Well the new face of http://www.grandmarq.net is up and running, but not 100% complete. The tech section is unfinished right now, just links to the forums, but eventually i would like to have actual article pages with write-ups/pictues/etc.I will need some help getting those all put together though. Let me know what you think, and if there are any problems. Also you might need to change your bookmarks if they are set to grandmarq.net/vb/ unless you want to just go straight to the forums. BTW, the higher your screen resolution is the better it looks. :merk:

I Like it!! Only think I would change would be that it opens another page rather than just moving along.

Looks great mang. But the link to the chat is GMNChat2, and the new one is GMNChat3. Not a big deal, just noticing that.

Aha! Thanks mang!

Looks good, but as FiP said, having the links open in the same window would be better. Good job!

No slow loading for me. Either your connection is not good right now, or something is wrong with one of the hubs between the server and you.

Suggestions: Ditch the frames!! And ditch the boarder around the "Forums" "Tech Info" "Links" etc buttons.

Ok, the chat link is fixed, i never even knew we had a new one

There shouldn't be two scroll bars, the top frame is set to be a certain size w/ no scroll bar. But i'l look into that.

Also ther shouldn't be any borders around the buttons but then again internet explorer makes everything look like shit. Can someone with a pc and IE post a screenshot of what the page looks like. And also let me know what your screen resolution is, thanks in advance

Looks good to me. Was actually looking at it a minute ago before I even saw this thread.

RE: tech articles, if I was to write one, who should I send it to, and what format is preferred ? Keep in mind my utter lack of skillz in this department. It would be using OpenOffice 1.2, which can chug out html but no guarantee how decent it is. Could probably do it as a .doc too.

Thanks for the screenshot. I'm pretty sure i fixed the borders around the images issue. I am also trying to make it look better for all screen resolutions, especially the smaller ones.

You can send it to me, you dont need to worry about putting it in html format or anything, a .doc works fine, i really just need the actual text, and pictures, and where the pics go within the text.

Great work on the front page.

Would it be possible to add a link to our chat room(s)?

Can you make the links on the front page open in the same window?

Looks nice. A little to the basic side though. Maybe add like a news page to the front and links down the side? Also, it takes a while to load the images and I am using T1 connection. I think the words in the links could be just fonts.

I am working on a new layout for this site, if you guys don't use it so be it, if you do I will be happy. I basically doing this for practice to brush up on my PhotoShop, HTML, and PHP skills for school. I am pretty sure you guys will like the results of my layout ;).
