obviously still in progress
RE: new homepage - Kei - May. 10, 2008
Looks good so far!
Just one minor typo I think:
Quote:Beywiki is the world's online Beyblade encyclopedia, written by skilled Bladers from all over the world
Should have the "by" in there.

Did you change the font too? Maybe it's just me, but the font feels smooth on my eyes.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 10, 2008
Yes, I changed it to Verdana to match the board.
RE: new homepage - Kei - May. 10, 2008
I dig the new background image, too bad you can't really see any of it.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 10, 2008
Haha yeah but such is the nature of background images! It was only done to add a little depth.
RE: new homepage - Roan - May. 11, 2008
I think the front page is much better now.
I like the little update boxes, they're very handy.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 11, 2008
btw if anyone has any suggestions they would be more than welcome!

Having a image or something linking to the forums on one of the two bottom boxes would be nice. Right now it's only on the navigation on the left.

That's what I'm working on now, actually!
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 11, 2008
forums are on the homepage now what do you think?

It looks good but I think maybe it should be higher up on the page?
Where it is now its unlikely that most people will scroll down and see it.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 11, 2008
there's not really anywhere else to put it
actually i could probably get rid of "message from staff" and stick the list of topics there?

This could work.

RE: new homepage - Pich - May. 11, 2008
i kinda liked it better the way it was before, but some people may not scroll down so I guess its good
RE: new homepage - Siliva - May. 11, 2008
The front page kinda feels like a database now. Great work, Brad.
The new background looks awesome, and I just love the whole feel of it. What's the "xxx" for at the bottom, though?
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 11, 2008
the xxx is just placeholder text

Yeah I think that's much better because as soon as you load the page you can clearly see "Beywiki Forums".
Just curious, is there anyway for you to track the number of hits on the Wiki? I'm just wondering if the amount has increased lately since the announcement of the new series.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 12, 2008
I can check the usage statistics when I get home, but I'm not really concerned with it haha.
RE: new homepage - Roan - May. 12, 2008
Well it doesn't really matter, I was just wondering. lol
I'm curious how much the wiki is actually being used now that beyblade is coming back because its been sort of at a stand-still update wise lately.
I suppose what I'm getting it is that hopefully more people are coming to the Wiki and then in turn coming to the forum. We've had a lot of new members sign up lately and I was just curious if this was related directly to the Wiki or not.
RE: new homepage - Bey Brad - May. 12, 2008
I think that once updates to the Wiki become more consistent we will definitely see a surge of traffic. TBH while it is still under such a heavy development state, I think it's best if we don't see statistics; it isn't something we should be preoccupied with.
