Front page revision?

BenDee · 08-19-2003, 11:01 PM

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a revision to the front page? Is that all, or is that a temp fix until it is redesigned?

Good catch. I quit looking at the home page since it hadn't changed in so long. Definitely an improvment to get the stale news off of there.

Actually just one complaint, I can hardly read the text for the topic because of the contrast of using gray on blue. A simple fix would be to make the topics in black and the author and date in gray or some other color that's higher contrast.

That's certainly not it, just getting the database code working.

Hope to have the new front end up and running by week's end.

Who want's to beta test? Send me a PM.

Jeff, glad to see someone's working on it and I look forward to the changes

It looks good only complaint so far it's difficult to read with the color scheme. =)

I agree.

For example,

"A SIRIUS Conversation
tccannon, Wednesday 20 August 2003"

The top line blend into the background.

Amen to that.

I am but I haven't had a modem setup working for years. I had ISDN before DSL. When I built my last PC, I didn't even bother adding a modem.

I could test it on our Modem at work on Friday. We have a Test MSN Box setup that connects at 26.4Kbps all the time never faster never slower. But I couldn't test for very long.
