Yeah, thats fine. >_<
I dont mean to be getting cranky about this, but just we keep jumping back and forth and its starting to just drive me crazy a little. When I post up an example, I'd LOVE to get feedback on -it- instead of just getting the brush off. I'm sorry, I dont mean to sound like a bitch, but how about-- Miz, I think that banner/those colors are too bright and maybe we should rethink the stormy idea? Instead of completely ignoring what I've posted and just posting up a bunch of other links. I can take criticism just fine, but what I can't take is someone ignoring my suggestions.
I'll give my two cents and then if you all want to take over the rework, then thats fine. I just hoped to get something up a few weeks before Halloween so we could take advantage of the activity ideas I posted and maybe use -that- as a way to get people excited about coming back.
-I dont like the use of pictures as the background. I think it looks tacky. I know with -this- one we were just trying to get a feel for the vibe we had talked about, but I'm just stating my opinion here.
-I REALLY like the look and feel of forum 1, 2 and 4 that you posted up.
I really like the color scheme on the fist

Um... Ok, Now I'm completely baffled because I wasn't under the impression I was trying to do that. I'm really not sure what you mean!!!!!! I'm confused because I was just trying to get some color ideas.. Not brush off anyone or anything like that. I was trying to figure out how things would look with codes and such.

Miz. Oooh... I hadn't seen the stuff you posted. Those would work too. I'm gonna put that bg thing up to see for a test.
And I'm just trying to help. I was just showing Lexi stuff about layouts and such and some samples of sites that I have built.

OKIES... CONVERSATION BETWEEN MIZ AND I ABOUT THE LAYOUT!~ LOL
*~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: Real quick.... Do we want the BLACK as the forum color itself? or do we want a black border with a color on top like Blood and lace? LIke.. Blood and Lace as the picture in the very back and then the BLACK border and then teh side bars and forum are the greenish brownish dark tone ChynaCat says: Hrm...I think I am partial to the color on top. XD I know the black is easiest when doing siggys and such, but the two tone is so pretty what do you think? *~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: I like the two tone too honestly.. and we can ALWAYS go with a deep enough color that sigs aren't going to be effected THAT much ChynaCat says: yeah, exactly <3 *~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: Soo... just so I have it clear in my head... we wanna go with Black, a mauve purple kind of color, and a brow? with maybe soem grey silver thrown in?? brown* and some* even ChynaCat says: yeah, I think that sounds good *~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: KK ChynaCat says: and once the color scheme is nailed down it'll be easier to do the graphics too *nodnod* *~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: Well, I will play with the colors on the board itself. Now that I kind of have a feel for what we are looking for.... It will be easier LOL That Black, White and red just made me go.... HMMMMMMMMMM ChynaCat says: me too *shudders* I think the idea was a good one, but on paper it just didn't look right XD *~THE SIMI~* I've got a pocket full of sunshine! says: EXACTLY LOL

The double banners are place holders, I'm trying to adjust the border around the forum. And the background picture Lexi wanted to see the colors. Just testing stuff.

ok.. for now. I'm leaving this as it is. I'll need to talk to both you guys about the graphics for the banners and sizes and stuff. Also about category banner sizes.... I think some of this stuff is why the main forum is smaller than it should be.
So, when we can all get a chance to talk would be good. Then I can fix some more things.

I think you're doing just fine Jenn <3 Whats wrong with the size? looks fine to me *shrugs* Why dont we just use the size of the banner thats up their now, and the size of the forums that is in place as well?

just if you notice... the forum itself is just a little bit smaller than the banner/menu bar up at the top and the block wehre the affiliates are... Which those are all 700px wide.
the main forum should be the same width as those and it's just a little bit thinner.
But, when we put in category graphics and if we are going to have the little graphics on the side of the boards. Like right now on the realm you have the different colored little dragons. Those will all affect the size of the forum.
plus there are some other codes to take out some things that like the line that says "Forum Name" usually we take that out so it makes the forum look cleaner with the graphics.

hehe...okay-- so sidebar graphics dont go to waste I wanted to explain which ones go to which. I made 'MIRROR, MIRROR' for the site videos -- 'ONCE UPON A TIME' was for the welcome, or site plot where we have the up scrolling intro to the forum (so we dont have to have the thing that says 'member made trailors' ) 'THE STORYTELLERS' are for the awards/MoTM <3 'WITCHING HOUR' is where we can put the season icon or graphic
