Re: How about designing new interface/bg for the e+ site

what i can say i do not like all those templates, they may be good for a company business cart but not for page like e+

i always liked far more the previous template of e+ it was a lot better to read and find stuff in, current template make a headache each time i am trying to find anything in this board is is completely non intuitive not speaking all the buttons/icons about posting missing

I am addicted to life.

Cheers Frank, that's a really nice, elaborate explanation. To be perfectly honest, that saying confuses me as well when i seriously consider the word for word meaning. I can see how it could be seen as a negative to someone not familiar with it.

You are right, I should have read the whole post, including the quote. I am sorry if you felt offended by my reply. As Frank said, it did not apply to you. You know there is a guy, willing to help this project and people are trying to scare him away, at least it looked like that to me. This saying just fit perfectly. Sayings are informative and not meant to be offending, even if they contain words like "dumb".

I know, it just felt like you're over-reacting a bit. Glad we cleared the air. Happy

Still, I cannot agree with both of you. The German phrase for this is "gar nicht schlecht". KOMPR3SSOR * 3U just perfectly explained the meaning of it, especially as someone who's native language is not english. You say that when something is between good and bad, you don't really think it's perfect but it's better than nothing. A compliment would be to say it's great/awesome/good/perfect/etc.

That's true, but the implied meaning is positive. It's all contextual but still, maybe i really should have used different words to express myself - i don't think they are exceptionally good, but i do feel they are solid. I don't believe in sugar coating and overblown complimenting, so me saying "solid" is actually a compliment.

Let me put it like this - Counter-Strike is a much more popular mod than E+. It's commercially viable and extremely popular, yet i'm sure most people here would agree (despite my history and attitude towards it, i'm one of those people as well) that E+ is actually a better mod.

Alright, enough off-topic from me. If this thing goes through, i'd love if the design was a throwback to the old one, of course tailor fit to the current layout, maybe with some small adjustments. I think it would be a nice compromise between the then and the now. Peace.

I think this website might need a tighter integration with social media platforms.

Though Crysis has very good design, but the "main portal" that excessiveplus.net is should stay as simple as possible. Could Crysis's time and talent be spent on project around this portal (pickup stated earlier is, as far as I am concerned, very interesting and should be explored).

I will not talk as a pro in web desinging, but as a user, it needs some modifications, the fact that it is simple is the best thing about it, however, the layout doesn't make it feel as simple as it really is.

Things could be arranged in a different way making it feel simpler I guess, also more fashionable.

More graphically, True! just as you said

I may help with that if needed


Have fun at E+ and never take it with hard feelings no matter how much you lose nor how much stupid or dump or punk or bad or blithering idiot the player you are playing with really is, it's just a game and we are here to have fun and enjoy our times!!

Re: How about designing new interface/bg for the e+ site

what i can do to help improve the design and visual concept is to design a PSD with my creation, then the programmers can help to code what i design and implement that into the full website.

That's the only way I can help with this since I've lot of work with clients at the moment.

If you guys are cool with that, in my free time i could start designing something nice to the site and another thing if is possible if i can have something in the footer like designed by me If that's to much to ask Big grin would be nice.

Talking on just a graphical note, how about holding a banner/header design competition?

how about design the whole template web design, header only will not make this site look that better imo.

I meant to be introduced into a new template, Its always good to get a community involved in 'local' projects. Involvement creates a more profound sense of ownership.

Crys1s,

First, we need to know who are the admins of this site? is it you? or are you just a user who's making a suggestion?

* was your comment about you making the graphical side while leaving the coding pointed to me? since I was the last to comment before it! or maybe you were speaking in general?

Because I think that I understand your point and am trying to make it clear to others,

Also team work is good! for those whom are good with websites buildings also using this site usually, lets cooperate for to make the change, and make it a better change!

Franks Idea is good, and that is what we really are talking about! its to make a whole new template for the site since changing the header would only make it look like if the site changed status.
