Main board page headings

Post by nitro »

Hi,
I don't usually enter the forums through the main page. I have a bookmark for the forums.
I just noticed if you click on the flashing "Forum" button the main page, the page presented has the "Links" title blue box at the top (same as the links page).
Not sure if this was intentional...If so just ignore me :gag:.

It may be as designed but it seems out of place. All the other pages have the same heading as the selection on the left. (Except Main which has "Welcome" but this seems to make sense and is not a duplicate)
The Links page has "Links" at the top so I expected the Forum page to have "Forum" at the top. I understand it is just a link to the forum but the same could be said about the other pages. (eg. just links to sotries, etc).

Sorry for joining in late here, have been away for a while... :hi:

I like the discussions about these small issues. It shows me that people care about the site. :D

The forum button was originally a link directly to the forum, opening in a new window or tab. I did a quick fix to make it behave in a less surprising manner by changing it to what it is today. (See here for background: http://forum.boundanna.net/board/viewto ... 089#p27202)

The header graphics should really say Forum, just as pointed out. But because it was a quick fix I did not take the time to make a new header. And I do not even know if I could do a new header for it. I might not have the font any more. Besides, there are much more complicated problems to solve on the main site and unfortunately only a complete redesign could address those issues. Therefor I do not want to invest to much time into polishing the current design but I will fix it if I find the font somewhere. It does not hurt keeping things tidy even when they are disintegrating before ones eyes, does it? :mrgreen:

The problems with the current design is not apparent unless you are a webdesigner as the problems are mostly hidden from view. The site works rather good as it is but it is far from a good design and updating the site is a pain sometime. :lol: But I love the website and no design issues will change that.

Thanks Nitro. I would not have any idea what I would need help with right now because I do not even know what I want to do, if anything.
