New Skin for Geckos Unlimited

[Marty]

OK, the skin for GU is now online. Should be pretty easy on the eyes. There will be a lot of tweaking in the near future.

The basic layout of the site is "Site Menu" on the left and "Forum Menu" at the top. To move b/w different options on the site, use site menu, to do anything forum related use the Forum Menu. Should be easy enough.

Also, I don't know who had banners on the old site, I'd have to contact Nathan, but to welcome all of you to the new GU, I'm going to offer 6mts of free advertising to anyone with gecko/herp related venture (excluding other gecko forums - sorry)

If you want to advertise, email me the following information:

• Banner: 468x60px
• Link: Where the banner Should link
• Your Real Name:
• Your E-mail Address where you'd like the reports to go:
• User: (I don't want your forum user/pass, this is so you can log into the ad server and view statistics on your ad)
• Pass: (something that you can remember, or I can email you one)

e-mail it to marty (at) geckosunlimited.com

Still tweaking... if you use the site menu it might be throwing you from www.geckosunlimited.com to geckosunlimited.com at which point you'll be logged out... Working on resolving the problem...

Hey Marty,

The New Skin looks great... one thing I've noticed is it is a bit too wide for my browser width wise.

 

[Marty]

Hm... What resolution are you running? I'll look into it, it does seem a bit wide

Yeah, mine too. 1024x768. Curiously, it fits just right on this Reply to Thread page.

 

[Marty]

I'll work on that... There's a lot of things I have to work out. Work in progress ...

Like the new layout, and read/unread threads are a lot easier to "choose at a glance," for lack of a better phrase.

A little narrower layout would be great for when I browse on a non-maximized window (at work) but otherwise usability feels fine so far.

Whoa! I come home and check out here. I must say nice job Marty. Keep it up.

 

[Marlies]

Ow my! What a difference! But the change is for the better if you ask me. Great job on the new skinn Marty!

 

[Go_on]

Marty nice new categorie icons

 

[Marty]

I know :biggrin:

not entirely sure I like'em yet completely, might change them still, but for now they're OK

 

[Go_on]

I would make them a little bit smaller, not to much, a few px.
