code to graphics, so I'm not really pissed, I just play pissed on the net...) I'll post pics up tonight... BEFORE I EVEN THINK OF UPDATING THE DAMN SITES!!! ]=) It will be like the previous version (not sure if any green will make it in) but with the usability of this new one. (Buttons and functions placed easily within reach.) So now I ask that you all: "Kiss my hairy yellow butt!" - Homer J Simpson |

Remember dude... you a programmer first and a statesman second. It's not like anyone is going to bail on this site cause they think the colors are ugly.
Until someone else steps to the plate and offers to do user interface design for you, it's your site. |
|
Shit if you guys aren't happy, then how the hell am I going to be happy...
So we'll meet in the middle, it shouldn't take a lot of work on my part, excet for the buttons, but I may be able to solve that issue pretty simply. ]=) |
|
What makes you think you're living up to expectations? [:D]
Shoulda been a smile there. Makes a big difference in this case! |
|
Real hate? With passion? Not just the plain run of the mill hate? Cool...Now you're talking. [}:D]

I never do graphic buttons until I have lived with the interface for a few days. Text links with generic icons to their left in a table should be fine for everyone until the opinion dust settles.
I actually like the OD. I am finding that I am very used to the old button placement and it takes me a sec to find the new link. Never underestimate a user's muscular memory when you change a user interface. I think a lot of these guys still are in 800x600 and we are looking at the world through 1024x768. I have not looked at the UI design in 800x600 since you changed it over but I bet it is a factor in some of the neg. comments. |

Yea, uh, I spent $60 and I still can't find the porn section. Can you work on that too?

Hey Goat.
How come you don't like MY new color scheme and design? [img]web-comm.com/ar15/goat69.jpg[/img] At least I know you like my Sig Pic ! [;)] |

I have a microscopic clue about coding a board like this - I’ve set up a couple of UBB based boards using MySQL backends.
---------------------- All I have to say is, I’m damned impressed with this board. It’s fast and stable and not finicky about platform. (I’ve used OPERA, IE, NUTSCRAPE, and Lynx) … It’s better than anything else I’ve seen. Keep up the good work man – Some of us appreciate you. Side note: What is this thing running on? (Hardware, OS, DB) |
|
Hell GB, look at the bright side. Not one of our color blind members have griped at all! [;)]

|
Actually ,,,, since you went to a grey in the panels its not near as bad and most will like it as is GB

He coded this site from scratch and it is one of the best message forum apps that I have ever seen ! (alot of my clients host UBB and other message forum sites with us. NONE of them compare to the sitework that Juan has created here) Now. Do I get a raise? [:D] |

but, but, but I'm happy with it! Don't I count? Isn't my voice being heard? Oh! The humanity!

Quoted: You're doing one hell of a piss-poor job here, Goatboy. View Quote Oh man you just made my shit list... ]=) Still working, maybe no preview pic tonight... I had some things to attend to so I was off the pc for a few hours. As for the NUDIE section... the powers that be have met with your new diplomatic voice to see how much freedom he could squeeze from me. The apparent discussion revolves around a more open and accepting location within all your graps... shit, am I being cryptic??? I guess everyone will find out once we nail down all the details... |
|
I looked at my SQL too, but only to see if the rash had cleared up. I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, but if you want to appreciate this board, go to any other one. Biggerhammer.net comes to mind. It's kind of like America. Go anywhere else in the world, then come home and kiss the ground. Yeah, I guess I'm a suckup, so what--I appreciate what we have here, and make no bones about it. GB, if you like shitty green or titty pink, I don't care. No complaints.
Edited to add what I meant to say from the get-go: Thanks, GB!! I appreciate your efforts/time. [:D] |
|
As for the NUDIE section... a more open and accepting ...... I like it already. |
|
J/k, Goat...but you already knew that.[:)]
"Nudie Section": bad idea. No j/k there. |
|
Regardless of color and style and all of that, I still think this is one of the best sites that I've seen on the web. Keep up the good work.

Do whatever your little heart desires ...I never never argue with an
"well armed" geek.......... |

Dude...the green has got to go, brah. It gives me the creeps....

GoatBoy.... I finally played with it on my iPAQ last night ....
The site does not scale at all on it .. so it makes it terrible to work with ... No I am not griping just letting you know... If you ever had a chance to see .... you would know what I mean ... Paypal scales but the font scales and almost disappears.... Subguns.com scales and keeps the font .. but then again it is just a text based board... Yahoo allows frames to be selected whish helps .. but it still does not realyl scale ... so it is not just here.... Thanks for what you do do ... and if I ever get to where I am ahead I will sign up for the elite actual paying member... Ted... |

We can't stand you either GB![;)]
I liked the old design, color wise. I not really fond of the green, and now it is white around the posts(but not at the top). Looks weird. |
|
Goatboy, you go the extra mile for us around here. Lesser people would let their ego drive them, but not you. You are a man of the people. You hear their call, and like a true leader you listen.
Now quit screwing around posting silly ass messages and get the damn colors back to the way they were![shock] |

|
Just wanted to point this out. The transition between sites is easier, and you stay logged in. [:)]
|
|
The content is more important to me than the view. Unfortunately, the "crash Netscape every five screens" bug is back with the new appearance. I don't know how you do it. [=:D]
|
|
I'm using netscape 6.2 linux version and this site is as stable as any other for me.

View Quote GoatBoy for prez. he'd be better that anyone else we have. edited to add: I LIKE THE GREEN.. but too much white. anyway its a great job goatboy. i love this site. |
|
I actually like the layout much better. Don't change the code, just the background colors.
|
|
The changes are about 80% complete graphics wise, so then its just a bit of changing a few other items and code. I'll try to post a sample tonight for feedback.
As for emails, I apologize to everyone because I just haven't had time to get through them all. Every day I go through roughly 100 emails and fall behind another 25-50. So I'm fighting just to get back to the older emails!!! |
|
Goatboy,my friend,can I call you my friend? You've heard the saying "you cant please everybody ...........".I do like camping out here.

In my best "Cleatus, the slack-jawed yokel" voice.....
AHHHH, QUIT YER YAPPIN'! |
