Proposed Forum RemodelFor the past few days, I’ve been toying with the idea of rolling out a full board list remodel to give our forum a more distinctive look. It won’t be for another few days at the very least, as I still have some major kinks to work out. Below are some screenshots of the tester theme I’ve been working off of (click to enlarge): Another idea I had once I was done tinkering with this coding was to keep the current theme + layout model as an alternate skin, but have this new remodel be a default theme, enabling everyone who doesn't like this theme to easily switch back if they find they don't like the new remodel.
I don’t want to implement such a huge change without member input, though. What are your thoughts on the proposed new board layout and structure? Do you like the layout shown in the screenshots? Do you think we should even have a board remodel, or are things good the way they are now? Please share your opinions by replying to this thread and voting in the poll with your OOC Alias Account! Known Issues:- The images in the board descriptions are not vertically or horizontally centered. - The sub-board icon-links aren't aligned nicely with each other. - The category images would have to be redone to be properly centered with the rest of the board.

If those issues are fixed, I'm all for it.

Edit: Here's a screenshot of what the board remodel looks like with the category header images. (CLick to enlarge.)

The category header images make all the difference to me! It really sets off everything else well visually!

Beep boop! So I've been tinkering with coding and consulting the lovely folks over at Proboards Support and have made some headway. I'm still waiting on a solution to our description image issue, but I've worked out a possible alterative to the wonky un-aligned subboards: don't even display them on the main page. Example:I find this looks a heck of a lot more aesthetically pleasing, but I'd definitely appreciate thoughts on the matter!

Honestly? The second one looks a lot better to me. The pics are closer to being the same size as the text description, which doesn't tick off my OCD.
