New site design

[Jaume08]

Yeah, that's what I was talking about Will, thanks.
It take a while to find the forum tab for example, but it doesn't happen anymore. Don't worry Mike, the new design looks great. :bigthumb:
Oh, and I prefer those nfshs banners than the ones from Carbon. They are way more representative of what you can find here.

Yeah, had to re-do the nav a little bit.. it'll probably change whenever the next version comes out, sinceI won't have much room left :p

Need to populate the content for the older versions, too. And also need to get some new header images in there for rotation

header images, Well say you wanted them as small Animated GiFs, Just email me them Zipped up like say you have 3 them that are diffrent that can go together, as banner? Buttons, i can GiF make them for you.?

Appreciate the offer. Not a big fan of animated gifs really. And by rotating headers, I meant everytime you refresh the page, like it was before.

Looks nice, loads a little slow on dial-up but that's expected of anything, right. btw who's GT is that in the banner?

It looks awesome, nice job Mike!

looks good Mike.
there are many things i like about the new design and i also have some comments/considerations:
-one thing I'm not so big on is having the main news/text section offset to accommodate the unified sidebar on the right, I'd rather it be in the middle.
-Maybe a larger, more eye catching downloads section link like the new upload or forum buttons, in addition to the small text links, would help new visitors find what they're looking for easier.
-possibly move the header to the top of the page rather than being under the ads.

just some things to think about. Thanks for doing all this work Mike, The site keeps looking better and better.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll definitely consider them. What colour would you like for a Downloads button on the right? I'll let you pick it

I remember liking your site designs a couple years ago that had a lot of tan/earth tone colours with the classic blue background. So I'll suggest a tan coloured button.
If not, then blue/purple should agree with the current design.

Not sure how tan will look on the right menu, but I'll try it out. If not, blue/purple it is
