Rough Draft of Potential New Design Colors
Hey guys, what would you prefer, the current Blue border background like we have now with drop shadows around the edges (Current), or a blue nav bar along the top with Grey along the sides with more muted greys to tone down the brightness of the site:
A or B?
Current:

Proposed ROUGH new design:

B. It makes the nav bar stand out much more and there's just a bit too much blue border in the current design
Cosigned.
agree...likely won't start on this until August as we finish up the header / notification fixes, etc...but it's in the works.
This
I see B anyway... is this incorrect? Serious...
you serious?
B - makes the navigation bar pop out more and site doesn't need to be that bright. Could be a lighter shade of blue instead of gray?
Agree with B.
Also, I would make the search bar is permanently expanded. I don't know if I was just blind or what, but it took me forever to find it and I can see new users not realizing it is there.
cool, thanks guys - looks like we have an easy decision so far...I figured we could tone down the brightness a bit and people wouldn't mind (better for work too).
I still don't like everything about Design B (header needs to flwo better), but I think it's a starting point we can work with....
Thanks
I agree with B. On the topic of making the header flow better: I think I remember you mentioning in some thread that it would recede when scrolling down and reveal itself again when a user scrolls up. Might that still be in the works? Just curious.
B. grey
this still on the list but lower priority behind notifications for replies...so that i dont have to keep quoting you for you to get notified that I've responded :-) ...and also so you can jump to those PMs directly from your bell icon.
also fixing the FB like button which broke last week, etc...the notification change is unfortunately not an easy one so will likely take most of today/tomorrow to get working...
So the new color/design may take a few weeks to a month before we can push it live.
Thanks
i vote for b as well
Also vote for B

Not exactly on topic, but the current layout is broken when using Internet Explorer
(I know, I know, but I'm at work)
i see some of the author lines are wrapping...is that what you mean?
Also, B
Make the background a darker color, white's great, but darkness adds a great tint to the website.
when you say broken, can you be more specific? just loaded in IE and lokos fine to me (only issue is Follow Us is hovering over thumbs up icon)
The image links are broken.
really? I still see them...
It may be my location but following the links to the images returns me a 404 dialogue.

yeah, that location works fine for me....
just updated the notifications so that replies now generate PMs (you can easily toggle this off) and what you can read under your bell should be the last 10 messages in your inbox...with the unread ones in a light yellow...
I'll post screen caps tomorrow, but the "right side" of the header (when looking at the screen) is really hard to read or use, including what you just mentioned
odd, works in my IE9....we just updated the notifications and what you can read under your bell should be the last 10 messages in your inbox...with the unread ones in a light yellow...
