Create Some Separation
« on: August 30, 2017, 09:10:43 AM »
Is there anyway to create a little separation between this site and that other one?  I realize that since they are both powered by SMF it might be a little difficult but if you look at the them side by side they are basically the same in terms of look and feel.  Maybe try a different color palette?  I am not familiar with any behind the scenes widgets that might be available but usually you can make some minor modifications to the template that is provided to "make it your own".

Just a thought........

Bent wants a different color -- I think he is partial to red since that is one of the FSU colors.  I thought that might be a little bold, but, what the heck!!  Maybe change colors around and see what happens.

If folks give us a little time, we will try and modify.  We are unfamiliar with a lot of stuff (I am probably the most cautious because I don't want us to crash the site) but we will be customizing over the comings weeks/months.

If folks have suggestions for titles of boards, please let us know.  I cannot guarantee that we will change something, but it is always good to have ideas and input to mull and consider.

I've been thinking the same thing.

I was a little surprised when I logged on this morning and was greeted with red banners but, I sorta like it.   And this site seems to be taking off and flying.   :beer:

OK, I've made some changes: page background color, category colors, header background color, site logo...

Mine still looks the same as before aside from the pellet fan logo banner at the top. I'm using my phone. Should it look differently?

The background images are likely cached so it could take some time to reload the new ones.  Here is what it looks like on my phone:

OK, doesn't look like that yet on my computer, but I will wait for it to catch up.

I'd still like to see Pellet Fan stand out more, left and right lettering seem to blend in with the background  :2cents:

The logo right now may be very temporary -- or we may decide to rotate a few.  I just wanted to change things up right away to start having some of the "separation" folks were talking about.  We are still building things.  That's why, if anyone has some logo ideas, post them in the logo thread.

We have a strange situation in our home.  Bent uses a laptop and access the internet using internet explorer.  He gets the new red version just fine.  I have a PC and use chrome and I have the new logo with the old blue threads.  World is not going to come to an end, but I sure think his red version looks snappier!

I had no idea what that meant but we started experimenting.  We may have wiped everything out -- who knows -- but I now get the red version.  Thanks!
