Feedback for new header design

[emmett]

On a serious note.....



Anyone who wants to get rid of the red can go down to the bottom left of the page and change it back to default. So if the red is all you don;t like .... you don;t have to look at it.

I love the header like I said previously and the red looks great but it messes with my brain. I think because its such a drastic contrast it causes something of a split focus for me. It almost makes me nauseated. I'll try it again when I'm not tired and see if it gets any better.

I'm trying to find a blend of a darker red that isn't sore on the eyes, like a blood red. I can deal with this one for now....

Great new colors Jim. I love the red boarders, and the new header

Thanks

I like it Jim, this color of red is better.

Thanks to you 2!

OK....here it goes.


I have chosen to wait until others chimed in. I recommended so many changes I guess ...or.....ideas, whatever, I wanted to wait and see what everybody else thought.


I think: (drum rolls)

- Still not enough "liberal" looking stuff on the front. Too military.....I love the military and love the Constitution, also love Mt. Rushmore, no problem there but it still screams "conservative" website. Just my opinion.

- The work is very nice. The red is a bit bright, it's funny.....I liked it when I first logged on but after a while it got "bright".

- The header also doesn't show any women. I realize one can't depict woman these days in any capacity except wearing a hardhat and running a construction crew, sitting at the head of a corporate lunch table, etc,.;.; or it is politically incorrect, meaning of course that we can;t show women in the kitchen cooking dinner or anything. I wouldn't think of something so demeaning as to suggest women would want to cook dinner for the family, don;t get me wrong. I realize the liberals would be all over us. Not that I care.

- My ideas of making the site a bity more "liberal looking" were for the obvious reasons. Frankly I love the header and think it looks grrrrreeeeaat!!!! I do think we should have women on the banner. I think we should put a barefoot....pregnate...long haired women that looks like June Clever with an apron on the banner shown washing dishes with a stove in the background. LOL

Emmett, your extensive feedback has not been ignored or overlooked. The pictures you see up there now are certainly not permanent. I will certainly toss a few of your ideas in there. While I can change them easily at any time, I'd also like to have some finality to the header. I'll let you know as anything changes.

On a serious note.....

Also, if you go into your user control panel, then choose "edit options", the last choice on this page is what style you would like to use. If you prefer the blue borders, choose "default" and you will always see the blue when logged in.

Emmett - clear your temporary internet files and reload, let me know what you think of the 2 pictures I changed.

This goes for everyone else as well, but I made the changes based on Emmett's feedback.

Dude...what are you doing...shes CLOTHED!!!

[emmett]

Now that is exactly what I was referring to. Excellent work. Now we have a banner that speaks to alot of hats.

Thanks for the kudos Jim>

Not that I am getting a fat head or anything but I do have just one more suggestion.

The banner is now superb.....LOOKS GREAT! However if there could be two more boxes to the outside, (move the American Flag and capitol out of course to ends but put in two more pictures) one on each side.

One would have....... a picture of some guys standing around at a construction site, maybe a couple of them of different persuasions all wearing hardhats or something

The other would be a picture of a truck driver , maybe with his wife (co-driver) standing in front of their truck. Truck drivers are a huge....HUGE....chat site patronage group and I would like to lure them. We have some truck drivers on here to debate things with them and could possibly even have a trucking thread for them all to debate different issues on between themselves. There are alot of armchair politicians in trucks, both left and right, would be a good lure I think.

How about a law enforcement thread too / EMT ? Firefighter / etc,....

A picture of them could come up only on that thread?????? Maybe a firefighter carrying a kid, a cop, an ambulance and some pictures related to their profession,etc,...

Again...just sounding off. I love designing stuff man, this has really stimulated my interest big time! Problem is I am a technodummie, I can think of it.....just can't do it and need a pro to make it happen. Obviously Jim found a pro.........

[maineman]

it's your board Jim.... you do what makes you happy, and my guess is, that a board owned by a happy owner will attract interesting people.

A-hem... perhaps a teacher? LOL! Maybe a nerdy guy at his computer, smoking cigs and wearing pajamas?

[Kathianne]

All over you!

[hjmick]

All over you!

Damn, need to close the blinds...

[Mr. P]

Still loads on the left for me on two different puters.

I also lose remote connections with other puters if I sign in here. That never happened with the old Banner..I guess the new one takes more memory?

You are hot. Wife should turn hose on you.
