Thought I'd open a general discussion here on how we feel about the way the site looks and handles. Better than occasional comments in the shoutbox and I feel like this should be a distinct discussion to the suggestion thread.
First off I'll say that the site becoming wider was huge for me at least. The old narrow style was probably the main reason I couldn't settle into the place. I really like this but am aware of other preferences, maybe we could do options but I feel like this should be the standard.
Then colours. I found the original red a bit much, the new teal/blue is much easier to look at, but I think I still find there to be too much white. Also the teal doesn't harmonise too well with the old amarna banners.
Next, the banners. I like that we saved several. Will we make new ones? Do we generally like how the top of the site looks? Should the banners be centered? Should we design new ones on a blue theme or will we perhaps change the blue?
Last thought, how did everyone feel about how old amarna looked? I personally liked how there was little white and generally not too much colour. Was like various shades of paper. I don't know how much thought Sphag put into that and how much was just how that old forum thing made everything look but I think it was a good generic forum look.
All things considered for now I'm pretty happy with how new amarna looks. How about everyone else? And of course I'd like Chud to see this thread since he's the one putting in the work. I'm sure we're all very appreciative of what's been done so far and the continued effort to work on the site after getting it up. As has been said in the shoutbox already it seems like we're actually alive again, this feeling is what drove me to make this thread. We're alive, now we can concern ourselves with being good.
