Dream17: New server, new look

[Squirminator2k]

Dream17 has finally migrated to its swanky new server and with the move comes a rather nifty site redesign. The new site, which has been constructed from only the most durable Awesome available, is up and ready to go if you live in the UK - [Click here to check it out (http://www.dream17.co.uk/)]

If you are having trouble accessing the site at the new server you may want to try [this temporary link (http://82.110.105.84/dream17.co.uk/)]

I must say, I really don't like the large white space. The warning messages seem a bit threatening too.


I have seen the site, Looks a little weird at first, but thats probably because nothing seems to be loading correctly for me.

The site should be stable now, although it's probably still crawling with bugs all over the place which I'll slowly iron out (report it all to me!). You either tried to get in while I was doing changes or fixing things.

Via www.dream17.co.uk the style sheet doesn't load.
Via the temporary link it does load, but if I switch the skin to purple, it returns to the white one when clicking somewhere or reloading and doesn't remember for the next session. Cookie problem?

[Squirminator2k]

Yeah, I'm having the same stylesheet problem (although Dream17.co.uk works fine for me). Hopefully this is something Sup and I can iron out today.

I blame CyberShadow, personally - the site was working fine until he insisted upon some kind of web standards being implemented...! :p

I usually fix all the problems a day or two after I make a big change and then pretend they were just DNS propagation issues.

The different banners are a nice touch. (thumbs up)

I give it 4 out of 5 and a mango (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/mango/)

ARGH! I hate white styles!


Phew! That purple is still there! bit difficult to find the skin selector.

very nice website :)

I like everything but the choice of colors. Not many gamming sites are out there that threaten my sexuality quite like this one. :p

[Squirminator2k]

You can use the original black and purple scheme, or failing that we're working on some additional colours. Superfrog Green will return to the site in both light and dark forms, as well as some other colours. Right now we're in discussions with Red, Blue and Orange, however yellow has pulled out at this time due to a scheduling conflict.

Fix the toolbar links at the top of the forum. I don't like links that take me to nowhere.

The Forum is the last thing we need to get into the new design and as it doesn't see a large amount of traffic we didn't see it as a priority before launching the new design. We will get it sorted in the next week or so, hopefully getting it to fit nicely into the existing design.

We're also looking at alternative forum software. The recent hacking of the Penny Arcade Forums (which used a heavily modified version of phpBB) just shows how insecure it can be.
