Keep the Orange. It maes mess.be loads different from alot of other websites. (I haven't seen another orange site anywhere.) Maybe you should have an ibar down the side of the page like on this website: Clicky (skip the intro to see what I mean. Or watch it if you want.
![]() Also, I am working on the tutorilas for The GIMP, but I still haven't thought of a way to relate them to messenger. ![]() |

Said before and i say it again :
Lite version of the main page, with maybe just the news and some text ads to support it.. And, have more universal newsposters, time-zones do matter. |

mess.be = orange, fact, wont change, never but its done even more subtile then the forum its orange look.
just a little note on people who dont like the hotlinking, the new system does not use frames anymore, so the entire layout is loaded on the page, thanks to this we can disable hotlinking and still show the entire site as it`s supposed to be (the hotlinking was used because a lot of sites started to link to our download frames from their site,) |

Why not set it as UTC time zone. that way people can take off or add on what the time is or whatever.

[right][snapback]23014[/snapback][/right] I think this is a great idea. Also, if you are going to have the MSN Messenger chat window images surrounding the banner like the current one, you can change them from blue to orange since MSN Messenger chat windows have been colourable (word?) for ages now. Don't use green text with red links like the current layout because people with certain types of colour blindedness (word?) can't tell the difference between red and green. Don't put in useless links: QUOTE translate (experimental) to Spanish, Portugese, Italian, German, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Explicit, Fontalicious, Teen or Mess. The majority of them don't work. Finally, you knew i'd ask: Where are the damn screenshots? ![]() |

QUOTE Finally, you knew i'd ask: Where are the damn screenshots? Its in a very early stage and I assume Tim doesn't want people seeing the early attempts as it may not provide a realistic view for the final site. |

It's not useless. Tis for messers to click links to go to alternative sites. (I think thats what your talking about)

QUOTE it will be XHTML Strict (works fine in any browser) Just because something is standards compliant doesn't mean it will work fine in any browser. Also for XHTML strict you can't use the target attribute on links, which is what I assume mess.be will do with external sites - you would have to use some sort of javascript to do this.I for one am looking forward the new site, and thank god that it is going to be orange! The orange sets this place out from the others. It's an orange design that works and looks awesome. I think it would be awesome if you guys did actually categorise news. Maybe not the old stuff, but new stuff. It would make it alot easier just to view the news of say, emotion and DP database updates without viewing other news. |
