'Never Leave Me'
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I have no idea why you didn't see background in the others--only the board logo had a transparent background. I tried them out on b.net, and they're messy in other distinct colours. I'm not sure whether it's an upgrade to lose the crisp edges, even if the rectangle is obtrusive.
Other opinions?
Such is the limitation of GIF transparency.
Indeed. At the time I designed all the graphics, I didn't think other colored backgrounds were an issue, so I didn't bother trying to make them transparent. But they would probably look crappy on other colored backgrounds transparent or not.
I tried a transparent-backed PNG for the message center image, and it still looks like crap. Can you try one from the good original, just to see?
Also, do you have time to look through the CSS again? I found a handful of pages that were still using hardcoded formatting, and between that and the diagramming I was wondering if anything could be cleaned up. I'd at least like to ask you some questions about the current styling so I can beef up the comments in the file so I don't make the same stupid mistakes I made this morning.
I'm pretty busy with other projects at the moment, but I'll see what I can do. You can always email me with questions (I just answered (sort of) the one you sent.
Cool. Main other thing I'm thinking is missing are breadcrumbs for the folder structure. Where do you think they should go? I was thinking of making a list inline and putting it...maybe opposite the navbar, on the left side? Above or below them?
Also thinking that the navbar and the list of folders on the index/message center pages should be a collapsed list too, for semantic reasons, and for manipulation purposes.
ita, I don't think I understand your beep me post. Am I supposed to?
I think she Build a Better Boarded in Beep Me.
Tech! Tech in new places!
I love that JenP's post makes perfect sense to me.
That was supposed to be in Press. Oops. But it's probably not even important enough.
Basically, if you look here: Kristen "The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death" Apr 4, 2009 5:20:16 pm PDT you'll see that the folder name is in the header, and if you go here: DavidS "Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape" Feb 16, 2009 11:52:43 am PST you'll see it shows both levels.
Oh, breadcrumbs... I get it. Now.
I enjoy the breadcrumbs. Saves a step, potentially, if you're navigating the folders. Nice.
