One last time.

If it gets voted down it goes back to the old style (with the new header) and will stay that way. It takes too many hours to try and do it a different way and you cannot please everyone. Which was one reason I hate trying to even attempt this but it seemed a few of you were interested in it.

There is probably more than 8 hours invested in this so far. Very little of that is in the buttons and header. Like I said this stuff takes a while to work out. If it stays, I may tweak on it a bit more, but this is it for the most part (buttons are one of the thing that need tweaking).

I like everything expect the red.  Maybe a different color.

there is a lot of red, but your still working at it..

Check out accessphoto for some ideas.. If I did the link right it should be white, silver and orange, if not go to the bottom and set the skin to Access_Temp (next to english). edit: link is good

sheepdog, imo if its taking all that time and is not something you want to do, don't waste energy on it. i dunno about everyone else, but i don't really mind one way or the other, and thought it looked good and functioned fine how it was.

New smilies?
« Reply #6 on: July 12, 2007, 06:59:46 AM »
Ok, as my other thread got closed, might as well post here:
Seeing how this new design is likely to be turned down (I like it but I'm a minority it appears) might we at least add some cool/funny smilies to spice up our conversations (can't imagine people complaining because of this)

Ok, here's my compilation of some must have smilies:

I'm not sure yet. It seems like there is too much red, and it doesn't match the header.

BTW the picture and links at the entrance to the site (M42club.com) isn't working.

Ok, went back to the original blue, and did some messing with it, I think it looks better than the red or the old looking blue.

Also, some new smileys are in the works as well as a different header.

Definitely looks better than the red them.

Is it just me or do the fonts look a bit 80's metal band type or some kind of goth expecting to see some dragons or knight in shining armour?;)
