i wabnt your opinions and critisism on all the new design and funcuionality features i'll number em to make it ez to critique each thing
and plz feel free to be hypercriticle of every minor detail including font sizes etc
- total redesign of front page ( www.dreadlockssite.com ) moved the share buttons down menu up added the "shading" (i'll call it that for each element i added it on) to the table to highlight and add definition and give it a more professional look added the shading to the menu too to make it more defined and stand out more added the new "quicklinks" (i'll call it that too) tabove the menu this gives instant access to all pages guides forum sections (i left a couple out that didnt want to emphasize) added a photo of geee chin
- main page/sitewide added shading on the account links and signup/signin box
- added shading on main page forum topics and blog posts lists
- on forums added the shading on forum posts and replies reduced max image width to compensate
- addedan "accordian" style thingy that collapsed the site mission statement and full guides/pages and forum links sectiions into 3 links that expand out once clicked
- added the quicklinks dropdown above the menu
- streamlined the menu into an easier more intuitive style with dropdowns for subheadings
- added catagories to blog posts
- added a "report spam" link under inbox messages (we have only had 1 spammer since adding the new donation system that spammed inboxes from groups using the send message to groups feature now if you receive spam in youir inbox take a screenshot click the link to mesage me add the username (link to profile wil help too) and screenshot and they will be removed quickly)
- added a live chat indicator to make chat easier to fined (many had been here a year b4 finding the chat)
- added a scrolling text "welcome please join" message at the very tip this is customizable and can have links added so we can change the text anytime for special announcements
- minified as much code ass i could to speed up load times (even though i added alot of code its faster now)
- added a scrollbar on the main page blogs display to compensate for the relatively shorter left collumn from the collapsing mission statement and links
- minor minor detail but the share buttons (except on the front page) had periods "." next to them these periods were nesacary because of how ning handles "empty" span code it would strip the code away everytime i saved it if there wasnt something there so u may notice you no longer see these "."'s thats not cause they arent there but cause i set the font color to 1 almost exactly the same as the background (if they wre exactly the same search engines penalize u for tryig to hide text) so by making it 1 byte diferent u cant see it but its not exact so its ok
- i feel like theres more i did but cant remember so if u see anything else i forgot i guess discuss it here
