UNVEILED : New look and feel for TGO

[TGO David]

I think I have fixed the broken images in MSIE.

I will work on getting the HCP, MIL, LEO, and Gender icons back in. That was on my list of things to do but I just hadn't gotten to that just yet.

[Guest RISC777]

Noticed threads previously read/viewed aren't up to date. Threads with new and unread (per the system) posts are in bold, but threads I know I've read before are in bold indicating not read. Not a big thing, though.

Really looks good. Easy on the eyes and easy to read.

I was a little nervous when I saw there would be a change. If I see one more gun web site where their high school kid webmaster thinks black makes a good background; I think I’ll puke.

[Guest Grizzly Johnson]

I think it looks more up to date also.........nice job guys!!!

[Mark@Sea]

Tungsten, it helped me a lot! I've got narrow bandwidth out here, and I couldn't get the previous version to load. This version is coming up in 5 minutes or so, a great improvement.

Thought you'd like to know.....

My Cheerios are missing!!

I blame the new layout.

[TGO David]

You cant tell who has a HCP or military or gender. Overall it looks very good though.

This is fixed now.

Looks good

[TGO David]

I can't access the photo gallery.

I bet you were trying to access it from the Front Page. If you were, that link was wrong. It's probably been wrong for a long time now. Not sure why I hadn't noticed it before, but it is fixed finally.

Perhaps we could alter the color of the actual forums from blue to something that matches the background and banner better?

[PackinMama]

I like it. You did a very nice job Tungsten! I was really worried it would be too dark and hard to read, like a lot of forums are doing these days. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw it today.

Thanks for giving us Tennessee gun nuts a nice place to hang out

Looks GREAT!!!!!!

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

I like it. I do have one minor quibble, though: the "Go to first new post" image on a forum list page is a little small IMO. Seems like it takes a little more conscious effort than before to get my mouse cursor on it. Maybe you could just add some whitespace padding to the image to make the clickable area larger?

I'm referring to this icon, BTW:

Thanks for the hard work.

Which portions are you talking about?

Yeah I'm not real crazy about it either. I'll work on replacing it tomorrow.

[musicman]

Sweet!! Yea, I just noticed that button was a lot harder to target than in the previous layout. Thanks!

+1. All my concerns are relieved. You may carry on now.

Could you change the online color back to green? It was a lot easier to see than the orange.

[TGO David]

Yep... that's a pretty easy fix. I'll do it today.

This is done. The new icons are a lot easier to interpret, I think. Online is green, offline is red and invisible is black.

I just added a First New Post icon. It's shown above as it replaced the one you originally quoted. Let me know what you all think.

[shaftbass]

I like the new look!

[musicman]

That new first post icon is good. Thanks!
