Title: Efficiency Of The New Server Design
Post by: landbeforetimelover on July 23, 2009, 01:11:00 PM

I'm basically wondering if the new design change was a mistake.  There are no more text-based menu items.  They're all symbol based now and I was wondering if this made things a little confusing for some people.

A few features have been removed and I was wondering if people missed them?  Such as the advanced search feature and the server stats.  There's not room for everything in this new design.  

What about the design itself?  Any suggestions?  Is it better than the old design?

Well, I was quite used to the old one, but it only took a very short amount of time to figure out the new one.  Good thing too, because I forgot to put up a file. :oops

I'm sure it will be good for many more who come to check it out.

I'm glad.  I still have much work to do on the server itself.  For one, there's no preview feature anymore and I have no idea how to add one yet.  I'm working on a new type of Javascript popup preview similar to the one that's used on TheLandBeforeTime.org (http://www.thelandbeforetime.org), but I don't have a lot of free time.  It'll take some time to get this stuff out.

Hopefully no one misses the old features.  I thought it was time to get the server looking like it was designed for use with Windows Vista and Windows 7.  The old server design had such a Windows XP "feel" to it and the server design before that felt like Windows 98. :p  :lol
