Matt 1,048 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Shortly after midnight I pushed the new LetsGoWings.com Forums template live. This updated includes updates across the board, from functionality to new features for some member groups. If you're experiencing any problems try refreshing/clearing your browser's cache. If you still experience issues please contact me via PM with your issue, a screenshot (if you can), and the browser type/version you're using. There'll likely be some minor tinkering as the template is put through its paces leading up to Thursday's game against the Lightning, so feel free to leave some feedback! (a quick note: the extra space up at the top in the white area is for the drop-down menu for the main portions of the site. since that is still a work in progress it's currently disabled, but the placeholder is there.) 5 seeinred, Vladifan, crotty99 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChelisChick 174 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 At first I thought, oh Lord don't tell me the Black Chicken has struck again! When I actually saw a topic for it though, I realized what was going on. It really looks good! I LOVE the banner timeline! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stinky fish taco Report post Posted February 15, 2011 i don't think having the first topic title more than halfway down the page is a good design. just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zombi 43 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Looks very nice. The only gripe I have is that the very top is reserved for ads, but I understand that the site has to make money. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 It's sexy. As others said, ads are annoying but it's what helps pay for the site, so I'll try clicking a few. Thanks so much for all that you do for this community! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks for the comments and feedback, everyone. Trust me, I'd love to do away with *all* of the ads, but it's simply not an option. The site maintenance costs (monthly hosting, upgrades, subscriptions, etc.) continue to steadily rise. Without them to offset those costs this community simply does not exist. I'm always trying to find ways to make the ads more effective individually so they can be less intrusive, but it's a delicate balance and doesn't always work. If you love this community as much as I do and want to see it continually grow you can contribute directly by becoming a 'Booster', which removes some of the ads and also gives you access to more site features (exclusive forums and chat features, among others). I pour as much of my free time as I can into making this place better for every visitor -- and I genuinely appreciate the feedback I get! Thank you! 3 crotty99, wings1110 and Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 As Matt said, the best thing to do is to be a booster, trust me when i say, it is well worth the money! Not only does it help Matt, but there is a hot tub with you name on it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Whoa! The forum is wearing the away jersey! Although for most of my youth it was the home jersey. And long before that, when the gentle brontosaurus roamed, it was the away jersey again! Anyways, neat looking layout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted February 15, 2011 I'd prefer to call it the "Winter Classic" version rather than the away jersey. 2 55fan and Dano33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
