to do list on new template 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
1.MAMDIP : The thing is that I care more about the user friendlyness with this kind of thing than the colours etc. I was a little confused though, because usually when I see a + in a menu it means that I can click it and sub menues will appear...but in this case I guess not...hehe
----thank you MAMDIP ,I have change the + to a circle.

2 Zharahk :. Seem to be having a problem with firefox also. If I logon and read a message the page keeps reloading.
delboy : can see it with this link http://www.dalianxpat.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/
Itemid,28/func,view/id,9146/catid,28/
-----thank you Zharahk .It works now,have a look.

3.delboy : the source of my problem is that Internet Explorer is wrapping the text in the forum entries, whereas firefox isn't
---thank you delboy ,could you give more detail,the exact web url would be better. I have tested some ,it works.

4.plizman : Please do something about text size and colors on this template.
----thank you plizman .May be you mean the font-size is too small.you can CTRL+SCROLL OF MOUSE,it becomes bigger,have a try.hope I get your meaning.Now working on the colors on the new template.

Hope more suggestions,thanks a lot!

Now that I've had time to come back in different light, it is really the colors. The text colors are too faint and blend with the backgrounds too easily. It makes for hard reading.

First of all, very well done, I appreciate the hard work you're putting in...but can you make it a bit more cooler, right now the colors and all give it a grannyish look...just a suggestion!
Keep up the good work!

Re:to do list on new template 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
For the last week I've been only using the new template to get a feel for it. The color scheme is nice and it looks a little less jumbled than the old template. So, it does look good. You guys are doing a really good job.

A few things that I might suggest though are as follows:
1) Putting the selection tool for screen size back on.
2) Making sure the text stands out against the background.
3) Making the banner/sub-banner smaller or only putting the sub-banner (one with the pic of the day) on the frontpage.

I'll attempt to explain what I mean below:

1) I run my computer on both a 13" and a 32" monitor. Both are widescreen and there is a lot of wasted space on the sides. With the old template I always chose wide-screen and it made the page easier to work with. Many people here use laptops and most of the newer ones have widescreens, so this would help them out.

2) The softer colors are really nice and easy to read on the front page, but blend in with the light blue background on the posts. The text still is hard to read on many of the posts, especially while typing one up. The light blue text while typing on the white background when typing up a post. And, it is nearly impossible to read, especially if there is a glare on your monitor.

I'd recommend not using the light blue for typing up posts, but rather something a little darker or heavier (black would even be nice just for typing). It also would be nice to see the text darkened up, just a little bit, on the posts to improve readability against the blue background.

3) The "picture of the day" on the frontpage is really nice. It is great to see more pics of Dalian and the surrounding areas. It becomes a burden though when navigating through the pages. On a widescreen monitor you cannot even start to read a post without scrolling down. Would it be possible to only put the pick on the frontpage or make it collapsible?

So far, I really like the new template. The design is pleasant. You are putting a lot of hard work into it and it shows! Keep up the good work.
