Re: This will help FFR as a whole

The contact email sounds like a good idea. Each member should have a contact email so that they can have a receipt for their payment. Is there an idea on monthly/bi-annual/annual pricing?

Contact email would be what... blahblah@flashflashrevolution.com?
BTW Synth, you have a few 'noticeable' spelling errors. First one I see is 'acquired' and then 'expensive'... Missing a few letters... Not tryin to be a smartass or anything though.

My eyes crossed when I read that. Seriously.

I'm glad to hear you received a new server Synth. I hope it takes a load of stress off you.

Re: This will help FFR as a whole

To be honest, I liked the old layout in the upper part a LOT more than I like this one.

It's probably just because you were used to it. Or maybe your resolution is so high that its hard to see. But if you are running 1024x768, it all looks pretty good to me. I like the banner at the top, with all the faded arrows and stuff. Only thing I don't like about it is how all the arrows are going the same direction (Copy and paste? :P)

But all in all, I say the site looks 'cleaner'

Re: This will help FFR as a whole

Yea, now that I look at it in FireFox as well as IE, (I thought maybe it was just an IE problem I was having) it seems that the color scheme isnt wide enough, that or the site itself is too wide. I do have a scroll bar for left to right that I never had before, and the background color scheme shifts with it... Well, It cuts off halfway through all of the CP information on the right, including the most recent forum posts. Makes it pretty difficult to read. I like the idea though.

Please don't tell me you are at 800x600.

No, I run at 1024x768, 32 Bpp, so I don't see why this should happening. 800x600 is way too big and blocky for me. I can barely even play SM at that resolution.

EDIT : Doesn't happen on the forums, just the front page. Also, I think there should be a Home button at the top.

1280x1024 is the absolute lowest resolution I'm willing to use, and the buttons are too small, in my opinion. I liked the old one a lot.

1280x1024 is probably the highest resolution you can use.. 800x600 is most likely the lowest unless you go back a few generations and have 640x480. Maybe you have them backwards?

ToshX said willing to use, not can use. So he(?) can go lower than that, but won't. Highest resolution available depends on your monitor. I run mine at the highest I can -- 1680x1050 (it's a widescreen laptop). My lowest resolution choice is 800x600. My old laptop that had problems with FFR had a max of something like 1920x1200. But yes, I suspect that using 1024x768 instead of 800x600 is a better choice with today's monitors. Most people probably aren't running that that low anymore.

As for the general layout, it looks OK to me. The top menu buttons are a bit small, but I don't really find them to be a problem. It looks like the top buttons are running over the bottom border of the logo on some pages viewed in IE, but unless I specifically track it, I'm not sure how prevalent this is. I think they look fine on the main page, IE and Firefox, but when I go to other pages, they enlarge in both browsers enough to overflow the bottom in IE, but not Firefox. I kind of like having some of those community and statistics links up near the top again.

Sort of an aside, but would any of these resolution-related changes affect the way images are displayed here? The new signature looks a little blurry/blocky in IE, but not in Firefox. Just curious.
