Ok guys as you can see the theme is now in place. Took some time but it's looking good. If you would like to see some changes let me know. But as it stands I think 100% it look great.


Some notable changes are as follows.


Chat room - Yes that's right, Installed it a few minutes. ago and wow is it great. This can be found in two areas. 1. link at the top 2. at the top of the main forums area.


Navigation - As you might see, I removed the dated list style navigation from the left and added it all to the top of this page. These are subject to change and I'm open to organization methods to do this. Also you might notice that the "What's New" crap is gone. Most notably is the Forums drop down tab at the top. This tab has a drop down that points to the Main Forums, or to the more specific areas that are frequently visited. If you don't like the way this is set up, let me know and I will fix it.


Guild Applications - I found a better way for people to submit guild applications and its much cleaner and easier to read. Its "Mercio" friendly to change and alter so this is in his hands to build the new application. Please note I'm looking into a way to make it so that it posts in 2 forums at 1 time. Council knows why.


Things in the works


I'm currently looking into a system in which to implement an image/video gallery that is close to that of what Xfire provides. Main difference being you much manually upload them. Our current system allows for users to make their own Albums and upload pictures in their control panel. This system is great, but I'm going to try and make it easier to view all photos deemed public by the user.


Blogs/twitter - I'm looking into ways to bring blogs and twitter into the mix. You'll see.....

What seems to be wrong with it? Frankly that old theme was ugly. This has a bit of professionalism with a hint of gamer.<O:p</O:p

In my opinion,it lacks the Star Wars/Sith feel the previous one had...

I am a naysayer too then, and I bought the darn license.

I think the tools are GREAT that you are adding, however as TJ said I miss the overlaid Sith graphics instead of this white background.

You bought it your right. But none of you have offered any kind of constructive critisism.

None of that tells me what yall would like done. Minus the white backround.

How about instead of critisising and reminding me that you own in (Madbent) how about a comprehensive breakdown as to what exactly yall want and ill implement it.

Don't get upset Timmy, all I wanted is what you just did... make the colors like they were.

I'm happy right now. So happy, that in fact I popped a woody as I just logged back in to the site to see the colors like they were.

Bravo!

I finished the new application. I think it's pretty good and will serve our purposes very well.

Well, i can see f i can make it fit however not all of us have tiny 15 inch monitors and unlike you we can see 1440 and 1680. But yea i think i can get that. And we are a guild until otherwise noted by the game. Faction is an MXO thing not an SWTOR thing. SWTOR calls them guilds as found by clicking http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=36 .
