Layout improvements at AfterDawn.com

Much as I hate to say it.. with adblock+ and Filterset.G enabled, I'm stuck with a big, ugly, almost 6-inch space at the top, with nothing but the AfterDawn logo and a couple links just floating there. I know the site is run by ads, as all other sites are, but I'm sure some of the issues might be able to be easily resolved by not using things like "ad" in a file/directory or stylesheet/script name.

 

a simpler fix would be for the guys that update the filterset to simply remove the AD image server from their default filtered listings...i mean, ads aren't even served from there. it's BS and incredibly stupid on the filter updaters' part.

 

hey, i was just curious, what language is ad written in, (for noobs I mean computer language) Java or what

 

SWEET! HUGE tabs though. And the black bar could be another color! I think the main site is cold fusion (.cfm), thats macromedia's (i dont like saying Adobe) soloution for dynamic pages.

 

It took a day or 2 to get used to it, but I think it looks great. I can tell many hours went into it, simply for the fact that there are so many different languages or computer codes that its hard to get things bug free.
Those hours are appreciated.

 

it's impossible to bug free, when one bug is fixed it causes another problem, and so on an so forth, until some can creat a machine language that si different from now, bug will always be in our lives.

Has anybody found a fix to this, I used IE to see the new page, and it looks awesome, but AD just ain't the same on Firefox.

 

you have to either uninstall the filterset or deal with the castrated top.

 

speaking of AD blocking,I ahd a Ad blocker that could block and remove all ads from msot sites made AD and gamespot seem CLEAN but I forgot what ti was cant recall if it was zone alrm or a Firefox exstention ><

 

Adjusting to the new layout isn't working for me. It feels incomplete...

- Guess I should have read this first but, it took me about 10 minutes to find the "My Account" link.

The tabs stick out worse than any other graphical change. For example:

- Why, when I am on a page, is tab is green? There isn't any other graphics on the page of the color green.

- The tabs are round(and green) but, the page is square and the colors do [bold]not[/bold] match.

I hope there are plans to finish the rest of the page. Are there?

- I like the wider page.

- Like the experimenting with colored text. Also, I'm glad for this. Both, the link and the parsing improvement.

- Guess you could say I like all the BBML/UBB parsing improvements.

Edit: corrections.

 

I think the new style looks good, keep up the great work!

Lmao. You never cease to make me laugh.

Looks good, more modern. I miss the old one, but theres nothing im gonna do about it. Also, i dont visit the site to see how prettyful it looks, i come cause im addicted to you peeps! Lol.

 

thanks drd, just wondering, I'm learning programing (finally), it's about the only thing I don't know about computers

 

Most of time these days change is bad because changes are made to mask problems or what not but Imust say GOOD JOB! AD obviouly some people will be upset at first but once they get used to it they will hopefully like it.

Cudooos....

 

the changes are god I ahve seen far worse soem sites go from nice simple layouts to over the top crap where you cant find your way.

in all it needs tweaking but keep on it ^^

 

wow!!! they really do listen to me!
