Post Improvement Ideas
I think it's about time the site got a revamp and new features added. It needs optimizing anyway as the way the CSS is done is a fooking joke and should of been revised after testing.

As soon as I get this damn coursework out the way i'll have lots of free time to work on the site. Has anyone got any ideas of things that could be improved, things that need adding etc.
Annoying graphically i'm stuck until my laptop is fixed but get the ideas down nevertheless.

My skills graphically and codeing wise have improved immensely since the site was designed so gimmy what you got.

I've reset my laptop so i'm back on windows. Not sure for how long as the hard drive is dying as we speak. Mite try and never shut it down after installing everything i need if I can lol. Anyway hopefully that means the stock pile of photos I have can go up and the development of CSR v6.0 can begin. :D

Well i'd like our site to have some also. Unfortunately i don't have Photoshop at the mo so if anyone would like to step in and make some that would be sweet?

Somethings about 110 x 40 px would be great.

I have been messing around today with ideas for a new design. So far i got this...

Image

The menu will be redish and horizontal below the image. The side bar that's free will be for random info like latest topic on the forum, how many people are on the forum, pic of the day etc etc. Image should alternate if we can find other good shots.

What do you reckon so far, any ideas?

Cheers man, well i had the curve and banner image idea from the start and began making it in Adobe Illustrator as the curve tools are far superior in there. Unfortunately i realized i don't have Illustrator at home so switched to Adobe Photoshop so i could continue. Probably for the best as I prefer Photoshop overall. Anyway I got a curve that I was kinda happy with and it's coming along.

Any improvement suggestions?
Got an ideaish for the menu.
Kinda need ideas for the background, at the mo it's just light grey or a light grey suttle fade.
Need more images that will work in the banner.
Not sure if there needs to be a gap at the top?

I may even be able to put the new site up in a crude form tonight as because it's in object-oriented php it should be relatively easy to implement.

The new banner looks class dave ! As for the ideas for background etc, i think it looks alrite at the mo with the steel plate effect but i think the grey suttle fade may look cool

Ok, this is as far as i got now. This is the real thing this time btw not just a mock up, running along side the live site.

More stuff needs to be added to the bar but the ideas i currently got u'll be hard. Plus i need more ideas of stuff to go on there?

Anyway, which looks better. Right or Left bar?

Right

Left
