The concept is great - a place for films and info!
They just need to tweak the color scheme.

Excellent idea to make the site more cohesive.

WTG, Htc.

Buttons accross the top don't seem to like Mozilla. The "Home" button works, but "Game Info" through "Support" are not indicating links or pull-downs.

Suggestion:

add waffle's site to the "community / useful links" for his gunsight package, and possibly netaces for their help files

question:

are you accepting screenshots for the "comming soon" screenshot section? if so is there a size / resolution prefered?

You need Java script for the pull downs. I did go through a WWW ratification to be sure the pages are all compliant with the currentl HTML/Java specifications.

However, I will be adding some things to detect lack of java and present another page.

Yeah - I'd like it if HTC could host / use those sights. Getting ready to wipe my website clean someday...lol

It did need updating, but...

The new color scheme, particularly on the BB is hard on the eyes.

The Ki-61 is a Ki-61-I-Tei and is so labeled in AH2. In AH1 is was labeled as a Ki-61-I-KAIc.

The Ki-84 is a Ki-84-I-Ko, but it is labeled as Ki-84-Ia in AH. I know it is a separate issue, but I wishthe two used a consistant naming policy.

Very cool look on the new website. Love the color scheme.

As for the buttons, I've always had trouble with the BBS working in Firefox, so I browse the board with IE.

Damn this looks spiffy! :)

Ditto.

I dont think the colors are so bad.
Just different.
And will take a bit getting used to.
Though I think Gold letters for the links to the forums woulda looked nicer then the orangish color.
But so far I like what I see

The P-47D-40 is labeled as a P-47D-30.

The T-34 is not listed, there is no Russian vehicle category.

2big, that is not a problem. It it complaining about a DIV which is only used in conjunction with the roll over scripts. As such, it has no properties, which is fine.

Karnak, we have a lot of owrk to do with the models yet.

Ouch out

While youre at it: What about Netaces and Sodas Page? They a great help for New Players as well. ...and for 'vets'.

Title: New Home Page
Post by: Skuzzy on July 26, 2005, 07:36:07 PM

Going to be adding Soda's and Hammer's pages to the links.

There is still a lot to do.

Yep, it's great that you guys are redesigning the site, but please give support to Firefox users like me. I just plain don't use IE, and it'd be a pain to have to switch back and forth just to see the forums.

It looks great and the colors for the BBS are good, I could say the only thing I really don't like is the top of the BBS.

For me it sticks nearly a quarter of the page down, Take away the Yellow bar, (Unless it will be used for banners :D).

Title: New Home Page
Post by: Skuzzy on July 26, 2005, 07:54:25 PM

Yes, that is one reason the bar is there Nef. Banners coming soon.

Title: New Home Page
Post by: ChickenHawk on July 26, 2005, 10:12:09 PM

I agree. Even if your going to have banners the top takes up way too much room.

I hope that they change the gold-on-tan font-color scheme at the forum and thread levels of the bulletin board (the levels at which you click on the forum or thread you want to go into). Also, when you mouse over and get the light gold on tan, it is even less contrast and harder on the eyes.

Once you are inside a thread, reading messages, it is decent -- black on tan gives much better contrast.

Actually that is a problem. Layers are excluded from W3C in HTML 4.01 trans and above and Firefox/Mozilla don't support those.
